ok, thank you!

it was just a video driver issue with the 6.x.x versions of Horizon View.

I tested by uninstalling the svga driver only from manage pc.

Catia worked great.

Then I downloaded vmware tools 10.0.5 which had the fixed drivers and installed those.

8.1.5.3.3 driver fixes video driver issues with versions of 6.x.x Horizon view.
