Hi, @drodrig, Have you replaced your mouse yet? If so what did you end up with? If not, this is what I am thinking: I'm also in the market for a new mouse. I've gone through a couple this year because the company refuses to buy decent mice. So either I use the mini hand-cramping wireless ones...

Awesome. The JT2Go program shows the cgm file as multiple sheets. It seems that Catia does output a multi-page cgm file just fine even if it can't open them. The suggested program works great, thanks Tikito

thread560-104913 Hello! So far my morning is not going well... Our customer is requiring us to send them our main assembly 2d drawing as a single CGM file. It has 4 sheets. I can save them all individually, but I cannot figure out how to save them as one multipage file. I've tried to change...

I think if we try to use a 70-hole hole pattern as a datum, it might give some suppliers heart-attacks.

That is the answer I was looking for. It looks like that scheme would work for what we need to do.

Thanks for all the replies. Generally we do not treat the holes as a pattern. And they are attaching the cover to the tray. The engineers typically use the bottom of the pack as datum A and pick two holes as Datum B and C. They then dimension everything back to the main surface and two main...

I can't get CATIA to put the datum leader where it should go. Please take a look at the attached picture. The left side is what I am trying to get with the datum leader attached to the dimension. When I click on the dimension to place the leader it just goes to the edge of the circle (right...

This situation comes up a lot in our parts. Take a look at the attached picture. It is a cover that gets bolted down to the rest of the assembly by the four holes in the pattern. Basically, say we have 4 holes that are the same size. The engineer wants to use 1 of the holes as datum B and one...

You were exactly right. Thanks so much.

In our current template we have a revision table. The table is located at the top right of the main sheet, and also located on its own sheet, Table_Revision. When you double click on the main sheet table to edit the revision table, it brings you over to the Table_revision sheet and allows you...

Unfortunately we only have SW2010

So, sorry for the triple post, but I figured out the answer on my own. You guys are too slow. Successfully gusseted bracket: Final tool shape: I have also attached a copy of the tool part if anyone is...

Alright, so I think I have already improved upon it, but I'm still not quite there. Added fading radii But I still get some funky corners on the backside.

I am creating a custom forming tool. Here is the result. It sortof works, but not quite. Is this something that I need to fix in the forming tool, or how I am applying it?

Getting closer. Still not quite there yet. I have a piece of foam that is shown in its applied position and its flat pattern position. I saved a copy of the contoured part and made it flat, and named it ST-001350-FLAT.CATshape In the assembly I used manage representations to associate the...
