If CATIA® V5 uses a directory structure which separates the CATProducts from the CATParts, it might happen that when you try to open a CATProduct you get the message “Loading assembly error, try flat method”. It is enough to copy DLNames.CATSettings from CATIA® environment and paste it in : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\InterOp\CATSettings
Load/unload a product
In fully-shattered mode, we have products and sub-products. It is possible to open the tree structure without loading the geometries. It is very useful for huge models. To load or unload a product, it is enough to right click on the product and choose the option. Otherwise, if “load visible element” is enable in visibility toolbar, then to load a product it is enough to click on the checkbox.
Cutting plane v.s. cutting line shifting
When making a cutting plane, there is always some part of the piece that overflows off the cutting plane and cutting line.
It is a normal behavior: cutting plane and cutting line are shifted in order to allow users inserting quotations.
This shift is calculated based on a ratio (1/1000th of the longest diag. of the piece’s bounding box). So, when the piece is very long, this ratio can be significant.
This ratio can not be parameterized.
How to set a mouvement at a specific moment of an animation
For example, selection X has to move from position A at t=10s to position B at t=15s. Even if selection X did not moved from t=0s to t=10s, a position key must be setted at t=10s. So seemage will knows from when to start the movement. Otherwise, it will start from the previous position key for this selection X which, in that case, is t=0s.
Cutting Plane - Capping
Question: Strange capping seems to occur when rotate the model off axis.
Answer: Might be related to Z-buffer. Try a Zoom Fit All and zoom using the two mouse buttons instead of the ruler.
Seemage cannot be connected to the server
Question: During the launch of Seemage applications (nodelock or floating licenses), the display of the machine shows a warning indicating that Seemage cannot be connected to the server. What should I do?
Answer: It happens from time to time. This problem is linked to the FLEXlm software, and the way the variable LM_LICENSE_FILE is initialized. There is a way to go around the problem. Put the DWORD UseVariable in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Seemage\LicenseManager DWORD has two values: 0 and 1(by default). You will need to modify it to 0, if the Seemage applications are not launched. Please note that you will need the administrator mode to write into HKEY_MACHINE_LOCAL.

Export to Flash
There is no direct export from seemage to Flash. But seemage provides a complite set of functions in a free activeX. Player Integration is required to enable activeX command.
