Now I have 2 pieces that are separate, but...

    Transformation/Circulation Pattern

    How do you skip one particular object in a circular pattern? I made an object at the 6 o'clock position, and then I made 8 instances at 45 deg, so I got objects at the 12, 1.30, 3,4.30,6, 7.30, 9, and 10.30 o'clock positions. I want to eliminate the 12 o'clock object. I looked at the "more"...

    Cut View

    There is one option in Catia where you can cut a body along a line or plane, and see one half, and when you move the cutting line/plane up or down, the cut section grows or diminishes. I hve used this b4, but can't remember how to turn it on. Can somebody please help, Thanks

    Update Disappears

I changed one dimension, then exited the sketch, the part turned red, and then I looked for the little blueish update whirlwind thingy symbol in my bottom left corner of the bottom toolbar, and it was gone! I also looked in the pull down...
