General Issues

DMU Viewer
DMU Viewer is no longer available.
2D Annotations
2D annotations do not function in multi-viewpoint mode.

When printing 2D annotations:

  • you should not use the print mode Whole Doc (this mode causes the annotations to be misaligned with respect to the model).
  • you should also not use the option Rendering Quality Custom, which has the same effect of misaligning the annotations
  • you must export the variable CAPTURE_WITHOUT_PBUFFER=1 in order that the other Print display and selection options will not undergo the above misalignment effect .

2D Annotations created in the section window can be displayed by first selecting the section window and then launching Manage Annotated Views command. Double-clicking on the 2D Annotation in the Specification Tree will not display it.

DMU 2D Workshop
  • When opening or inserting a DXF document, some texts and dimensions may not be displayed.

Workaround: In order to display correctly most of the texts and dimensions, please use CATDMUUtility2D to convert the DXF in cgm format.

  • It is recommended that you not use the Open in New Window command in the DMU 2D Viewer.
DMU 2D Workshop / Print
The Print command will by default print the viewer content.
  • In Display mode, the viewer content is printed as is.
  • In Whole document mode, the viewer content is printed as if the entire document were visible in the viewer (equivalent to the Fit All In command).
  • Fit in page and rotation are not taken into account.
DMU 2D Workshop / Comparing Drawings
The comparison precision depends on the zoom factor in the 2D viewer. Thus, in case of large images, some differences will not be detected without zooming if these differences are too small regarding the image size.
DMU 2D Workshop / Compare CGM Files
CGM Files generated using SaveAs, Capture or Print, up to R18 and included, were enlarged by a thin surrounding margin.
This was an unwanted behavior. Therefore, beginning in R19, this surrounding margin for CGM is removed. However, if you compare a CGM generated in R18 or earlier, and a CGM generated in R19 or later, this margin difference will appear.

Bypass: Exporting the variable CATPrintOldVDCExtentForCGM = 1 allows you to rollback to R18 behavior so that the margin difference will not appear.

Running the CATDMUUtility Batch Process
When generating a cgr file from a CATProduct, cgr files will also be generated for all components of the CATProduct. 

The cgr generated for certain V4 models (e.g. solids) does not permit exact measure.

Running the CATDMUBuilder Batch Process
When generating a CATProduct using the option -onlyone, all CATProducts of the assembly will be generated.
Saving DMU Old Scenes in ENOVIAVPM in Mode "Publication Exposed"
When trying to save DMU old scenes in ENOVIAVPM in mode "publication exposed", the following error message appears on the ENOVIAVPM side:

 "error 110 - Database error 410"

Workaround:

  1. First save the CATProduct without the scenes (Create and Save commands).
  2. Add the scenes (or any other DMU application data).
  3. File -> Save to update the CATProduct in ENOVIAVPM.

This problem does not occur with Enhanced Scenes.

Visualization Problems for Certain Graphic Display Cards
The option "Optimize cgr for large assembly visualization" (Tools / Options / Infrastructure / Product Structure / Cgr Management) could  lead to visualization problems when used on an AIX machine with the following graphic display cards:
  • GXT 2000P
  • GXT 3000P
  • GXT 4000P
  • GXT 4500P
3D XML
For information in the Program Directory concerning the 3D XML format, see:
  • ENOVIA: DMU Infrastructure, 3D XML
  • CATIA: CATIA Object Manager, 3D XML.
Saving as .model
It is no longer possible to save DMU Navigator files in .model format.
Reviews - No Show
Warning: In DMU Navigator, when you transfer a Review to No Show space, Groups that belong to the Review will not be transferred to No Show space at the same time.

Open Issues

DMU Review - Copying / Pasting a Multi-selection
It is not currently possible to copy / paste a multi-selection consisting of multiple applicative data types.
DMU 2D Workshop /  Delete
The Delete function does not currently work in the 2D Workshop. It is not possible to delete inserted documents or markers.
Running the CATDMUBuilder Batch Process
CATDMUBuilder cannot generate a CATProduct from a structure-exposed product stored in ENOVIA V5 VPM.
Technological Packages
In a Technological Package saved under an intermediate node (part version), if you double-click 3d Text in the geometry in order to edit it, it will disappear from the geometry.

Workaround: You can click the 3d Text in the specification tree in order to retrieve it.

Proximity Query
A 3dmap cache generated on AIX is not usable on HP.
Fast Clash Detection
If the option 'Use voxelization for collision detection' is checked in Tools/Option/Digital Mockup/DMU Navigator, voxelization (vps files) is not recomputed correctly when applying a visualization filter ('Visualization Filters...' and 'CATIA V4 Layer Filters...' commands).
Save as 3D XML
When opening a 3D XML, Presentation Browser thumbnails may not be correct.

Documentation

Apply Enhanced Scene on Assembly
Given that in an Enhanced Scene context the assembly is seen as flexible, applying positions of an Enhanced Scene to an Assembly will make this assembly flexible as well.
