Opening Existing Documents
This task shows you how to open an existing document when Version 5 is already running. Several methods are available to open an existing document: • • • • • • • File->Open... command Insert->Existing Component... command Start->Documents command on Windows Windows Explorer or My Computer (Windows) or File Manager (UNIX) drag and drop a document icon Open in New Window contextual command Open the Pointed Document contextual command
What you should know before you start
• • Bear in mind that Dassault Syst mes guarantees upward compatibility for Version 5 data As far as downward compatibility is concerned, Version 5 data can be reused from one service pack to another, provided that they belong to the same release. If the Version 5 data do not belong to the same release, they can still be reused in case of CATPart documents but this implies the use of a specific process detailed in Using the Version 5 Compatibility Batch You will not be allowed to open a document created using Version 5 if its name contains national characters or forbidden special characters. For a reminder, refer to About Filenames When a .CATPart document containing a Sheet Metal Design feature is opened on a configuration level (i.e. P1, P2 or P3) lower than the level on which the feature was created, all the icons of all the workbenches available in your configuration are grayed out. Note that this may also occur when working with Generative Shape Design or Part Design features.

5. If you are sure you do not intend to modify the document in any way, you may want to open the document in read-only mode. If so, activate the "Open as read-only" option. The "Open as read-only" option is intended to prevent users from overwriting a document accidentally: when this option is activated for a document, you can read this document in your Version 5 session but you cannot save it unless you change the document path (by selecting another folder or accessing another document environment) or the document name (by entering another name in the File name field). However, keep in mind that this option does not supersede access right management functionalities provided by your operating system. When opening a document pointing to other documents with the "Open as readonly" option activated, the read-only mode only applies to the selected root document. The pointed documents will be loaded in read-write mode and may be loaded independently from the root document. 6. Click Open. In case an error occurs when opening a file (e.g. unknown document name, nonsupported file format, corrupted file, etc.), an Incident Report window opens. It displays the error history and indicates for each error its type, object and description. This history is maintained throughout the whole session, the errors being classified by degree of severity.

In CATIA V5, each window is associated to a document. As far as volatile documents are concerned, they cannot be opened using the Open in New Window command (an error message is issued). For instance, you cannot open in a new CATIA V5 window a Product Root Class created in ENOVIA V5 because a "PRC" is an ENOVIA V5 concept which has no equivalent in CATIA V5 If you modify a document open in a new window then decide not to save the modification when closing the new window, this does not imply that the modification will not appear in the parent window: it only means that the document will not be saved at the end of the session. The reason is that the modification you made has been loaded in memory. Therefore, after closing the new window, the only way to restore the document in the parent window is to use the Undo command.
Using the Open the Pointed Document Contextual Command
This task shows you how to open a pointed document in a new window. 1. If a document is already open in a Version 5 session, select the item pointing to a referenced document from the specification tree. Note: this command is available for geometrical external references and external parameters only. For instance, you will be able to use this command when selecting a geometry pasted "As Result With Link" in a CATPart document different from the one in which it has been copied (the geometry is identified by the following symbol: ). 2. Right-click then select the xxx object-> Open the Pointed Document contextual command. The document pointed to by the selected item is opened in a new window.

Opening Existing Documents
This task shows you how to open an existing document when Version 5 is already running. Several methods are available to open an existing document: • • • • • • • File->Open... command Insert->Existing Component... command Start->Documents command on Windows Windows Explorer or My Computer (Windows) or File Manager (UNIX) drag and drop a document icon Open in New Window contextual command Open the Pointed Document contextual command
What you should know before you start
• • Bear in mind that Dassault Syst mes guarantees upward compatibility for Version 5 data As far as downward compatibility is concerned, Version 5 data can be reused from one service pack to another, provided that they belong to the same release. If the Version 5 data do not belong to the same release, they can still be reused in case of CATPart documents but this implies the use of a specific process detailed in Using the Version 5 Compatibility Batch You will not be allowed to open a document created using Version 5 if its name contains national characters or forbidden special characters. For a reminder, refer to About Filenames When a .CATPart document containing a Sheet Metal Design feature is opened on a configuration level (i.e. P1, P2 or P3) lower than the level on which the feature was created, all the icons of all the workbenches available in your configuration are grayed out. Note that this may also occur when working with Generative Shape Design or Part Design features.

5. If you are sure you do not intend to modify the document in any way, you may want to open the document in read-only mode. If so, activate the "Open as read-only" option. The "Open as read-only" option is intended to prevent users from overwriting a document accidentally: when this option is activated for a document, you can read this document in your Version 5 session but you cannot save it unless you change the document path (by selecting another folder or accessing another document environment) or the document name (by entering another name in the File name field). However, keep in mind that this option does not supersede access right management functionalities provided by your operating system. When opening a document pointing to other documents with the "Open as readonly" option activated, the read-only mode only applies to the selected root document. The pointed documents will be loaded in read-write mode and may be loaded independently from the root document. 6. Click Open. In case an error occurs when opening a file (e.g. unknown document name, nonsupported file format, corrupted file, etc.), an Incident Report window opens. It displays the error history and indicates for each error its type, object and description. This history is maintained throughout the whole session, the errors being classified by degree of severity.

In CATIA V5, each window is associated to a document. As far as volatile documents are concerned, they cannot be opened using the Open in New Window command (an error message is issued). For instance, you cannot open in a new CATIA V5 window a Product Root Class created in ENOVIA V5 because a "PRC" is an ENOVIA V5 concept which has no equivalent in CATIA V5 If you modify a document open in a new window then decide not to save the modification when closing the new window, this does not imply that the modification will not appear in the parent window: it only means that the document will not be saved at the end of the session. The reason is that the modification you made has been loaded in memory. Therefore, after closing the new window, the only way to restore the document in the parent window is to use the Undo command.
Using the Open the Pointed Document Contextual Command
This task shows you how to open a pointed document in a new window. 1. If a document is already open in a Version 5 session, select the item pointing to a referenced document from the specification tree. Note: this command is available for geometrical external references and external parameters only.

Creating Annotated Views
You can draw straight lines, freehand lines, circles, arrows and rectangles. You can create complex annotations by combining several objects as well as include text in document views. You can even insert pictures (tiff, jpg, bmp, rgb) and audio markers. This task explains how to annotate your documents. Insert all the cgr files from the samples folder: ATOMIZER.cgr BODY_1_2.cgr BODY_2_2.cgr LOCK.cgr NOZZLE_1_2.cgr NOZZLE_2_2.cgr REGULATION_COMMAND.cgr REGULATOR.cgr TRIGGER.cgr VALVE.cgr To annotate documents, you must be in an active view. Objects drawn are associated with the active view and , by default, will no longer be visible if the view is changed via rotate (translate and zoom are not considered changes to the view and therefore they do not impact the visibility of annotations). However, there is a new option that allows you to "Unlink" the annotations of an annotated view, thereby enabling you to rotate the view without losing the associated annotations: • • Select the view in the Specification Tree Right-click and select Link / Unlink in the contextual menu.
You can also add 2D annotations in active views in the Section viewer for example. Annotations are no longer visible if you change viewer.
