    Creating custom drafting symbols

    Looking for info on what icon code type I need to create for the drafting standard xml file. I want to create additional custom drafting symbols. Creating a catalog is not what I'm looking to do. I don't know what type of code is shown in the icon 16x16 or 22x22. Once I can identify it I can...

    CATIA Macro Menu and IDE freezing V5

    Looking for ideas as to why V5 would freeze after just trying to open the "Macros..." from the drop down menu. I.T. reinstalled VB on my laptop which allowed the macro gui and IDE to open, however, trying to point to a .catvba file would again freeze V5. Multiple known good files were tried.

    Converting text selection to uppercase

    Can someone point out what I've done wrong? The intent is to simply select a textbox and change all lowercase characters to uppercase. Private Sub CommandButton41_Click() On Error Resume Next If InStr(CATIA.ActiveDocument.Name, ".CATDrawing") < 1 Then MsgBox "Active file is not a CATDrawing!"...

    Weld Symbol properties

    I dug into my sheet standard .xml. There is a section for the field weld symbol, however, it only allows you to default it on or off when you initiate the weld command. Is it possible to add attributes in the XML to control its text height? If that's possible, it might give you what you want...

    Catia - Assembly loading issue

    Ive had a similar problem. I will be editing a sketch and all of a sudden, all the sketch geometry goes hidden. I've also had this happen with the solids in a catpart. The only way Ive found to get the solid/geometry to re-appear is to close the file and re-open it. I didn't experience the red...

    Graphic card problem in V5R20

    I've run into issues like this a lot over the years as my company upgrades or replaces hardware. Go to the Dassault website and find the list of certified drivers/equipment for CATIA. Using the newest driver isn't always the best idea...

    Sheet background View Locked

    My thought is since your trying to insert the 2D component in the background, you have a active or red view in the working views. catia is probably considering that active view as non-editable or locked since its not in the sheet background. double click the the top item in the tree until all...

    Reorder a Sketch in the Tree

    What do you mean by "but to make the User Pattern work, I need to move the sketch before the hole"? A user pattern is a transformation feature, it can't work unless the hole exists in the first place. I think you're trying to hatch a chicken before the egg has been extruded. It seems like you...

    Randomize surface colors in a CATPart

    You may want to explore a different search parameter. I think ,scr will only search what visible on your screen as you are viewing it. in other words, if you are zoomed in on one area, only that little bit will be captured when the macro is run.

    CATIA V5 R29 very long loading time

    I experience terrible performance occasionally(slow loading, poor 3D visual quality,extremely slow response). I discovered V5 sometimes hooks to the integrated GPU in my laptop instead of the discrete GPU. I have V5 forced onto the quadro card in nvidea control panel. but you can see in the pic...
