    How To re-arrange CATIA drawing sheets?

    As far as I know, the only way is to cut and paste knowing that the pasted sheet will end up at the end. It's rather annoying. I hope I'm wrong. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Copy part

    Note: If you "save as," the UUID won't change. Use "save as" and click the "save as new document" checkbox. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    V5R15 designed in context?

    It means you built a part inside and with contextual links to some assembly. Look at the tree icon. If it has a little chain, it's in context. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Aligned Sections on drawings

    ^^ I do what KooKoo mentioned. I sketch (in 2D, not 3D with sketcher) a line and then use it to create a section. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Properties of a sketcher for lofting..?

    ^^ Good post. * for you. I'll disagree on one point. Splines aren't the best choice because they have reversals. What he should do, IMO, is fit in conic sections. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is v5R15 multithreaded?

    AFAIK, only the batch mode stuff is multithreaded. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    ^^ Ah... I missed that. Sorry, I don't really know what you can do other than trace the photo. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    frontal area calc from pic

    Are you talking about a CATIA generated manikin from Human Builder? I'm not sure if there is much you can do with them... I don't have access to that license right now, but have you tried projecting it to a sketch plane? Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    Crap... I made a mistake. It's 15.5+ and 16.GA+. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    You generally seem to be in-the-know sooner than I am, so I may have been misinformed. However, I did witness the above mentioned memory improvements. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    "R15 in 64 bit only on AIX" Natively, yes, but there are the AMD x86-64 extensions built into r15 and sp5+ of r14 (allowing a little more memory). Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Catia V5 ..Can i create a draw view from a scene?...

    Yes, that, to me, is the main point of scenes. From the drafting workbench, chose to make a view like normal. Switch over to your product, and click on the scene before selecting a plane for projection. It's as simple as that. If you are in R14+, you will be able to modify drawing links to...

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    "No noticable advantage going to 64bit" I noticed that with r15 (and 14.5, for that matter) I'm able to get a single CATIA session to use 3GB of physical memory if I'm on Windows XPx64. I topped out at about 2.5GB on Windows XP. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    How to fits update cycles

    How can you model so they don't happen? Hmm... don't drive something with its own child, or with the child of a child, etc.. They are easy to create, but just remember that the tree gets updated sequentially. If I have a sketch, then I make a pad of that sketch, then I put a sketch on a...

    Multi-section surface with a point as one section

    From a "good loft" standpoint, it would be better to trim it to that point rather than have the surface mathematically end there. Three-sided surfaces are generally a no-no, and this is no exception. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    V5 drawing from CGR / large assy

    ^^ CATIA Graphical Representation. It's what you see when you are in visualization mode, for example. It's just a graphical representation of the actual geometry. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    V5 r14 scenes

    Sounds like you have an R14 "Full Scene." You can try to convert it to an "Enhanced Scene." Pick it from the Applications branch and select the Enhanced Scene function. You should be able to delete it by selecting it (again from the Applications branch) and pressing the Delete key. Lee...
