Thank you for all of the responses. I'm retired from the college using this software and as a result was not consulted during the version change. Our IT department doesn't actually use the software so will just install a default unless directed otherwise. As I mentioned I was able to just change...
When our IT department installed the latest student version of Catia V5, they used a default template (I guess). When drafting, system generated dimensions come out in Decimal feet; really annoying. In previous years I was able to rectify this by using a modified ANSI.xml file, but that fix...
Yes it's definitely a result of IT not bothering to change this setting. I'm just trying to find where it is so that we can modify this on student computers. Another thing omitted from the student version (among other things like saving step fiiles) is the lack of title block templates for...
Our school uses catia for modelling and some machining. I'm aware of how to change dimensions for modelling, but when I create a drawing the dimensions come out in decimal feet. Years ago I was able to get the system to default to three place decimal inches by modifying the ANSI.xml file, but...
Rickyt thank you! That answers my question and creates the feature I've been attempting to do for some time. A bit of confusion at first because my centerline object already had a horizontal centerline and (as you noted) you have to drag the centerline circle around and it wasn't immediately...
When dimensioning a bolt circle in a Catia drawing, I would like to create a dashed bolt circle centerline curve associated with the holes in the bolt circle.
I can generate this bolt circle using (as one example) a circle through three points. Easy enough to change the font to dashed and...
A Google search pointed me here. It's a Catia generated drawing that I'm having problems with. So this function is not available to me. Thank you for your response.
I looked up a number of posts regarding a bolt circle on a Catia drawing but was unable to find a solution to my problem.
I have a part with 5 holes 30 degrees apart on a bolt circle and I would like to place a partial bolt circle arc on the drawing. I can create that arc in a number of ways and...
