V5 Graphics problem - part rolling around

ok, Im having trouble finding the words to describe this.

When I'm looking straight down on a surface that has holes that are normal to the surface, I can see the edges of the holes.

If I lock the view normal to the surface and slide it around I can see different edges of the surfaces. Its as if the part is rolling around me.

In the same session of Catia I dropped the part into a new product it started behaving normally.

I've attached a few pictures to try and better show what is happening.part.jpgboth.jpgtopright.jpgproduct.jpg
 
What you are describing (and have captured in the pictures) is the Perspective viewing mode. To change this, click on View in the top menu, choose the Render Style option and then choose Parallel on the bottom of the list.
