What are the parameters which impact the CGR file size?
What are the parameters which impact the CGR file size? When saving a CATIA file, a CGR file that represents said 3D is automatically created. However, some parameters can have an important influence on the size of the CGR, making the operation of opening the file in Preview or in Large Assembly more complex and

How to move a part while preserving the same coordinates system?
How to move a part while preserving the same coordinates system? Sometimes there are some Parts that, because of migration or change of orientation/position, don’t have their coordinate system where desired. In the document below, there are two options that you can follow to do it. Moving a part See also: How to move an

How to build parametric models?
How to build parametric models? Parametric modeling aims to make “intelligent” models, which are directly driven by specifications, and which integrate the various knowledge around a project. The link below will present the methodology and the basic tools and rules to follow in order to build parametric models or parts in the CATIA V5 environment.

How to avoid contextual links?
How to avoid contextual links? It exists many types of links between CATIA documents. Among them, one is called contextual link, meaning that it exists a link between two parts in the context of a product. In some cases, this link can be replaced by a CCP link, that leads to the same result, without
