Thanks LWolf, I don't think I have access to the license that enables the "Product Data Filtering" workbench.

Hi Folks, Is there a way to make CATIA import a STEP assembly from another system as a single CATpart? My goal is to end up with a single CATpart maintaining all the surface colours. I know I could import the STEP file as the default CATproduct and then perform a "Create CATpart from...

Ahh, of course. Thanks Stick [thumbsup2], I remember that now. It's amazing how easy it is for me to forget even the basic stuff when I don't use it for a few months. Dave

Hi folks, I apologise if this is a newbie question but my head's not working well today and I'm struggling with finding this answer in searches in Google or on the forum... In V5 (R30) drafting how do I adjust the length of individual legs of a centreline? I have a large semi-circular part and...

Brill, thanks Tudor

Ahh, thanks Tudor. What is the process for loading them in manually?

Hi all, Is there a way to load in a CATproduct structure (tree only) with no parts or solving? It's just something that CREO and NX can both do through Simplified Reps and Load Options resp. and I'm looking for a similar feature in CATIA. Many thanks, Dave

Hi folks, I am struggling to source a fuel level sender that is compatible with an 11-bit ISO 11898-1 (CAN 2.0A?) vehicle CAN system. The only CAN fuel level senders that I have been able to find are 29-bit SAE J1939 (CAN 2.0B) units. I have found an academic article online that suggests that...

Hi folks, On my current client's installation they have a set of filters set up in Part Navigator. These filters are turned on and applied by default. While I don't mind these filter existing, some are actually quite useful, I don't want them applied by default. How to I stop Part Navigator...

Hi Cowski, Thanks for this! Dave

Hi Folks, How do I make 3D points visible in my drawing views? Believe it of not we've not long upgraded to NX9 from NX6 and I'm creating a drawing of a Master Model part. I need to add a point in 3D space to reference in the drawing. I've created the point in the modelling application of the...

Thanks for the replies guys. Steel would be the easy option. Unfortunately, being an aero application, weight is critical so steel is out unless Al is proven to be unacceptable. It would be carbon fibre if it could be. The bracket supports a carbon fibre box of wires so there's no real weight...

Hi folks, I currently have a bolted joint closing 2 aluminium housings using short steel studs, 1.5mm thk steel washers and Kaynuts. On two of the studs I need to replace the steel washers with an aluminium bracket (also 1.5mm thick) but there is not enough thread length on the studs to retain...

Hi, I have but it doesn't give the single solid that I'm looking for that Simplify Assembly claims to do. Dave

Hi Folks, Would someone know of a walkthrough of the Simplify Assembly Wizard? ...or be able to help me out with posting one on here? I can't find anything through any websearches. I'm trying to put a fully detailed single-body "shrinkwrap" together of my assembly and this wizard seems like it...

Hi Kevin, I could use Snap but that doesn't really achieve what I'm targeting. In this instance what I'm trying to do is generate parametric axis systems offset from the origin axis system to which I can assemble sub-products to host constantly evolving client-side package models submitted as...

Hi folks, How can I get and use the coordinates and rotation for an axis system to axis system transformation? Is it even possible in Catia? When I try to measure axis system to axis system all a get back is x=0, y=0, z=0 with 0 angle when the axis systems are clearly well over 1m apart and at...

Excellent! Thanks Fernando Dave

Hi All, Is there a quick way in Catia for searching for objects without child objects? I've been working in a fairly complex surface model for some weeks and taken a few different tacks when at times when what I've been trying to do hasn't worked. This has left a number of dead-end "branches"...

Hi folks, I'm very familiar with Vis Mockup having used it in several previous roles. My current employer is looking to invest in a supplier integration package comprising Tc and Vis Professional. I'm not so familiar with Vis Pro, what features does it lack in comparison to Mockup? Thanks!
