CATIA V5 Tutorial: How to Disable Hybrid Part Design
Many times we come across projects in which modeling of the CATPart is to be done only in Non-Hybrid mode. By default CATIA V5 enables ’Hybrid Design mode’. Accidentally if modeling is started in Hybrid mode, it is very hard to convert the CATPart into Non-Hybrid model. In complex model, it’s impossible to do so. It’s better to disable Hybrid Part Design mode for such projects.
1. Go to Tools—>Options
2. Select ‘Part Infrastructure’ from the list
3. Click on ‘Part Document’ tab
4. Uncheck “Enable hybrid design inside part bodies and bodies”. Check ‘Create a geometrical set’ in the list (refer image below).
5. Click OK
You are done. Now CATIA will start with Non-Hybrid mode during New Part Creation.
