Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for Sketch Tracer

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 Sketch Tracer 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 Sketch Tracer commands along with their accessibility status in Enovia V5. In some cases, restriction rules apply to certain commands.
