Trouble making multi entity selection (Sketcher). While holding Ctrl key to select multiple elements in a sketch. Each additional selection is causing previous non constrained elements to move slightly as if I were moving via left click and drag. Even when I'm careful to get on and off the left...
I asked too early ... I found It. It's http://2htts.com/CATBlog/media/common/Catia%20V5%20Parameters%20and%20Formulas%20Tutorial.zip
Props go out to Solid7!
At one time I found a link to another CAT5 site that had a parameters tutorial on it. I've done the tutorial and wanted to revisit it for a refresher. The tutorial was authored by Solid 7 me thinks. Could someone point me in the right dirrection
When I prepare my style data for Developement I'll make curve dirrection always the same ei: start vertex always closest to origin maybe. Then next hood dirrection for copy is correct.
Well done gentlemen. Curve dirrection was a concern for me when Creating Power Copy of adaptive sweep. The Sketch was constrained tanget to intersect curve but result returned to wrong quadrant of tangency.. really weird and Frustrating.. At this time I'm not sure if curve dirrection really...
I'm being interviewed for a position today. One of key points of intrest is the POWER COPY command. I've researched here and some other places but Do not have a grasp on this. I've attempted to excute this function w/o much success. If some one could provide a brief over view/ requirements. It...
There's a sure fire work around. I would not consider this a best practice method but here ya go.
export you geometric set that you want in Drafter as an IGS file (save as). Rename that file with an .IG2 extension this will open in Catia drafting. Copy the newly opened veiw to the desired sheet...

Do you ever use the snap command (looks like joined 2 spheres)
To adjust component locations. This will move component locations instantly w/o constraint. Snap together planar faces, planes, vetex, point, axis, cs and combinations of many. Quick and easy. M8
Is anyone aware of a method to select continuous entities. Ie:portions of seperate surface edge boundries or trimmed wire entities. Similar to the autosearch in sketcher. Is there a way to autosearch construction entities?
If you edit the point file to reflect only the necsary fields.
Ie: XYZ and save as a .txt file you can import them as a point cloud in the Digitized shape editor. I've used this method in conjuntion with a CMM generated point file. There are some finer points to this but... Give it a whirl
Have you tried the fix together command that appears in the drop down toolbar under the "magical" auto constrain in sketcher? The icon looks just like the fix together command that appears in ASM. I'm not sure what version this option first appeared in but is present in r16.
This brings up an...
Thanks... I've gained some confidence in my understanding of the differences GS vs. OGS. I'm grasping the concepts. I'd like to futher my understanding and create an "in practice/practicle" example so I may better understand how/why this is useful. I'm leaning toward the benefits of a...
