    Finding parent reused pattern for the part

    Hi, I am using reuse pattern in the assembly and gathered option. Sometimes, we need to update the old models which are not using gathered option. If constraints are missing and some of the nuts and washers are collapsed, we need to find the parent pattern for that part to correct the...

    Activate command line window while in sub tree

    Hi Eric, For time being, I have found a work around by using HOTKEYZ. I have created the hotkeys for component constraints and degrees of freedom. It is working fine now by selecting the product in other selection. [RBUTTON][PAUSE][DOWN][DOWN][DOWN][DOWN][DOWN][DOWN][DOWN][ENTER][M] But, I...

    Activate command line window while in sub tree

    Hi Eric, Thanks for the reply. I am using ‘CC’ as user alias for component constraints. If I directly use this ‘CC’ by just selecting any surface or edge, it will go to the first part level and give the related constraints only. For example, in my main assembly, if I have a product in first...

    Activate command line window while in sub tree

    Hi, When working in the main window in assembly design work bench, if type any command that will directly activate the command line window. But, if we open any ‘sub-tree’ or ‘other selections’ window and type command, command line window is not activated. To give the command, first we need to...

    Set command line window as no case sensitive

    Hi, Is it possible to customize the command line window as ‘no case sensitive’. I have given shortcuts to frequently used commands in capital letters. When working, we need to often work in lower case in outlook, excel and MS word documents. In the same mode and without awareness, if I give the...

    Assign space bar as enter by sendKeys in vba script

    Hi, I am using both AutoCAD and CATIA. I am trying to work the same way in CATIA as AutoCAD by giving commands through key board instead of using mouse. I have customized the commands by user alias. My problem is when I give command in AutoCAD, after enter the command, I pressed the space bar...

    Use selective instance in reuse pattern

    Hi Sachin, You have shown the dialogue box for pattern creation in part design work bench. My requirement is reusing the pattern already available in smart team ( i.e. read only) to replicate the parts in assembly work bench. My understanding is we cannot edit the pattern or on/off the orange...

    Loading problem of product in the assembly

    Hi, When I open a particular assembly, some of the products shows that some children are missing. But, that files are available in the folder. When open that products individually, that children are viewable. So, to correct the problem in main assembly, I opened the product first and then open...

    Use selective instance in reuse pattern

    Hi, I need to reuse the bolts in an assembly which has circular pattern. That pattern has 8 holes. But, I need 4 holes alternatively. Is it possible to use the reuse pattern for selective instance. Kindly give any idea. Time being, I constrained all bolts and nuts individually in 4 instances. Suresh

    Lock view location

    Hi I have created a top view from front view. Then, removed the location link by view positioning, position independently of reference view. Then, moved to new location and align that view to other view by ‘align views by using elements’. Now, I want to lock that location of the view at that...

    Copy reused patterns along with constraints

    Hi kevin, If we do like that, that entire product will go inside my assembly. Then, the structure will be one parent assembly, then again one parent assembly, then more than 200 children parts. But, for me, the reference assembly should replace the target assembly so that only one parent...

    Insert reference drawing & model in exisitng drawing by check out

    Hi, Usually, to create a new drawing number in Smart team, 1. we are using ‘save management’ from reference drawing. 2. Save that file in new number. Now, I am facing different problem. Drawing is already available in smart team in version 2.0. and we have submitted that drawing to the...

    Copy reused patterns along with constraints

    Hi, Today, I need to copy the entire product into another assembly. I copied all the children along with the constraints by enabling constraint copy through OPTIONS. But, reused patterns didn’t copy from that product. So, I was needed to work again on patterns. Is there any setting available in...

    Dimension text location while rerouting command

    Hi, I got an idea by search method as below. Search > all dimensions > set over run of all extension line 1 as zero > reroute all the required dimensions > at last repeat the same and set default. By this way, I can easily find out the first extension line and select the same while rerouting and...

    Enable snap table boundary line

    Hi, Is it possible to enable snap on the lines of the table. In my case, I want to align the revision table boundary line with the title block line. When I tried to take the snap of the particular line, whole table is getting selected. In AutoCAD, setting is available to snap the dimension lines...

    Select provious in model tree

    Hi, Is it possible to go to previous selection in model tree by shortcut or icon. When we are editing the constraints, we select the one constraint, for example a plane, we select a center graph to view it location in model tree. To come back to that constraint, we need to scroll back. If it is...
