    Catia v5 Mouse Customization - Zoom/Pan/Rotate

    My company just acquired a Catia license to do some Ford work and I also use UG NX and Pro/Engineer on a daily basis (same computer).

    My assembly shows up as "Part is Reference Only" in drawing

    I was doing option B. So I just tried saving the template in the UG templates folder on my C: drive but it's not showing up when I go to File New Drawing. Is there a specific naming format that I need in order to make it show up in the templates library?

    New to UG NX5 & GM Toolkit

    Our customer just required us to purchase a seat of UG NX5 so we could submit GM compliant models for them to upload into TeamCenter. I am the sole designer here and have limited training in UG let alone Toolkit. I am also on Pro/Engineer. This seems like a great place to turn to for questions...
