I followed Craptia's advice, and changed the rotation to zero deg, and this appears to have solved the problem.
I'm going through the process of obtaining the service pack and will update just in case.
Thanks for your help
Recently i've started to have an issue when printing drawings where some of the lines are missing.
I've tried different printers, and the same result occurs. When I preview the print, it shows the same lines missing.
I'm not sure if i might have changed a setting somewhere, but its only...
The installation process has also messed up my standards and options. I'm managing to get everything back to how i was but theres one thing that i cant figure out.
When i start a new part the edges are in line thickness "2"(0.35mm)
I'd previously changed it somehow so the default line...
I upgraded the release from R16 to R18 and the file associations for all catia parts is now missing.
As a result i cant open files by double clicking.
I've tried manually changing the file associations, but i cant find which part of the catia program i need to associate the files with.
Any...
Thank you - i didnt consider that there would be a difference between detail and quick detail views.
On a related note does anyone know the best way to generate a dimension that doesnt extend back to the other point.
for example, i am currently drawing a cylindrical fitting that has an under...
I have a part that has an undercut, and i have represented this by using a broken view, but when i try to insert a detailed view of the broken section, the detail view reverts to "unbroken"
Is there any way to insert a detail view from a breakout view, and maintain the view as broken?
hope...
ISO standard.
That was another option i looked at - with an arrow pointing to the other circles, but as you say, there is no way to positionally link the arrow to the dimension.
This is what i have been doing - right clicking on the text box and adding a leader.
I was looking if there was a neater way, as im not keen on using text boxes to dimension drawings.
In drafting, is there any way to add leaders to dimensions so they can point to more than 1 hole or feature?
I have 2 holes that are the same diameter, and instead of dimensioning them seperately, would like an arrow to point to both features.
Previously i have done this by using text boxes...
we had a custom standard set up by our vendor,and the colours etc were based on a black background for drafting (like autocad).
I prefer to use a light background in catia, and have changed the text colours & line colours in the standards to suit this.
I cant seem to find the part of the...
Im using attribute links to reference features of a drawing, but am having a slight problem.
When i try to link to a diameter (pcd) the attribute returned is always a radius.
The pcd dimension is construction geomtry, within a sketch, and dimensioned as a diameter.
Any ideas on how i can...
I'm currently making inspection drawings, intended for parts to be laid over for checking purposes.
The shapes are fairly basic (rectangles with cutouts, corners missing etc).
Im working from nominal outline drawings, and im trying to have an upper and lower limit on the inspection drawing...
I tried the thickness function, and got denegarative surface error messages.
The existing part was scanned using a scanner, and then the solid was created in Rhino (i didnt scan it or use Rhino, this is how i received it, as a solid "lump")
Because of the shape of the duct, it isnt perfectly...
I'm trying to remove 1.5mm from the outside surfaces of a solid model, to create a plaster mold.
The shape is of a duct, and has convolutions and a sweeping curve, that are resulting in errors when i try to offset all surfaces by 1.5mm.
Can i anyone offer a method to do this?
Note: i only have...
I havent got that function. The license we have is the most basic one.
I know have the co-ordinates along the rib, and have performed a multi-section solid, but this appears "twisted" along the surfaces. I would prefer to use a rib, if i can make the striaght line tangent to the spline.
thanks.
Is a 3D spline, following points along the centre of a scanned part so i cant create tangency in sketcher.
5050t: i cant find the "curve smooth" icon in GSD. What license is needed for this?
Thanks for your responses.
Im trying to create a rib that follows a spline, and then continues out into a straight line (i.e an extended "S" shape)
How can i create tangency between the spline and line, to allow the rib to follow the joined curve?
THanks.
Can anyone recommend a good resource for formula relating to bearing load,torque,power transmission and radial force.
We manufacture large rubber lined bearings, and I'm trying to determine an approximate working pressure when the customer has only supplied the power transmitted throught the...
