You can use file save management and "save as" each part to the new part numbers. This will make a copy of the new part number and then you will have to remove the old parts from the hard drive. Another way is to rename the parts in the hard drive but then you will have to re-link the files...

I have several drawings that I need to copy the views from one drawing to another. The parts are the same but with different part numbers. Is there a way to copy and then relink the drawing views to the new models? Thanks

Is the spring part a solid? Symmetry in assembly seems not to work with parts that are not solid. It goes through the motions and nothing is created.

You should be able to go to manage librarys and set the folder structures up. You will need to set the upper folder first and then all other folders under that. I do not know what permissions are required to do this. I have admin. permissions and have been able to set-up folder structures. Hope...

I am looking for any information on I-DEAS NX5! Nissan is switching to this and I need any information about the user interface, what is different between version 12 and NX5. I have been using I-DEAS since version 6. Thanks for all of the the help Jim

We are currently having a discussion on straightness vs. flatness. Here is the scenario: we have flat mounting surfaces that we need to check in respect to “flatness”. We currently use a “U” shaped block that the part surface can slide into. The gap is set to material thickness at MMC and the...

You can also use the drafted filleted pad definition icon. I turned of all of the fillet options and it looks like it works.

It is under "insert/Boolean Operations/Intersect" on the Part Design tool set.

It sounds like the lock tool bar position is turned on. To turn it off go to tools/customize/option should be on the bottom of the form

Here is how I was able to get the coordinates into a text file and excel. 1. Create you point chart 2. Copy and paste the point chart into a new drawing. 3. Save the new drawing as a PDF file 4. Open PDF file and save as text file. 5. Open text file edit as needed. This is a long process but...

You will need to go into view/tool bars/3Dx Device. You should see that the rotation option is turned off. All you need to do is turn it back on and it should work.

I am getting this error when I try to open a V4 drawing in V5. "No internal or external PRJ file no visualization of text and dimensions Please inform the V4 project file path in tool/option." I have found this and have placed a generic file name but still does not work. Any Ideas? Thanks...

PeterGuy thanks for the information. This is very helpful

This equation is for our tapers on the ends of a laser cut tubes. The 18 is 18mm from the end of the tube and the 150 is the length of the taper. We build half and then mirror the other half, close the ends and sow together and use as a cutting surface on a hollow tube.

Is there a way to have an "if" statement in the formula editor? I have an equation that is in excel and looks like this: =IF((18<(0.2*150)),((495*SQRT((0.2*18)/150))+36),((150*(18/150))+105)) I am trying to incorporate this into Catia V5. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help

I have a customer part that has 3D labels on it. I am trying to have these labels show up on the drawing side. Is it possible to have this information show up on the drawing side? If so how or what setting do I need to change? thanks

I found what I was looking for. It was under tools / option / compatibility / graphic formats / raster / configuration. I then experimented with different DPI and found that 500 worked best with fax group 4 compression. The file size was about 200 KB. Thanks for all the help

Where would that be located?

I am assuming that you need this on the drafting side? If so you can create a catalog with the new symbol in it. We use this all the time for items that we use in our drawings that are not in V5. Hope this helps
