    tutorials or training books

    Hi. First of all, V5 is not at all like V4, but when you get to work with it, the advantages of V5 will be huge. I personally would prefer a catia course by a dealer you have thrust to, because there is so many different approaches and methodologies. But if you would like to do “self study”...

    3D CAD software for plastic part design

    Hi Peka Fm1 is not a standalone, but a add on for a catia configuration. Combine for example a xm1 and a fm1 and you got you self a strong modelling system. If you “feel the need to” invest a little more money I would personally go for the ym2.(freestyler and so on included) Best regards.

    close profile - view commands

    There is not a command called “close profile” but from Catia 5V7 (SP4 or 5 I think) there is a command called “sketch analysis” you can find it under “tools”. This command should do the trick when you have problems whit sketches. Best regards
