  • How to use the Emergency Save (Upload) and Open function of the CERN CATIA PLM toolbox?

    How to use the Emergency Save (Upload) and Open function of the CERN CATIA PLM toolbox? If you’re experiencing delays or failure when saving through the standard CATIA Connector, you can use the Emergency Save (also called Toolbox) function as a fallback to manually upload your work. You can also use this tool to open

    How to duplicate a structure?

    How to duplicate a structure? You can duplicate an entire structure using the following tool from the PDM workbench contextual menu. It will duplicate the entire structure, top down from the selected node. Once clicked, a list of the selected structure will open in the duplicate window, see the image below. As standard the whole

    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 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 to check if a document is ‘current’?

    How to check if a document is ‘current’? Its important to know if your CAD structure contains 'non latest' versions of CAD Documents, especially if you need to work with the latest data, while the latest data might be available in SmarTeam only. Within the PLM and CATIA connector there are various ways you can
