Introduction Layer usage in P&ID is still not GA in 24x and we don't know when it will become GA It can be used with Environement variable : RFLP_SCH_LAYERS=1 Instead of layer , you can use Multiple View. The advantage of Layers is that : the data from the different layers can be connected you can more easily move element from one layer to another afterward Layer usage - user side Exemple of layer usage to store in P&ID for multi langage information note: layer information is store at the View

I generated a drawing from an assembly in the CATIA Drafting app. I needed to draw some conceptual lines and hence sketched them on the sheet along with the view on the sheet. But some lines are black along with the view and some are bright green. See this - Upon exporting this in a PDF file this color is visible in the PDF as well. How can I make sure I am using the sketcher properly for this purpose? How can I ensure that I have all black lines while exporting and viewing the drawing?

I just created the drivers for the two pivot links for wheel rotation and assigned them the formula: 36deg/1s and when I start the animation preview, I get the following error message Additional issue I wanted to attach the 3DXML file of my physics simulation, but I don’t understand why I can’t do it since my assembly data is in the released state!

The interference rules is used to customize and control how interference such as clashes, clearances, or contacts are computed. These rules help filter out irrelevant interferences (e.g., intentional contacts like seals or fasteners) and focus on critical issues, improving productivity by reducing noise in the results. Rules are defined using Knowledge Rules, which allow users to specify conditions for when interferences should (or should not) be computed, based on part attributes, types, or

There are recommendations that we can give but mainly they provide minor improvement on the process. Main effort should be to focus on 3D model size and information consistency. Try to avoid using “3d Clipping” wherever possible as it has noticeable effect depending on the 3d data Use PLM Filters where possible for 3D selection View Update Rule (VUR) has almost trivial impact on performanceGenerally try to set up graphical representation via GVS and just supplement annotations via VUR Stream

Hello everyone, I have created a product table in an assembly that deactivates individual instances within the assembly depending on the configuration.
