    Remove specific bodies from a pattern

    You idea/example would work if the "Body" I created only has a singular fin "Pad" feature in it. But since I have two fins (each with a slightly unique shape) in the same "body" when I run the pattern command it patterns both fins. So if I select the red dot, it would eliminate a set of fins...

    Remove specific bodies from a pattern

    In our parts we create fins for heat dissipation on radially rotating parts. I created a new body and inside this body are two pads that define the two fins (one is slightly shorter than the other). I then create a few other features to trim both fins or modify them (such as fillets, draft...

    Seeing Catia Model Build History

    I have used Catia off and on for some time now in a limited capacity, but am going to start working much more in the near future. So not a total newbie, but also not a seasoned expert. I have been a SolidWorks user for many years and realize (obviously) that they are not the same software...

    Runout on a flat surface in a stack

    True you are correct. I guess I am looking for both circular and total. We have instances where we see both in our drawings. Circular I believe is more widely used though. So we established total runout acts as a perpendicularity in stacks, what about circular?

    Runout on a flat surface in a stack

    Thanks for the reply. That was how I understand it as well (treat it just like perpendicularity). Every now and again you look at something an say....hmmm that just does look right.... Thanks for the input!

    Runout on a flat surface in a stack

    We have many instances where runout was used on a flat surface. The basic premise is the engineer at the time was attempting to control the "wobble" on that surface (basically perpendicularity)and back in the day TIR was the goto for prints. If given the choice I would write a request to...

    Question on laptop configuration

    I'd agree with GRF. XPS are not meant for hard core design. They are really gamer computers (to a degree). They can run SW but you'd be much better off looking at Precision laptops. They come at a premium but run much better. I can tell you I am running the following: Dell Precision 7510...
