    Measuring in assembly mode

    Boy do I feel stupid... that was obvious! Thanks so much!

    Measuring in assembly mode

    Assembly mode, product, whatever it is called. I'm a Pro/E user learning CATIA so still using Pro/E terms. When I make a measurement, I have the option to get "components" which means I'm projecting the measurement onto a coordinate system. This coordinate system appears to be the same one...

    What compares to Pro/E's ISDX?

    Hi, I am learning V5 after years on Pro/E. About 1 year ago I learned how to use Pro/E's new surfacing package "ISDX". I was amazed at how powerful it is. You can create any simple surface you want from 4 intersecting boundary curves, and you can specify tangency of the resultant surface...

    Multi-section surface, area control

    Peter, the two end sections are similar, one is a circle and the other is a sort of rounded trapezoid. They have the same number of sections. I like having the option to specify 1 or 2 sections in the middle (MSS) but not of being forced to specify all middle sections, it would be impossible...

    Multi-section surface, area control

    Nev's solution sort of solves my problem, but not exactly in the way I was looking for. I wanted to use multi-section surface, which allows for intermediate sections (my section is much more complex than a circle). But MSS does not have a "use law" option. So somebody suggested I created...

    Multi-section surface, area control

    I agree Nev, post ideas here too please, if possible. Jackk, I haven't received any emails yet but I'll post my findings here, no matter what happens.

    Neville, Address is matt.b.hoover AT lmco DOT com. I can't upload anything here because of sensitive nature of model. Thanks!

    Multi-section surface, area control

    I feared this. Creating sections along the way would be very difficult. The shape is complex and it would be hard to define each cross-sectional profile (not to mention keeping the segment # the same as the end sections). Any possible way to do it using "laws" or "formulas"? I haven't quite...

    Multi-section surface, area control

    I'm learning CATIA V5 after years using Pro/E. As a test for myself, I'm trying to re-create one of my toughest Pro/E designs in CATIA. In Pro/E there is a feature called "swept blend" which is a blend (with as many intermediate sections as you need) swept along a center curve. The analog of...
