Yes, I am trying to create a sketch using another sketch as reference. I've looked for the projection feature and another doubt arised.
When I project a sketch into another plane, it will be constrained by the original sketch. And what about after I isolate it? Is there any way to keep the...
This one is also about V5R20 help file for Solid Combines creation (Solid_Combine.CATPart).
In the help chapter it says that "...how to create a solid combine, that is a solid resulting from the intersection of two or more extruded profiles."
From these words I concluded that, a least for...
Many thanks, Tibix
It worked. One more question...I noticed tha the closing points are created automatically but something tells me that the criteria followed by CATIA has something to do wit the way how I construct the sketch. Is this true? And, if so, how can I "force", in sketch design, the...
Hello, my friends
I'm having some problems with this part example from V5R20 (RemovedMulti-Sections.CATPart). Apparently it is not possible to create a Removed Multi-Section in this part. From other tutorials I've found in the web, one way to minimize any problems right from the start is to put...
Maybe I haven't understood correctly your post.
I could create a hole using a line that goes through the solid (therefore, the line is the axis). I could also d it by using a point on the solid surface. But I couldn't do it using an axis (from the axis tool). Maybe I'm not doing things...
Thanks, Tibix
I will try your solution.
When you talk about an axis do you mean a "real" axis (created with the axis tool) or an edge from the solid is enough?
Well, it seems the link is not working...anyway, I think I already understood what's happening.
Basically, what I was trying to do was to create a hole from a circle sketch which is obviously not the way how to do it the circle was in a pad face). Looking closely, the hole definition window...
I must be making something wrong. Please use this link: http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c7b9e0de-d052-41a0-b872-00e5e70ee8a8&file=#Hole.jpg
Hello, my friends
In my CATIA trainning I've created a pad from a L-Shape profile (Sketch 1).
Then I created two concentric circles (Sketch 5 and 7).
I want to create a hole using Sketch 7 (minor circle) but it gives the error shown in the picture.
I don't understand why.
I think I already understood it a bit better.
Image I create a Rib from a profile on the ZX plane.
If I select the YZ plane as a reference for the pulling direction, it still can rotate anywhere around the X and Y axis. (the condition "normal to YZ plane" is still satisfied).
In case my...
Let me explain better...the issue comes when I want to use a sketch with more than one feature, two lines, for example. It is possible to select the complete sketch in the tree but the pad definition window does not change (the reference field in the Direction window). Of course I have...
I see...geometrical sets are like places where we can store sketches to be used in the construction of more than one body feature. Obviously, if we create one of these sketches right at the beginning, probably it won't be a problem. But if we get to the conclusion that we missed some sketch in...
Hello, my friends
I'm having a difficult time trying to understand what is the pulling direction concept used in Ribs and Slots.
I've done a lot of searches and 99,9% of the answers I find is the same as in Catia help files, which is "Pulling direction: sweeps the profile with respect to a...
Hello, my friends
How can I use a sketch created after a feature to modify that same feature?
Imagine I have a pad and after it has been created I decide to make it not normal to a plane. I create then a sketch with a line (for ex.) to use it as a orientation line for th pad.
The problem is...
