    Help for Macros that "scanns" the CATdrawing sheet to get Part Number and Drawing sheet no.

    Yes, you have to add sheets to Selection one by one and perform search by color.

    Help for Macros that "scanns" the CATdrawing sheet to get Part Number and Drawing sheet no.

    A common approach to do it with VBA: 1. Enable color inheritance for drawing views 2. Color the part uniquely 3. Update views 4. Use Selection.Search to find generated geometry of the color chosen in step 2. In C++ you do it by retrieving CATIDftGenRequest from view that yields a set of...

    trigger catia

    Not possible with VB. There're no event APIs in CATIA automation. Document can be saved by numerous ways, it's not possible to monitor it reliably.

    Your titleblock text that displays scale should be linked with `Scale` parameter with attribute link. set sheet = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Sheets.ActiveSheet for each param in CATIA.ActiveDocument.Parameters.SubList(sheet, True) if InStrRev(param.Name, "ViewMakeUp.1\Scale") > 0 then set...

    Graph Tree Reorder in Product/Assembly

    CATIDescendants::ChangePosition works fine with features inside CATPart, but not with products inside CATProduct. There's a specific interface for reordering products, unfortunately it's not a part of CAA client's installation. Another option is to automate reodering via "Reorder Tree" command...

    Macro to search a part in DESK window of Catia

    I'm going to elaborate on what I meant: 1. Write macro that would search for parts in currently opened assembly and copy them them to a temporary assembly. 2. Run that macro, close your original assembly. 3. Activate temporary assembly, run Desk command. 4. Select ALL parts and run CATDUA. 5...

    Macro to search a part in DESK window of Catia

    AFAIR Desk relationship tree is displayed relative from active document. So if you search for part in original assembly, open it in new window and run Desk command from there it should be easy to find this part as it is going to be located in the very left part of relationship tree. Similar...

    How to loop through already opened .CATDrawing files in catia v5 using vba

    Use LWolf's solution as it enumerates "opened" documents meaning the ones that have their own window. Although I'd adjusted "if" condition, because right now it matches ANY documents that have word "Drawing" in them (i.e. "AssemblyForDrawing.CATProduct") Sub CATMain() Dim win, doc...
