    FT&A Annotations/Dimensions Black

    In Catia V5, I have a basic assy with a part, which shows all black annotation in an MBD view. If I send the part to open in a new window, it shows white, as it should. It may be a dumb question, but what is causing this? Thanks in advance.

    Catia V5 MBD - Selecting Large Number of Same Size Holes

    I am working solid models in Catia V5, which will be dimensioned by Model Based Definition (MBD). In the “Functional Tolerancing and Annotation” function of Catia, I’ll select all holes of the size to be dimensioned to highlight when dimension is selected. No problem when a few holes. I...

    Airflow over Cooling Fins Question

    I'm needing to provide some airflow over a electrical box for cooling. Planning to build panels around the box and have electric fans provide a contant airflow thru the fins. Question is, is there a general rule of thumb for how close the walls of the plenum can be to the fins for optimum...

    Dumb Creo Question about Representations

    Long time NX/UG user, new to Creo. In an assembly, If I set a component to "exclude", what does it actually do? What I understand is it sort of "closes" or suppresses it where it isn't visible or uses any memory or resources of the computer. If I exclude a part and then save the assembly, it...

    Creating Sketches off imported models

    Long time NX user here trying to get up to speed on Creo 2.0 If I step in a model, it is easy to generate a sketches from the model and then create a new solid? I know it depends on the complexity of the part, but I guess what I'm asking, does Creo have a reasonable process for doing this and...

    Creo Training

    I've been on UG since 1994, so its become second nature to me. Many things in Creo are so backwards and tedious. I took a quick look at the links posted and looks like plenty to keep me busy. Thanks.

    Creo Training

    I've been a Unigraphics/NX user for many years and I'm currently having to transition to using Creo. I've been on Creo a few weeks and I'm still having a hard time getting up to speed. It seems to be harder to unlearn what I know from NX than it would be to learn Creo first. My work won't...

    Shim Washers

    Looking for aerospace quality shim washers for an application similar to a double shear joint, like a clevis lug connection. Anyone happen to know of any NAS... MS... spec which has a selection of CRES, maybe A286 washers? Looking for some to work with a shoulder bolt. Thanks

    NAS1351 Withou Washers

    That reduced OD washer is what I need and seems like the best solution. Thanks

    NAS1351 Withou Washers

    I always use washers, but I have a case where I’m boxed in with a certain bolt pattern I can’t change and positioning that is putting the hole right next to a boss. There is no room for a washer. I know I would have to worry about galling, but this is a one time installation. Also I know I...

    NAS1351 Withou Washers

    It is acceptable to install socket head bolts like NAS1351 without washers for an aerospace type of application? Its bolted into A286. Thanks
