Working with Documents
It is important for you to understand how to work with the documents and especially how to
save them in order to be productive using CATIA Version 5.
Creating a new document
This allows you to start a new document. For this class you will normally start a Part
document. This does not close any documents that are already opened, it only creates a new
window with the document.
Select the new icon in the bottom toolbar. This allows you to create a new
document. The document that will be created depends on the selection you make, either an
analysis, drawing, part, product or other. You see that there are many different types of
documents that you can create in CATIA.

Opening an existing document
This allows you to open a document that has been previously saved. This does not close any
documents that are already opened, it only opens a new window with the document.
Select the open icon in the bottom toolbar. This allows you to open an existing
document. A File Selection window should appear.
This allows you to specify the folder that you want to look in and then specify the file or
document that you want to open.
Find the document that you want to open and select it. You can either open a document
by selecting it and then selecting Open or you can just double-click on the file and it will
automatically open. This step assumes that you just selected the file not
double-clicked on it. The name of the document Should Appear in the File name box.
Select Open. Should this open the document.
