    Continuous Polyline in Drafting

    Hello JeniaL, Changing my settings to be just like yours worked. Thanks. Is there a way to smooth the lettering using dxf? When my program reads the dxf file, it chops the lettering and its not smooth as it looked in CATIA. I tried different fonts and the same thing happened. Thanks...

    Continuous Polyline in Drafting

    Thanks JeniaL, I'll upload a few plies later today. One more issue I have to resolve to get my patterns working on my gerber cutter is the following: My ply patterns are in a Drawing as previously stated. In the drawing, I have named my ply and placed the text inside the ply. I want my gerber...

    Continuous Polyline in Drafting

    Hello JeniaL, I do not see a CPM option under my licenses, so I do not believe I have it. However, I do have CPD and under Composite Design workbench I have Manufacturing tools such as Excess Material, Skin Swapping, and Prepare for Synchronization. Are there different tools between CPD and CPM...

    Continuous Polyline in Drafting

    Thanks Jenial. Is this done in the Drafting or Composite Workbench? I modified some of my plies manually in the drafting workbench since the CATIA generated ones were not 100% accurate.

    Continuous Polyline in Drafting

    Hello, I am trying to setup ply patterns for a gerber cutting machine. I have my ply patterns defined in CATIA Drafting. This drawing will be output as a DXF file for the gerber cutter to read. The way the gerber cutter works is that it will route and cut my prepreg material per each line or...

    CATPart Conversion

    Hello, I need to convert a CATPart from V5-6R2013 to V5R20. I accidentally saved a V5R20 file using V5-6R2013. A customer can only view and work with the CATPart using V5R20. Thanks to anybody that can help.

    CATIA Script

    Hello, I have a CATIA drawing with parameters attached to it. I want to modify the CATIA Dassault System provided script (Drawing_Cartridge_PlyBook) to read a parameter in my drawing and assign that value over the script string "text_05". Is there a simple command to do this? Thank you.

    NASA NDARC

    Hello, I am trying to learn NDARC without any guidance and it has been very overwhelming. Is anybody familiar with the program? What I have basically understood from what I have read is that one may define the aircraft components (wings, fuselage, number of rotors, etc) and assign parameters...

    Center of Rotation for Root Incidence and washout

    Hello, When apply an angle to the root incident and washout of a wing, where is the center of rotation taken about? The mac, the center of gravity of the wing, x coordinate of the max thickness of the chord? Thanks

    Knowledge Pattern

    Hello, When creating a point using Knowledge Pattern, let's say by intersection using function intersect(Curve,Curve). Is there a way to extract its x,y,&z coordinates? I saw a function called Point->coord(rank:integer):Length. However, I am unsure what the integer input is and if the Point is...

    CATIA Airfoil Coordinates

    Hello, I have imported airfoil coordinates into CATIA using Excel GSD_PointSplineLoftFromExcel and have modeled a wind design that is linked to the points generated by Excel. However, I want to switch out my airfoil to a different one. Using the Excel spreadsheet will only generate new points...
