    Help flatting this model

    I simply just edited the sketch and added the missing tangency constraints. The lines seemed almost tangent, but not tangent enough for Catia [hairpull]

    Help flatting this model

    I rarely use the hopper command, as it's a bit unstable if I do changes up or down the tree, so maybe if you can, you probably should try to fix the geometry first to have constant thickness and use the "recognize". Sebastien

    Help flatting this model

    In the generative sheet-metal design workbench, I did it with a hopper, as the "recognized" command was complaining about thickness not being constant on the part (there is at least one panel with a different thickness). First extract the surfaces with tangent continuous (at first also correct a...

    How to select many line at one time to hide in a drawings ?

    I would love to use the "free hand selection trap", but how to you get it to show up with the "hide/show" command ? Fernando, overload properties is not good for me, and also I don't think that changing the color in 3D is helping much. To try to explain a bit more, I have a drawing of a big...

    How to select many line at one time to hide in a drawings ?

    Hello ! This seems pretty simple, I want in a drawing to select at the same time many lines to be hidden to get "cleaner" views. At the moment, I can only do it by "multi-selecting" the lines by drawing a box with the mouse where the lines are completly in. In most cases, this is not good...

    .catdrawing background

    It could be coming from the standard (although I'm really puzzled of why would anyone define this color as sheet color). You could try to see if you can change it. Do like this: On the "sheet" -> properties -> more -> standards. There is the sheet color defined under the "standard" -...

    OBTAIN SAME SURFACE COLOR IN DRAFTING

    It took me a while to understand the "caps lock" thingy, but now I just can't stop laughing... :DDDD All in all, nice tip, thanks !

    How to add color to palette that is permanent?

    I don't know about the .xml file, but the custom colors are defined in the file: CColors.CATSettings. I don't know how your system is configured, but it's the file you should have (and keep safe) in your "local settings" folder (i.e. c:\documents and settings\yourusername\application...

    License price

    From what I understood, the licenses are only like "rented", thus the 2 years validity. If you want to use them more than 2 years, and not buy them all over again, you have to pay for maintenance fees, and after 2 years, they send a new license. But I also heard (it might be wrong information..)...

    Catia V6

    I was at the ECF, and actually the GUI in Catia is not that different. The biggest difference from what I understood is that you have to work with a database. You can't have catia only with "windows" files (there was no "file" tree in the interface, so no "file - save", or "file - open").

    Enovia Portal, hide/show elements

    I don't know this "Enovia portal" product, but if it's the same logic as other Dassault products, is there a button that would do the same as catia's "swap visible space" (it swaps between the items shown and the hidden space) ?

    Catia V5 R18 appears to be a lemon

    Haven anyone here seen a weird behavior about color of parts in old assemblies. In R18 SP4, when loading old assemblies (made in R17), some parts are displayed in black. By default, we have the parts with "no" color assigned here (the default grey). We couldn't quite find a reason for it, it...

    "read only" catproducts ?????

    Have you tried to change the rights on the file (***.catproduct) in windows to "Read&write" ?

    pptables

    I don't know anything about pptable, but in CATscript, it's one of those to get the username: CATIA.SystemService.Environ("LOGNAME") CATIA.SystemService.Environ("USERNAME") Maybe it helps you, maybe not.

    What is the error message ? Rarely it helps, but it's good to know...

    3D XML

    What error does it say ? If you upgraded Catia lately, you also have to upgrade the 3dxml viewer. You can also try to have a look "inside" the 3dxml file by renaming it with a ".zip" extension at the end of the file, so it will open with winzip. Me, I had (or still have, I have to check every...

    User pattern in R17 SP5 broken ?

    Well, no need to answer this, or actually I can now confirm it. Yes, the user pattern in generative sheet-metal is broken in R17 SP5, than anchor point has no influence. But it's working again properly in SP6. Too bad it takes time for us to get SP6...

    User pattern in R17 SP5 broken ?

    Hello, I'm asking here because I've been loosing my nerve for some time now on user pattern in generative sheet-metal. It seems to me that the anchor point is no longer taken into consideration for the user pattern. At first, Catia uses the center of gravity of the element to define the...

    CUSTOMIZED COMMANDS

    Here, we have the catsettings files on the server and copy them to the clients when the user want to start Catia with "standard settings" ("our" own company standard, not DS). you might want to try to copy the following files: FrameGeneral.CATSettings FrameConfig.CATSettings...

    3DXML with R17 ?

    Oh yes, Peter, you're the man ! Star for you ! There was no problem with the names of the Catia parts, but in the zip (that's the trick of the day), I could find something weird: a file named xxxx_rendering.3DRep with a path. I deleted this file, renamed the zip to 3Dxml, and then it opens ...
