Multiple duplicate 3d model's linked to 2d model.
Multiple duplicate 3d model's linked to 2d model.
(OP)
Is there any way, either front door or behind the scenes, to get rid of multiple duplicate 3d model links on a 2d CATIA document. I know how to prevent it but I do not know how to get rid of unwanted links after the fact. I was given ownership of a document that has several duplicate links and would like nothing better than to get rid of all but one. The document has 38 views on it with around 500 dimensions and I really do not want to have to recreate all the views and dimensions just to clean up the multiple links. I there a way to do this without the hassle of recreating.

Is this V4 or V5?

Have you tried (or investigated) the "/links" command?

At my previous employer, we used the Overlay Function,
so I can't help you on this. If you have CatHelp installed, you
should be able to find info on deleting links. The other resource
is the IBM Hotline.
Incidently, I was a Catia user that was introduced to AutoCAD
as a secondary software to be used for "Tooling". I felt the same
way you did - about AutoCAD not having the 2D functions like
CATIA did.
But, we are not here to argue one package's merits above the other's.
You just learn how to do the best job with what you have.

I'm a CATIA user for about 8yrs now. I also have seen these duplicate links. But I don't care since they do not harm your model. Or do they in your case? In my experience I've seen people who have "cleaned" their model to death.
Personally I would be happy with your "mega-drawing" as it is. This saves time, money and your nerves.
Have a nice day
