I just tried it and the problem is still there. In fact there are no problem files, only the tree gets displayed with Catproducts which displayed fine on my former computer. Even new empty CatProducts show nothing and keep showing nothing when you insert existing parts!
So far this is what I've...

Hi all,
Before posting the question I did a search first and found that someone in this forum already had a similar problem 3 years ago, unfortunately nobody could help him at that time.
Seems it's my turn now after having to use an older laptop: no part geometry is...
Hello all,
My last experience with Catia was with V5R8. I will have to use now from time to time R14.
How much has the user interface changed in the meantime?
Do I need to ask for training? (I hope not!)
BTW I'm talking about the usual stuff (part/assembly/drafting/parameters...)

Hello all,
I have just created some bodies using boolean operations with other bodies (add) at the part and product level.
Well, when I make a change to the original bodies the resulting "boolean" bodies just do not update. I must delete and recreate them.
When I do the same using the "old...
Hello all,
I searched first in the FAQ page but didn't find a similar thread, so here I go.
I inserted 10 instances of the same part inside my assembly and found things didn't look very tidy. If I packed them all inside a sub-assembly I would end up with a specific Catproduct file for it...
Hi all,
Gunman, what annoys you is called "Smartpick" (as you pointed out, a bit too smart sometimes :o)
You can disable some/all of its features in Options->Mechanical->Sketcher->Smartpick
Puck, you mentioned something about moving items within their parent product.
I regularly have some...
Hello Slipson,
You're talking about "learning Catia the right way". Are you talking about formal training?
I learned Catia "my way", and as we all know there's good and bad in self-training (a lot of good, hopefully :o)
For example, in assembly design, I begin with a part containing only...
Thank to all of you for your valuable help!
Puck, your're right. I've only got 5 configurations and creating 5 files is in this case the fastest way to go. You can also choose "user-friendly" names as you create them.
As for what you said, Arkangel (resolve the part families in the catalog)...
Hi all, it's me and my silly questions again.
I've got a part with different configurations (driven by a design table), and I'd like to insert several instances of the same in an assembly, each one with a different configuration. (by the way, something very easy to do with Sol****rks :o)
If I...
Hi all,
I'm just a quite recent V5 user and I just don't understand some things about the "Catia strategy".
Why did Dassault launch the V5, and so many subsequent releases?
Today many companies are still using V4. Did Dassault expect them to migrate to V5? Why do they stick to V4 anyway? And...
Thank you Amitkulk, you saved my day!
By the way, I'm on W2000 and the trouble was that only ONE of the users had the settings right, and I wanted ALL users to have the same "startoff settings" on their sessions.
Generally speaking for all Options settings: are those done by the Administrator...
Hi all,
Some months ago I couldn't see any parameters or design tables on my design tree. I solved it by checking some option in the Options menu
Well, I as stupid enough not to write it down! I'm faced with the same problem again, and this time I can't waste too much time with it.
If...
Hi all,
I´ve using the same W2K Catia V5R10 install for some months now, and the buggy things I´ve seen so far are:
-2 or 3 sudden W2K restart (one every 3 weeks, I can cope with that :o)
-the message "Brocken link" always with the same assembly (and a very simple one, for what`s...
It´s all right, I´ve found the/one way to do it.
In the Part design workbench, the only surface functions I found measured the total surface of the part.
BUT, if you create a Catproduct and insert the part in it, you can now use the Assembly Measure functions on the part! :o)
I just have to...
Hi all,
I´ve trying to measure the volume of a Body in a Catpart. So far no problem: I´ve found the right function.
But I´d also like to "partially" measure its surface. That is, the Body is faceted, and I´d like to measure the total surface of only two of its faces, not all of them...
Hi all,
I'm an electro-mechanical designer (more electro than mechanical though :o) I work mainly with electronic CAD packages, which are, compared with mechanical CAD, exclusively 2D (an have lots of library work)
My question is about CatiaV5 electric workbenches (Electronic Board Design...
A answer to Monsieur FrenchCad :o)
I've seen in 2002 a technical highschool in Paris offering:
CV5R9 training, 1month training= 140 hours, 3000 euros.
That's 150 euros/day/person, isnt't it?
How come prices are that different from one place to another, in the same area ????
Azrael, it seems to me you have quite some experience about using gaming cards for CAD purposes.
I plan to buy very soon a GF4-TI4800 (150euros here in Paris) and use it with CatiaV5R10. Did it work fine for you? Did you use the Softquadro tuning, and if so, was it difficult?
I guess using a...
Hi all,
I wanted to test CatiaV5R10 on my PC (AMD1800XP, 256MDDR and ATI rage pro 128 videocard)
I know its not an ideal CAD videocard, but as I said, I just wanted to test and compare Catia to other software CAD I know.
Well, Catia hangs VERY often and I am sure its the video card. Setting 8...
