Afternoon all, I have been trying to import step files into catia, both direct and via the batch management, and am unable to open any of the files over 500,00kb, it seems to open or translate just a few pieces of the data. The data is coming from Illustrator in step format 203 version, but...

I am having an issue with an assembly created in relation to a datum model which is the first part added into the assembly and yet when the assembly is then inserted into another assembly also with the same datum part the two product is not lining up in X. The other parts which go into the...

Thanks Azrael, that is what I was starting to suspect. Do you know if Vismockup would open them?

How do you open a JT file on catia, the internet seesm to say so but cant work out how to do it. Can anyone help? Does it need a specific license, or should it be done through the utilities. Thanks

HG, thanks for that you solved the problem I was having, the cloud point data we have been supplied is causing me no end of problems as it is teh first time I have had to get involved with GOM data.

New machine just arrived and is booting up as I write this, very fancy shmancy, there is nothing like having new laptops to make you think you will work faster. Will let you all know how the install attempt goes

Is it possible to put 3D sketches onto 2D drawing borders? Am sure it must be possible as was available in V4, have tried all the options in drafting but can not see the option, may be we do not have the license although would have thought it is a fundamental requirement so would be in all...

Derek, Thanks for all the help yesterday, I think I will have a go at installing it on Vista, if it does not work straight away will just put XP 32 bit on it. One question I did have was if I run 64 OS and 32 catia, does that mean I can put in more than 4Gb of memory and use the majority of it...

Derek, I will have a look at the other forum, although suspect that it will work differently as the copies of catia that they were using in China installed completely differently. To be fair much more easily. Have had a chat with the company I am working for, am running one of their...

Dbezaire, Thanks for that the only downside to that is the auto project I am working on is R16, so all the machines are on 16, think we have one copy of 18 running on one of the desk tops, but is purely due to one of the tooling companies using 18. Am assuming from your post that 16 will then...

Have just ordered a new Dell M6440, from a shop as opposed to direct from Dell, saved almost a 1000, so worth it only down side is the machine comes with Vista as standard, so I have 2 options try and install catia over vista or delete Vista and install XP Pro, as on the old laptop. Firstly I...

Thanks Derek, although this is where I am actually at already the part has an associated mass linked to the material density, but is still not giving me a component mass when I analyse it. Mark

Does anyone have macros that will create a mass in the analyze BOM function, it seems bizarre that catia comes as a default without it but I can't seem to find any solution? Also has anyone a macro that will put the drawing number in correctly when doing drawings, taking it from the file name...

The cursor can be changed, it is done in windows using the the control panel mouse option, I seem to remember it being a big vague in use on catia though.

Derek, Thanks. Perhaps a stupid question but how do I start catia in admin mode, it's something I've never had to do before. Regards, Mark

Is it possible to det the default text dimension size? It appears in the standards but seems to be un-editable, can anyone tell me how I can modify the size from 3.5 to 2.5?

Am not sure how you post the files up here but I am looking at 2 parts, assembled as a product, all constrained within the component. I have then fixed the one part with clamp, applied a contact connection property to the relative constraint, but only one, this is allowing the part to move on...

The problem I am having is I keep getting a factorised matrix computation. singularity detected ( relative pivot too small ), now I assume this is because in some way I have missed a restraint, and yet to me it looks restrained. It is a two part assembly.

Has anyone come accross some training material, which they would be happy to pass on for the analysis software to self train, have had a brief look at the package on a demo and it looks that although it migh be designer useful it might be a nightmare to use.
