Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for
Automotive BiW Fastening

When working with ENOVIA V5, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA. Therefore, in interoperability mode, some CATIA V5 commands are grayed out / hidden in the Automotive Body In White Fastening workbench.

ENOVIA V5 offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept).

To ensure seamless integration, you must have both a CATIA and ENOVIA session running.
   
  Please find below the list of the Automotive Body In White Fastening commands along with their accessibility status in Enovia V5 (in Explode mode). In some cases, restriction rules apply to certain commands.
