now I decide to execute two macros to complete the task...a little bit tiring but much easier since I don't need to care about the syntax of part,product,document...
and I create an icon of Module1, put it in the macro
CATIA.StartCommand("Module1")
everything goes well when I execute the...
thank you
actually it's a module, not macro, I think they are a little different
and I only need to deal with the CATProduct, so 'if...then...' is not necessary
in a specific part, I want to modify the points in a geometry set in it, by FindObjectByName function
by the way, I can't use select...
so you means that
Set oPart = oProduct.Search("Name='Part1',all")
is that right or..?
sorry I know little about the language
can you just give me an example or briefly explain how to use this function?
and, I really want to know why can't I type like "Set oPart =oProduct.Part" ?
but what's the point?
now I try to focus on just a part of a product, but catia shows that the line "Set oPart = oProduct.Part" is worng
I don't know if the code behind the line will be the cause of error,
I don't think so, thus I didn't post it here. does it matter?
anyway, I'll try to make...
hi,
I have problem coding the catvba below
Dim oDocument As Document
Set oDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim oProduct As Product
Set oProduct = oDocument.Product
Dim oPart As Part
Set oPart = oProduct.Part
Dim oPoint As Point
Set oPoint = oPart.FindObjectByName(Name)
so,how to fix this...
okay I'll clarify all things I want to do in my CATpart.
first, I import 3 sets of points to catia, then do splines of each set,
totally I have 3 point sets, 3 splines, but number of points is uncertain, maybe 35, 40...
so I think it is convenient to separate them into 3 geometry sets...
your explain is precisely, but I think I didn't clarify my problem
after I import the points, I need to create splines and then loft those splines,
sometimes I also have commands like scaling or rotate in it,
so, if I really create a new a spline, that means the whole part should be done...
If someone is willing to give it to me, that's fine, I could save much time.
but it's enough if I can get some useful tips here.
Some problems I can imagine, first, how to set name of new point,
second, how to make a spline based on a whole geometry set, so the spline can be made no matter how...
Hi,
I have seen the code above, it worked well, and thanks for the movie!
Now another problem I meet is that if I want to add or remove some points in the geometry set, how?
since not every set has same numbers of points.
Can I make it by the changes of the text file?
for example
I have 100...
Hi all,
I use GSD to import about 100 points from excel,
now I want to modify the coordinates of the points,
so I am thinking if I can associate the geometry set to a text or excel,
which means I can edit the coordinates by text or excel.
What I really need is modifying the coordinates(or...
uh...search what?
I know there's a function "thread/tap" in part design, but the worm shaft wasn't made by it, that is why the drawing shows like a 3D projection.
catia only changes a product into engineering form when it was made by the function in Drafting, I guess.
So, I wonder a way to...
