Comments

• THE SUBMITTED SCENARIO WORKS AS PER DESIGN
  Additional Closure Information:
  The user export a cgm file with the capture functionality
  leading to capture the grid seen in the capture window and
  the circle (c.f. the preview window of the capture, the grid
  is present).
  Explanations :
  When the user import the cgm, it imports all the elements
  present in the preview (the grid and the circle) from the
  origin of his new sheet. It's very unlikely that the lines of
  the grid will correspond to the grid of the new
  sheet/drawing, due to the fact that a capture is made on a
  window not on the paper format of the drawing.
  Documentation:
  Manual Reference:CATIA version 5 / Infrastructure/ Opening 2D
  Graphics Formats & Capturing Simple Images
  Solution :
  To export in paper format, without the grid, the user can use
  :
  1- Save As functionality and select CGM format as export
  format
  or
  2- print to file functionality.
