    DETAIL PAGE INSERTION

    By 'detail page' do you mean a detail view ? If so, in the view toolbar use the Detail view icon. There is a sub menu with 4 different options, follow the prompts.

    User defined pattern - anchor point

    Hello Chaps Im using V5 release 14, and notice something curious with the anchor point in user defined pattern. If the anchor point is created on the fly with the right click contextual menu as the user pattern is being created, it works fine - just as expected. However.... if I subsequently...

    V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

    I am using R14. Im starting to think it may be best to have a two sets of Catparts, one used in the machined Catproduct and one in the fabricated Catproduct, although this makes modifications longer and needs cross referencing on part numbers. I guess thats why its been introduced for R18...

    V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

    Scenario. I have an assembly of parts. This assembly, CATproduct, is then machined - holes added, diameters machined, under another assembly number. I have made each assembly identical, they each use the same CATpart, except I have used assembly features in the machined assembly to produce...

    Catia V4 - viewing direction of drawing views

    Im using third angle, but this doesent seem relavant. I am creating views perpendicular to faces on a multi faceted solid. To do this I create an axis on the face, with the z axis perpendicular, make this axis current, then swap to draw mode. Using qickdraw with the front view defined as XY, I...

    Catia V4 - viewing direction of drawing views

    Hi I am creating drawing views using AUXVIEW2 - QUICKDRAW. The current axis in space mode defines the view plane, eg a front view in quickdraw defined as XY uses the XY plane of the current axis in space mode as the view plane. This is straightforward, but I dont understand what defines the...

    Pitch Circle Diameter parameters

    - You can also amend the number of holes using the same principal - create a parameter eg "instances". In the instances field of the Circular Pattern Definition panel right click, edit formula and make the number of instances equal to "instances" / 1mm.

    Pitch Circle Diameter parameters

    See if this works for you - Create 3 user defined parameters using the FORMULAS:PARAMETERS panel, say "hole dia" , "pcd" and "angle"(making sure the types are length, length and angle respectively). These then appear in the specification tree under Parameters. Create your sketch with a...

    using a formula for number of instances

    That worked great - thanks very much. The problem I had was with the units, and dividing by mm to cancel them is very neat.

    using a formula for number of instances

    I want to use a fromula in the INSTANCES field of the RECTANGULAR PATTERN DEFINITION panel. The result I want in the INSTANCES field is the length of a pad (no problem adding this), divided by 44.45 and then rounded down to the nearest whole number. I cant get it to work and would appreciate...
