![]() The environment where the product is opened is called the “Blue Layer”, basically the place where we are used to work in V5. It has many other applications but to be concise those are the main two. ![]() The main purpose of this layer is to allow you to visually choose and open a part, but it can also be used to open specific part(s) within a product that you want for very large assemblies. It allows you see 3D thumbnails of the parts in a sort of turntable organized by the hierarchy. ![]() Simply put, it is a new environment that is accessed when you choose to “Explore” a product instead of opening it directly from the search window. The second most noticeable difference is the silver layer. The biggest difference between CATIA V6 and CATIA V5 is that it is server based, therefore it is required to search for a part or product before you can open it. But the skills and knowledge required to write the codes in V5 will transfer to V6 and other programming languages as well. One question I am getting asked more and more is if CATIA V5 macro programming skills are going to be applicable in CATIA V6? My answer is the majority of the macros you write in V5 will not be able to be used in V6 as is. Will programming knowledge in CATIA v5 translate to V6?
