Catia v5 help files location

You can also use it to link two supporting texture image files. For more information on managed read-only areas, see Read-Only Areas. Once the CATMaterial files have been populated into Windchill , you must make them available through a central location for users downstream.

The checked in copies of the CATMaterial files and of the supporting image files should be copied from the administrator workspace, a central location that is referenced by users during design. PTC recommends that the location be a common location for all users — users must define this location either in the preferences on the server or in the wgmclient.

Check in the CATMaterial to the workspace. Save in the network the workspace local directory corresponding to the CATMaterial. The welcome page of the Version 5 online help library is displayed:. If you installed it elsewhere on the network, you must first map the appropriate network drive before starting a session, then specify a path as above when prompted.

The path is the same path you entered when installing the online documentation: the path displays the value of the CATDocView environment variable. When there are no settings, the value for the CATDocView variable is not displayed in the Location field, but in the directory chooser accessible by clicking the Path s selection icon.

This may be because the online documentation may have been physically moved to another location. If the online documentation is not found, the following dialog box appears: Browse to select the online documentation location. You must enter the real location; otherwise, the path you enter will be ignored.

For example, you can specify the following path type:. Click the Infrastructure icon to get familiar with Version 5 fundamentals, or the icon for the workbench you need information about. Any members contained in the catalog are stored in Windchill as an EPMDocument, and are considered a required dependent.

Relationships between the catalog and its members are managed in Windchill by a reference link between the EPMDocument of the catalog, and the EPMDocument catalog member. Since catalogs contain large amounts of parts and families, you can expect the checkin to take a substantial amount of time.

However, copying the catalog and its dependents to the workspace local directory before performing the checkin can reduce the time. Checking out a catalog or adding a catalog to the workspace adds the entire catalog to the shared workspace. Catalogs generally contain many CAD documents, and checkouts take longer than many similarly sized assemblies.

Since catalogs are very large sets of data, PTC recommends that you do not remove a catalog and its members from the shared workspace.

An administrator should initiate an update from the client on the shared workspace if members of a catalog have been changed in Windchill. Updating refreshes the workspace with the latest version of any of the documents in that workspace.

You can automatically download any updates of a catalog and its members in Windchill to a workspace by setting up a script that initiates automatic synchronization between Windchill and the shared catalog folder. Follow these steps:. The catalog. Duplicate this tag to specify additional catalogs if needed in the same shared workspace. Set up the scheduled task. Make changes and check in the catalog and its members within the shared workspace directory. The catalog is updated without having to update out-of-sync components.

Synchronize the catalog, either manually or automatically.
