    Assembly loosing links?

    If for the age old bad house keeping reason you need to move an assembly into a different folder is there a simple way you can point all the files at one folder to find their original links or do you have to go through file by file re-attaching them?

    Closing volume as per V4

    Ok part is healed, and seemed to heal fine giving me not problems, but am still getting the following message: Close operator: an opening in the selected body cannot be closed by one single planar face. Modify the part. And yet when I create a face to close the part it would appear that it is...

    Closing volume as per V4

    Have tried that route and am getting errors or gaps in the surface, but it has come out of ALIAS, so would assume that these are pretty much perfect a class surfaces.

    Closing volume as per V4

    Ladies and Gents, Have frustrated myself half to death today trying to close a volume ( as it would have been in V4 ). How do you create a solid from surface data, from Alias in this case, so that I can do boolean operations on it. It is a sym op component with an open lower face, so have...

    Data level reduction

    I am currently modelling in R14 and have been asked to drop the data level back to R13, can this only be done through the utility or is there a simpler less laborious route?

    Colour select in V5

    For all those ex-V4 people out there is there a way to select all bodies or open body data of a set colour? As there was in V4, have a mass of surfaces in show all coloured to a grouping format and want to be able to hide all but one colour, does anyone have any ideas?

    Simple folder creation for a VB simpleton

    We have a generic folder structure which we use for all new projects we start, each new project gets a project number from an excel sheet and currently the individual has to then create the folder, to the same number and then copy the folders from the generic structure into the newly created...

    CATIA V4 Kinematics Sheet

    Morning Jackk Have tried all the people I thought would have one. It was two additional sheets which were given me when I did my orginal CATIA V4 training with BAe, through I believe INCAT, but am not 100% sure, about 10 yrs ago. The sheet had examples of all the kinematic joints in picture...

    CATIA V4 Kinematics Sheet

    When learning Kinematics in Version 4 I was given a joints crib sheet which like all other useful support documents has been borrowed and never returned. It was two pages which detailed all of the joints which could be achieved in V4 kinematics, I have a customer who is tring to break his...

    Drawing view surrounds

    CATIA default seems to have blue dashed drawing borders, whilst I have discovered how to turn these off prior to creating the view, in layout with view frame, as far as I can see they can not be hidden once the view is created and if they are switched off prior to view creation then the view can...

    Title Block?

    There is one in the online docs which autofits, if you view the file in wordpad then it is very easy to edit and insert your own comments / terms in, also if required images can be added. Make sure in drawing options that you point the link to the correct place.

    3d solid sweep

    You are 100% correct. It was due to the fact that the profile had a gap in it. Have almost got it sorted. Be perfect for an easy start tomorrow morning. Thanks very much for your assistance.

    3d solid sweep

    Rib seems to want two sketch'd components therefore the 3d flange is non selectable This is the same case for lofts where the base edge I wish to sweep the solid around is non planar. I am sure there must be a way to do it as they could on V4, am sure I have just missed a funtion / option...
