Good Morning, We use delete useless elements quite a lot to clean up our parts. Sometimes we have geometry in our parts to help with assembly constraints. Like suspension pick up points for instance. We will often drop these into our model parts as dumb geometry. When we delete useless...

A have a couple of drafting questions, hopefully somebody can shed some light; 1. I have just discovered that if you create a hole dimension table, it is not linked, so if the part is updated the table is not (very dangerous). Is there a way around this? 2. When using the "Cumulated...

When you enter into a enhanced scene, you are given 2 options, partial and full. Sounds like you have selected full (this locks the scenes as soon as you have created them). Partial mode updates as the assembly does, I think.....

V5R17 works as long as you have Vista SP1 installed. Hope this helps!

I recently switched, and share you frustrations with the lack of equal constraint. There is not one in sketch mode (as far as I am aware). I think there is a way to do it with formulas, but I have never tried it. 2. Can I "convert" a line from a previous sketch (or a edge of a previous solid)...

I am by no means an expert, but here is my reasoning I use the Catia drawing template macros to create my drawing border. I have then modified this to my companies needs (added a tolerance block etc). Because I am using the macro, it pulls all the information in from the drawing, so the...

PeterGuy, That tells me how to crop it, position it etc. Could you tell me the code for inserting it in the first place?

Thanks, Yes I insert the image at the moment, but I then have to manually place the image. I am trying to automate it all! Can you give me any more information on writing a script? Will this enable me to place the image at a certain position on the drawing template?

Hello, I have modified one of the catia frame and title blocks, but I would like to link a jpeg of our logo, and have it inserted in a specific place when I create my border. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, MechMan

Thanks for the help guys. I find it very strange that in a £2k package like Solidworks this comes as standard, but in a £20k package like Catia you have to use a workaround. Not good.

Hello All, I am trying to write some text on a part in part design. We have a plastic housing, which we get laser etched, and I want this to be on the model as well. Is there any way of doing this (I am really hoping for a insert text option somewhere)? I don’t really want to have to draw...

Thanks mymylepire Sorted it. I had this in my text document; ThreadDiam. Pitch HoleDiam. M NO_DESC_IN_DRAFTING As soon as I removed the M, it sorted the issue. Cheers

I am currently drafting some special threads on a part. In part design I have created a text document specifying the thread names (Thread Description), and specification (pitch etc). I have then applied the thread to the part (Thread/Tap Definition). However, when I come to detail the...

Simple question, hopefully! When using the feature recognition command, is there a way to select all of the part, and get Catia to build the tree from it? At the moment I have to select every surface for it to work. Thanks

Hopefully a simple question. I have downloaded the SES title block, and edited it to include our company’s information. However the titleblock is ANSI, not ISO. So when I insert the titleblock it’s the wrong size. Is there an easy way to edit the titleblock so it will auto fit ISO paper...

Thanks for all the suggestions. None of them work! I am beginning to think I have an instillation problem. I had real issues getting into admin mode for the first time; even the Catia support engineer could not work it out. It turned out it got sorted with a re-boot! Right, I am defiantly...

Firstly, I apologise as I am sure this will have been covered before. But the search function is down at the moment. I am in the drafting workbench; here is what I would like to do, I want extra zeros to be displayed as defult. If a dimension is modeled as 3.41, then it will display 3.41...

Morning, Apologies if this has already been asked, or is a commonly asked question. I am a new Catia user, having been on Solidworks. Solidworks comes with a feature called Feature Works, if you import a .step file for instance, you can run this module, and it will build a model tree for you...

Afternoon, Can anybody give the name of a UK supplier of Catia? I am trying to get a quote, and finding it surprisingly difficult to track down a supplier. Many Thanks

THAN YOU VERY MUCH
