    2d Catalog Components orientation in drawing view

    2d Catalog Components orientation in drawing view

    When placing a 2d components from a catalog into a CATDrawing view, it uses the orientation of the view. How do I get Catia to place the objects normal to the screen...zero rotation? Is there a CATSetting for this?

    Tolerances on Model Generated Dimensions

    Only happens to dimensions that are generated from the model. If I create a dimension manually and add a tolerance, it can be moved with no issues. We have a company standard that was based off of the ASME standard. This standard has been copied and used for many years with no issues. I agree...

    Positioning hole with edge distance?

    If the basic edge dimension went to the center of the holes instead of the edge and datum B was the surface of the radius (Not center axis), would it be ok?

    Positioning hole with edge distance?

    I am no GD&T expert, but I can't believe this is correct (See attached). It seems to me that this allows for the hole to float? I've always been under the impression that the feature had to have an absolute position. If this is not valid, any feedback helping to explain how it is invalid would...
