    Propeller

    911turbowing, When you try to use the Circular Pattern function, use the BODY as the object to pattern, not a specific feature like a pad or fillet or chamfer. This is important. If you make your propeller blade with Fillets or Chamfers on it, they will be included in the replication because...

    Propeller

    Puck, allow me to answer this one ... 911turbowing, you don't make the shaft and the blade into one part until you have created the other blades. Use Define in Work Object for the body with the blade in it. Perform a Circular Pattern with the body as the Object to Pattern. You can do a...

    Representing rivets in aerospace

    Hi, All. This should open up a can of worms. For you aerospace guys (others may respond as well, but this is more of an industry issue), how do you normally represent rivets? The way I see it, we have several options: a) Show only the point b) Show only the centerline c) Show only the...

    3D named view orientation - changed

    stickybunn, Sorry to hear about your issue. Following my instructions, the people in my company have had no issue. The X direction runs left to right. You might want to try again with those vectors? Just experiment to see if you can get a different orientation, even though it is incorrect...

    3D named view orientation - changed

    stickybunn, I work in the aerospace industry and what Dassault did makes no sense to me either. There is what I was able to do. Go to the View pull-down menu and click on Named Views. Select *iso in the list and click on the Apply button. Your Compass will rotate to that whacked view. Now...

    Design table driving part instances

    friedrich, If you are up to speed on PowerCopy and Catalogs, this is the route you might want to take. I would make a PowerCopy of the part and place it in a catalog. In the catalog, you can resolve the part families, which will give you a part document for each configuration. Then, you...

    Making a fixed-size screen grab

    AXXX, I have done what you mention, but to no avail. I believe I will literally need a step-by-step after you change the size, because I have never had success in this area. Thanks.

    Making a fixed-size screen grab

    AXXX, I have done things like you suggested before. What I'd like to do is specify the size of the capture, like 2" x 2" or 400 x 300 pixels. I'd rather do things this way than have to keep going to other graphics programs and cropping my images, which I have been doing. I use Capture and...

    Making a fixed-size screen grab

    Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible in V5 to make a fixed-size screen grab? I have been up and down the Tools > Image > Capture and can't seem to get anything to happen. Thanks.

    For/Next Loop

    Hi, Anyone here know if it is possible to create a FOR/NEXT statement in a KWA Rule? If not, where is it possible? Thanks. Archangel

    Design Table Parameter Formula

    CSrac, There is two ways I have typically handled this situation. One is make a new column in my Excel spreadsheet and perform my operation there. For instance, you could make a column LARGE RADIUS A (in) and have all the values in that column equal to the Diameter A/2. Then you could...

    Lock toolbars?

    I have locked the position of the toolbars in v5r10 and it will still take some of my toolbars and throw them off-screen. I have to unlock the toolbar position ever time I start up v5 and reposition some of my toolbars. This is VERY annoying.

    Cache CATIA v5 application data for faster startup

    Turned off the "load extended language libraries" option but have not seen any significant improvements on restart. Is there anyhing else I can do? Thanks, Stefan.

    Cache CATIA v5 application data for faster startup

    I checked the Digest out and there was nothing I could find on caching the v5 program. I used the CATNoStartDocument and a few other goodies as well. Catia now loads up well without the splash window, the background,nodelock messages, or the no product at startup. That's great. Now, if I...

    Cache CATIA v5 application data for faster startup

    Thank you. I will check out the Digest and, should I have more questions, come back with them.

    Cache CATIA v5 application data for faster startup

    I was under the impression that Tools + Options + Infrastructure + Cache Management was for the caching of CGRs and not for the actual Catia v5 application. Am I wrong? I am looking for the ability to start Catia quickly after it is shutdown the first time. Let me know if I have your post...

    Cache CATIA v5 application data for faster startup

    Is it possible to cache the Catia v5 application data so that when you shut down Catia and start it up again, it loads up faster? I understand some people have been successful at this and that it takes only 10 seconds to load it up the second time. Please not that I am not refering to .cgr...

    whitlabell, You have been most helpful. Yes, I would love to have some of the screenshots of your assemblies that you mentioned. Please email them to me at kpatterson@sikorsky.com. We work with large assemblies, too, and I find this all very beneficial.
