    Find object with same name as selected object

    Hi guys, I am still muddling thru... everything scripting related. hopefully this is an easy one... What: I attempted to create a simple script to select all parts with the same name as the one selected by the user. I'm pretty sure I'm screwing up the way it searches. Any suggestions how make...

    Back feed results from an exe into catia

    Hi guys and gals, I am trying write a macro that the user selects a part within an assembly, an .exe file opens, the user selects a color from a chart, and the whole part color is changed in CATIA. I understand this can all be done within CATIA, but I am trying some new things with my limited...

    CatiaV5 R24 Admin

    Does anyone know how to access admin rights for r24? (I have read/write access to all drives), the latest version I've seen for this is 18 and it doesn't seem to work for r24. I am trying to change default text, arrow ratio size/colors and various other customization. thanks -Kyle

    Modified Catia BOM macro

    sachinTata, THIS WORKS EXACTLY HOW I NEED IT TO! THANK YOU! :) it appears the count needed to be set to one... then I am not sure of the specifics. if you don't mind- I'd like to know what factors you considered in the original code to draw your conclusion for this new code. I apologize...

    Modified Catia BOM macro

    The 3+1 you mentioned was exactly what the code was producing, the image I made showing a tally of 4 was an edit I made to the spreadsheet just to show what I would like the macro to produce. sorry for the confusion

    Modified Catia BOM macro

    That's okay that the instance number is different from the part number, the part number is all that matters, and each of the 4 parts seem to be consistently named. (I didn't come across any spaces or stray numbering) However, some curious occurrences happened... I ran the macro selecting the...

    Modified Catia BOM macro

    Hello, I downloaded a bom macro and attempted to modify to to our needs- unfortunately I am stuck on one final thing... this is what I am getting when I select the 4 parts and run macro- the macro appears to be counting the instance name (I think?) i would like it to tally only the part...

    Linking parameter in catpart to catdrawing

    Does anyone know how to link a CATpart parameter (within a part) to a drawing. So if I update the CATpart parameter, the CATdrawing parameter will reflect the change? What you see in the drawing is driven off a design table that I must update manually to match what is done is the part...

    Duplicate Line selection and deletion macro

    Good suggestion to project, I discovered (after you create a smart join) you can project dumb up to the offset plane- however, you must project along a direction and turn nearest solution off. That will (apparently) get rid of duplicate lines, I'm not really sure WHY... but it worked so I'm...

    Duplicate Line selection and deletion macro

    I am bringing in a 2D profile from an IGS file, the profile has 3700 elements (lines and curves) then it has a totally new set of lines and curves that form the same profile on top of it. Essentially, its a single geoset with duplicate lines on lines. Is there a tool in Catia (or custom macro)...
