    How to add color to palette that is permanent?

    The way I've done it is to put colors to reference settings Start Catia in admin mode (you need to have rights for that) Define colors as usual. Close Catia CColors.CATSettings is now modified in reference settings not in user settings folder.

    broken view dimension

    What version of Catia you are using? I remember to seeing this if the dimension was attached to a view axis (h- or v-axis) instead of geometry.

    How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

    It is not possible to write text to a sketch. However, you can create a text in drawing (select some truetype font). Save a drawing as dxf (to create a vectors of text). Open dxf-file and copy-paste text to a sketch.

    Catia V5R16 cannot read AutoCad 2006?!?!?

    It is written in V5R16 documentation "Version 5 supports DXF/DWG formats version 12,13, 14 and AUTOCAD2000, AUTOCAD2000i and AUTOCAD2002."

    multiply part in assembly design with formula

    You still need that bogus pattern in part. You can drive number of instances of that pattern with assembly level parameter and relation. Multi instantiation tool in Assembly Design is one-time tool. There isn't any associativity with it.

    Sheetmetal workbenches

    Hello Catia gurus, I wonder if there is some way to identify the sheetmetal tool used to create a sheetmetal part. I know dimensions of sheetmetal parts can be modified at any sheetmetal workbench, but if I want to add features to part I must use the same workbench in which the part was...
