Hey guys, I'm new with fixing warped parts and adding windage. I've been given a part and the coordinates for each point on the top surface that deviated from the original model. All deviations/warpage is in the Z-axis. The previous designer has already added as many ribs as they can to...

I have Catia V5. I activated Components in both 3D and the Panel, but I'm unsure of what to do from here. How do I select the direction/vector I want as "vertical"?

Hey guys, new here in the forums. Though I'm new to CATIA, I do have experience in NX9. So my question is: how would I measure just the vertical distance between two features/points? Whenever I try to take a measurement, it gives me the diagonal distance. I know in NX9, there is a tool called...

Hey guys, thanks for the help! John, changing the tolerance and end distance fixed the problem, thank you! Also, one more question: is it ideal to simply change the tolerance for a problem such as this? I feel like its a simple shortcut around the problem. Nonetheless, thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply John! I actually figured it out. I used Menu > Edit > Align > Best Fit or Point Set to Point Set to align the text and symbols with the part. And then I used Project Curve to project them onto the surface of said part. Anyways, I ran into another problem. I'm trying to use...

I also forgot to ask, how would I apply a text for engraving onto a curved surface? I'm having difficulty keeping the text perfectly aligned with the surface.

Hi guys, I'm trying to paste a circular symbol onto an angled face/surface. The symbol came from a different part, so its position is way off. How would I move it directly onto the face I want? Thanks for any help in advance!

Also when I try pasting, I get a non-connex error. I assume its because of the text I'm using. How can I create an outline for my text so I can close gaps?

I have created the 3D text by making drawing and saving as a .dxf file and then copy/pasting that into my model. I have a pipe that I would like to print text on, possibly using the pocket tool. How can I put the text on to the curved surface of my cylinder? I tried pasting the text onto a...

Hey guys, I'm trying to replace the texture of B&W Tiling material with an Image using a Cubical Mapping. This will allow me to trace a drawing and thereby create a 3D model of it. My problem is that I can't flip the Image within the texture. I've boxed the properties I'm referring to in the...

Thanks for any help, in advance.

Hi guys, I'm new to Catia and I'm trying to create a plane normal to a curve. But this error keeps appearing: What am I doing wrong and how would I fix this?

Thanks for the advice guys! Really helped!

Alright, so I have this project that requires me to input coordinates for the location of specific circles in a sketch on the XY plane. After finishing the sketch and saving my CATPart, everything is fine and works properly. Then after loading the CATpart again and starting a new sketch on the...

Thanks lardman363! I already made a geometrical set, so I guess the surface was just non planar.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Catia V5 and I am currently working on a pre-made assembly CATProduct file. I'm trying to create a plane using Plane Definition > Offset from plane. Once the face I want to offset from is selected, I click on the Plane icon to open up the Plane Definition. I then...
