Dear colleagues,
The last evening 12th of August 2025, we have released the version 5.0.4 of our PLM platform.
The main new features of this release are:
A new version of the CATIA Connector has been deployed (17.1.13), which is improving performance/stability concerning the very large assemblies usage in CATIA.
In addition, on top of the 3 current default settings, you will find a new default setting on the opening of CATIA from the PLM Desktop called Large Assembly - Beta.
What does it change compared to the current Large Assembly setting?
- Improves the stability of the opening and saving of very large assemblies
- The Qchecker functionality is not available.
Note: In line with the stability improvement, an empty CATProduct will now temporarily open when CATIA launches, triggering the Assembly Workbench and resulting in more consistent CATIA behavior.
For more details about the main characteristic of the default settings, please check the related How To.
The full release notes are available here.
Important:
After the deployment of the PLM, you may receive a message prompting you to refresh the page.
This action is necessary to use the updated PLM, please do not delay it.
