Some users have reported high GPU usage when moving large assemblies in R33, which can often be fixed by updating NVIDIA Quadro drivers or checking setting redirections from older versions.
In R33, when you perform step 5, a non-intrusive pop-up appears on the bottom-right, showing: catia v5 r33 link

Released officially as , this iteration focuses on improving 3D master workflows, optimizing drafting capabilities, and enhancing user efficiency through better annotation control and assembly management. Key improvements in V5R33 include: | | Moving folders | Absolute path changes
CATIA V5 R33 offers a wealth of features and tools, including:
The system is not a bug or a nuisance—it is the very fabric of associative design. When used correctly, links enable parametric, adaptive assemblies that save thousands of engineering hours. When used carelessly, they cause update failures, corrupted data, and late-night panic emails.
