CATIA V5 Tips
 
1. For picking up default views (top, left, bottom, ISO) it should be better to enable the option for customizing or to fix the short keys for the default views.
 
2.To select all the existing planes in current window, go to Catia command prompt type t:plane, so the planes selects automatically & u can hide/show.
 
3.In Generative Shape Design (GSD), its better give a clear idea in documentation how to use the command Reflect in Project-Combine toolbar
 
4.To improve the performance of the modeling, reduce the undo stack size to 3 or 4 undo’s. (Tools-options-general-PCS).
 
5.To retain the part in the assembly to its origin from the current position, snap the compass on that part & double click on the compass and edit the XYZ positions to Zero and apply.
