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.
