About Change Action

You can open data under change (from web) in CATIA V5, perform your modifications, and save it under the opened Change Action.

The Change Action icon appears in the Status bar when you associate a Change Action to your CATIA V5 session. When you select a Change Action for an object, you can track the modifications performed on the object. You can view various objects that are associated with a Change Action under the Change Management app.

You can select only one Change Action per CATIA session.

Note: You must have CHG - Change management role to access the Change Action option.

You can perform the following authoring operations in the Change Action while working in a CATIA V5 session:

  • Insert
  • Delete
  • Replace
  • Reparent
  • Revise
  • New
  • Modify

Note: If Change Action has configurations, the supported authoring operations are also configured. As a result, instances may get duplicated with a different effectivity.
