    Assembly design - Hardware

    Nice tooling. The reason is MRBs. Bushings installed from the wrong side. Rivets Mfg. head on the wrong side. The reason is a shop floor. Where I work we are a M&P Engineers, so I have to deal with all the shop floor mistakes. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Assembly design - Hardware

    I have started to use this method but there is one disadvantage. You cannot make an exploded view. All the fasteners/hardware are just geometrical representations. This can be perfect for product design engineering but not for manufacturing engineers. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Assembly design - Hardware

    Hello guys. How do you deal with a hardware? I mean in an assembly workbench do you insert and position all the fasteners using publications or create a phantom part where all the fasteners positioned using axis to axis method? Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Revision --A

    So basically they couldn't give me clear answer why they use two level revision. Some of the engineering documentation came from another manufacturer and another projects and no longer manufactured by previous manufacturer. So basically if current manufacturer has some minor changes they prefer...

    Assembly level holes

    Assembly features are also will be active in part design. In such case in part design I use wire frame representation of holes geometry and I use annotations to describe what and at what stage to drill. You can also add dummy part at assembly level with holes geometry. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Optimal Bounding Box

    Useful for raw material order during design stage (especially for complex parts) can be also used during price quoting. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    CAD software for metal stamping company

    I used Cimatron in the past for design (generally tools for composites). In general modelling Cimatron behaves not bad at all. Within new version they have synchronous modelling tools (I want them in Catia [dazed]). Regarding spring-back compensation we don't have a license for that, but I used...

    CAD software for metal stamping company

    We use Cimatron for complex parts unfolding. I believe it's FTI. FTI has really nice tools inside Cimatron. Regarding drafting in Cimatron, well it's OK. I haven't worked with Cimatron for a while. You said you want to develop. Is it only design or also manufacturing? Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Create a groove consistent with a milling cutter

    Ferdo sometimes boolean operation doesn't give desired result especially with curved surface. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Measure between

    Even for that specific license required [thumbsdown]. Drawing is the way to go. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Part Design Features within Sheetmetal Design

    You can copy body and past as result with link or as a dumb body. After that you can apply recognize. If it's not a complicated part then recognition should be enough for you. Regarding attached part - Delete all PD features but sketches. Then use these sketches in SM design. Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Obsolete vs superceded

    Obsolete - still can be used on some old models. Cancelled - no longer in use and won't be used even for old design. Just for reference: VOID = the document was not intended to be made live. Mark the document VOID. OBSOLETE = the document is no longer required and no further revisions will...

    CATIA Macro not Loading

    Ferdo it's not a form on second picture. It is a standard Catia V5 window from where you launch actions. @ tran.k88 Have you changed original script? Regards, Jenia Ladkov

    Drawing - Extension line anchor

    Good day, Is there any way to set anchor by dragging anchor itself to desired element? I don't really like to set anchor using RMB menu. I sometimes have like 20 anchors, so choosing right anchor from a list drives me crazy and I always give up. Regards, Jenia Ladkov
