What does CATIA V5 CATIA V6 mean?
Basically V6 is V5 with embedded integration to ematrix based data management. All modeling tasks are exactly same. (few new workbenches and some reordering, but all V5 stuff is more or less there in same way as in V5) This keeps learning curve as very low, it is actually rather easy to enter from user point of view.
