    CATIA V5 Tree Hide/Show Command

    Thanks itsmyjob! I knew about this setting, but for some reason, I was convinced that it controlled the movement of the tree. Thanks for the assistance!

    CATIA V5 Tree Hide/Show Command

    Hey guys, I've been looking on the net for a few hours now and can't seem to find the right solution to my problem. I'm experiencing a strange issue with CATIA V5 and the Hide/Show command. Whenever I hide/show any feature, it doesn't show up as hidden on my tree. The feature toggles from...

    Failed to check License in lum

    On the window where you choose licenses, click on the "Active Server:" button. This should match the network and port # your License Server Administration Tool is on. If not, you're missing a .txt file in your root folder.

    Views on assembly

    Maybe define work object at each part level? I'm not 100% sure.

    Count Parameter

    Yeah, I was going to suggest using the BOM feature to count everything. I don't really like the BOM feature in CATIA though... @djmjr I don't have a good answer for you at the moment. I'm working on a small piece of code for you but can't figure out one thing... I'll post anyway as it might...

    Count Parameter

    No attachment. Also, I don't think a parameter will work the way you're intending it to. Might have to use macro instead... I'm not an expert though, someone chime in and give us some knowledge. If you choose to go macro, you're going to get the For Next loop from 1 to the total number of...

    Count Parameter

    Should just be a simple For Next loop that searches for given part name and adds 1 every time it encounters it. Then you can assign the value of the desired name and input into a text box or whatever. Can't think of the code off the top of my head, but I'll see if I can get an example for you.

    Thoughts on an idea for a CatiaV5 save file macro?

    We use something similar to your idea at our shop. All of our non-standard components have a "#" in the front. Our renaming macro then searches all parts for "#", then adds in the job number in front of it. This macro has been in the company for a while, so I don't know the specifics. I can...

    Breaking link/extract with VBA

    @ferdo I've tried it on many different work examples, and seems to be fine now. I will be tweaking the code later on to optimize it. Any specific lines that you see causing issues?

    Breaking link/extract with VBA

    Got the macro working now I believe... So far it is allowing me to create extracts regardless of their naming (the issue I was encountering before). Here is the code... 'Macro for creation of "Old Revision" references - Written by: P. Kim...

    Breaking link/extract with VBA

    Ahh okay, I will just replace the whole line with something else. Will update when I get it working. Thanks again ferdo!

    Breaking link/extract with VBA

    To be honest, I have no idea what that parameter is trying to say to me... I got this off "Record Macro". Would I replace the (Pad.1;1) with some variable that is set to the first face in my selected body? Just unfamiliar with the syntax. Cheers, EDIT: If you could actually explain that whole...

    Breaking link/extract with VBA

    Thank you everyone for your help. I was able to revise the code to get it to work for my needs. Here is the code for anyone else that wishes to accomplish something similar. Sub CATMain() Dim partDocument1 Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument Dim part1 Set part1 = partDocument1.Part...
