What's New?

New Functionalities

Reordering sheets and views Reorder sheets or views in the required sequence.
Clipping view: This capability allows you to clip the 2D and 3D backgrounds of layout views using a circular or polygonal profile.
2D mode for view background: The 3D elements and 2D elements that are not in the same plane as the view are filtered from view background, by activating the 2D mode property for the required view.
Analyzing View Geometries: This capability allows you to analyze view geometries whether it is under-constrained, over-constrained or iso-constrained. Complete information about every element of the geometry or constraint of a view is given. Information on each projection or intersection (use-edges) is also given.
Associative use edges: This capability allows you to create use-edges which are associated to geometry and customize the color at creation.
Setting Small Scale in CATIA V5 Session: The Small Scale feature allows you to create smaller geometries with a high accuracy of less than 1 micron. In 2D Layout for 3D Design there are a few points which you should consider.

Pasting driving dimensions: This capability allows you to paste driving dimensions along with geometry in Sketcher workbench.
True Type Fonts support on UNIX: The True Type fonts are now supported on UNIX also.
2D Layout persistent rendering mode: This capability allows the saving of the rendering mode in the document and is used to displayed the layout when opening it.
Coordinate dimension value display format: This capability allows you to define the display format of the coordinate dimensions. The new Numerical Properties toolbar manages the display format for all the dimensions including the coordinate dimensions.
Generating the FTA elements: This capability allows you to export the FTA annotations and constructed geometry from 2D layout views to drafting.
Annotations blanking enhancements: This capability allows you to blank geometries in addition to area fill. Blanking can also be defined for both dimensions and leader symbols.
Background display and Cutting Plane: The Cutting Plane and Display Backgrounds as Specified for Each View switches are automatically activated when loading a layout.

Customize the definition of the view box: This capability allows you to customize the definition of the view box with manipulators, while creating primary views using 3D reference. When no selection is made in 3D, you can change the primary view type, with respect to the view box, using the manipulators.
Clean up filters: Clean up of filter deletes unused filter or filters.

Display when loading layout: This options allows you to automatically activate the Cutting Plane and Display Backgrounds as Specified for Each View switches when loading a layout.
Clipping view outline customization: This option allows you to predefine the display of the clipping outline to be used for creating new clipped views.
2D visualization mode option: This option allows you to predefine the value to be used for 2D Mode when creating new views. The 2D Mode property allows you to display only the 2D planar elements that are in the same plane as this view in 3D.
Geometry: This new tab allows you to create associative use edges and customize its color.
