can anyone tell me what this file is "MSKCatlog.CATfct"? how to stop it or remove it from catia data? it is causing problems with data submissions to Honda. here is what my data consists of: a CATProduct with a couple parameters, a single part that was originally designed in NX copied into a...

Jashe, we have run into that problem in the past with the ford titleblock macro. we never really did figure out what caused it and i don't think any of us have had the issue since the last big ford update to catia r26. one thing we did do as a work around was to have another user here update...

Nope, sorry you can't do that. the reference thread is talking about drag/drop parts already open in catia into products. at least using the "existing component..." insertion you can multiselect components. Vern Catia Automotive Designer

thanks for posting fix. this just happened to me last week and i've been beating my head on the screen trying to figure it out. saved me from going insane. thanks. Vern Catia Automotive Designer

so, we figured out what the problem was and i'm no catia admin so this is what i'm told the problem was. in short it was a permissions issue. when we switched domain names, IT ran a program called QUEST to move everything over i'm told and it must have missed some. so everytime we tried to...

need you guys to dust off you IT hats for a second. we are experiencing extremely long assembly load times. i mean assemlbies that normally take around 20 seconds to load, taking around 20 minutes. larger environments that normally take 1-2 minutes taking hours. our IT department has been...

it sounds like you want something like a secure plm/tdm like SDRC I-deas uses. one person checks-out a product and/or part and only that person can check it back in. the only thing i can suggest is, anything that no one in your group should be changing, change that product/part to read only. if...

ages ago i created our companies 2d drawing standards based off of the ISO standard that came with catia. now if i pull in a drawing that was started with another standard and i try to switch to our standard i get this message. "The selected standard is invalid or lower level than the current...

thanks weavedreamer. i tried that and it worked pretty slick. thats one of those buttons i've just never clicked on.

can anyone post a simple macro that will do this. 1)preselect a dimension on a drawing. 2)run a macro that will make that dimension reference by adding a ( ) before and after the dimension. i'm no good at macros and i did the macro recorded but the macro errors out when i run it afterwards. it...

what i mean by a stamped weldment is a group of stamped components that are brought together in a jig and welded together. that weldment is what we buy from our supplier. we don't buy all the individual pieces separately.

where i work there was recently some discussion as to what is the better/preferred method of creating a stamped weldment. our two methods discussed are: 1) create each individual component of a weldment as separate .CATParts and bring them together in a .CATProduct. 2) create each individual...

according to nissan's TCPassion website and their helpdesk you have to run IE6 (three versions behind) and Java 1.5.0_11 (two versions behind). VERY POOR job of keeping up with the updates on nissans part.

is anyone out there running IE8 and connecting to nissan's TCPassion data transfer site? if so, what version of java are you running and what operating system are you using? thanks

actually the two parts aren't even metal. one is rubber the other is a teflon coating for slip. the rubber part is molded in the flat, it then gets coated with teflon, and then wrapped around a tube. this isn't my project here (just trying to help a coworker) but i was thinking we might have to...

jackk, both parts have the same shapes but are different wall thicknesses. they are joined together in the flat state and then formed into their final shape. i dont know enough about the sheetmetal tool to understand why the parts dont match in one state or the other.

i have a coworker using v5r18 and sheetmetal design to create two parts that are bonded together. when the two parts are shown in their finished state all the holes and tabs line up perfect. but, when he unfolds them in the flat state the features don't line up. if alters the parts so that in...

has anyone ever seen the sketch icon in a part design with a question mark in the icon. if you know what it means could you enlighten me. one of my co-workers just ran into this and i hadn't seen it before. thanks

As Jackk stated, either way is fine. i prefer to create subassemblies first and then drop them later into a final assembly. I do this to keep the contextual links from accidentally forming when i dont want them too. beware the brown gear, its not bad, its just not always good.

i have a question about the legality of licensing catia v5. lets say you have tech centers around the globe running catia v5, and each tech center has purchased a set number of seats of catia. can one tech center legally use the others seats while it is in the evening hours for another? any...
