Hey, first video tutorial... it's not great. This is in response to a question. I go through removing the current text fields (deleting them) and then the process of adding in new fields that reference properties for both the drawing and the model. This will help keep the meta data alive for project/database software like PDM.

In CATIA V5, graphic properties colors and materials are both used to control the visual appearance of a model. However, they have different purposes and effects. * *Graphic properties colors** are used to control the color of the lines, surfaces, and other graphical elements of a model. They can be applied to individual features or to the entire model. * *Materials** are used to control the appearance of the surfaces of a model, including their color, shininess, and transparency. They can be applied to individual features or to the entire model.
