How to open via neighbourhood search (Spatial search and opening)
How to open via neighbourhood search (Spatial search and opening) In the PWB it is possible to open a specific document in context, along with any documents that touch its bounding box in the specified context. For example, if you have an engine and want to visualise only the parts that surround the crankshaft, this

How to Open a structure in context (partial loading)?
How to Open a structure in context (partial loading)? In the PWB it is possible to open on demand only certain selected nodes of the PDM structure in CATIA. This may be useful when you only need to load a specific set of nodes from a heavy model, but would like to save it in

How to preview a CAD document in CATIA from the PLM?
How to preview a CAD document in CATIA from the PLM? If you require to quickly review a 3D CATIA model it may be advantageous to use the 'preview in CATIA' command. This will open documents much faster compared to the standard method of opening native files in CATIA, or even opening the converted STEP

How is metadata managed between the PLM and CATIA?
How is metadata managed between the PLM and CATIA? A CAD document is made up of data, metadata. Some of this comes from CATIA such as the geometry, mass and material. Some of it comes from the PLM, Design code and RPG. Two pieces of metadata can be changed in both the PLM and CATIA,
