    Converting 2D Text over to 3D Geometry for Sketch

    We've done the drawing to .ig2/igs conversion for a while but I found this company that has created a software add-on for V5 that takes care of all the parametric 3D text problems and now we will be using it for the forseeable future. Type3 is the company, look up Text in Catia as the video...

    Catia R19 - Bracket

    I can't see the pictures you linked Ferdo but I'm guessing it was the small 6mm fillets going into the thin legs? Took a few more minutes to think about how to get these blends to look right without using GSD or SMD. Luckily Remove Face...

    I'll have one in 19 shortly built the same way.

    D'oh!, you said in 19. that's in 22. and I don't see how to edit a post.

    Catia R19 - Bracket

    In part design only? Here's one way. Probably not the best way but it gets it done.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9e973446-55d2-4df7-aec6-bd4f09233dea&file=BRACKET_redone.CATPart

    MAKE AN EMBOSS ...

    Here's what I do, that I found here a while ago: Open a blank drawing. Type out your as needed, and save the drawing as a .ig2 format. In a file manager window from your operating system, change the file extension to .igs and open that file in V5. I usually add this .igs part to my working...

    Need some kinematics advice

    I'm trying to develop a simulation where revolving about one joint will force a surface to surface contact that drives a second rotation that is perpendicular to the first. The surface to surface contact is not consistent, or always on the same two surfaces. I have my fixed component, the...

    Parts move in assembly when using Fix constraint (V5 R19 SP03)

    Maybe instead of Fix, try Fix Together to another part like the baseplate, or something else that won't move. Strike that, I just read that you only want to see Fix constraints. That is crazy. I haven't had to use R19 yet, but it's loaded for the right customer here.

    Best trainning course to learn Catia

    this guy's course was good, covers a lot of stuff that you'd actually use in day to day product modeling. unlike the usual training courses that use canned exercises with block and cylinder. www.practicalcatia.com Keith was very knowledgeable, coming from a product design background he was...

    Catia Drafting Graphics Problem

    If you need some wireframe/point data hidden, and others shown, move the hideable stuff to another geometric set and hide that set in the model. The view update will work fine after that. If you're working with an assembly, have the product open in session. This would be a solution if you...

    Catia V6

    from what little i've seen of it, looks similar to how GM is setup with I-MAN and UG. You don't work local at all.

    Default File Directory problem

    related to this post - thread560-216652 In R16 this worked fine. Now we have R18 and it is ignored. I even moved the Other Folders to the top of the order, still doesn't work. Any ideas?

    dealing with massive assemblies

    Tools > Options > down to Infrastructure > Product Infrastructure The first tab on the top left of the row is Cache Management. Right at the top of that page is a toggle to "Work with the cache system". Turn that on, and make your maximum size larger than 500MB. I've got mine set to 75% of...

    Running Catia in UNIX?

    I run both sides of the coin here at work, and I much prefer the function in UNIX vs. Windoze, but I am biased to UNIX from working on it longer. I do not notice any major performance issues speed wise, but I hardly ever get the "Click OK to Terminate" like on the PC. There are times when...

    Using assembly "scenes" in drafting views

    you could edit the name of the view in the spec tree to reflect which scene you used on that page.
