    balloon leaders disappear

    Hey all, My company just started running Release 2019. Noticed that the balloon leaders disappear when we print or save a drawing as a PDF. I remember having this problem many years ago, but can not find the solution. We can attach arrows to the balloon and they'll plot out, but the leaders...

    ijk outputs

    Hey All, Is there a way to take points, in 3D, and output them and their ijk's to a DES file? I know, in order to get the vector, of a point. I need to create lines, at those points. I'm assuming this is how I'd get the IJK's. (Can't think of another way to do it.)But, after that I'm at a...

    USING EXCEL FILE TO ADD PROPERTIES

    Hey all, I'm having a problem using an excel file to add properties to a CATPart file. If there is a space or non-letter character in the property name then they will come in with quotes around them. We use these properties to run a B.O.M. program and the quotes cause problems. So, for now, we...

    Keeping a parameter active

    Hey all, I'm trying to use parameters and formulas in order to fill out information in a .CATPart's property fields. We use the fields to create BOM's and having them fill automatically when we set up a angles, bases, etc.. will save us some time. The problem I'm having is that, I set...

    cumulated dimensioning

    I just started getting into V5R21. I've started working on a drawing and my cumulated dimensions are coming out wrong. They were set correctly for my previous version. (R18) But now they are jacked. I've been trying to fix the standards and am having no luck. So I have a couple of questions. 1...

    Changing decimal place in V5 hole table

    Found out I'm an idiot. The simplest of answers is, of course, the right answer. Took me 3 hours and my boss 10 min. to figure out I need a vacation. Thanks to any who may have been trying to figure this out.

    O.K. Here's the problem. Did work on a job and dim'd everything out in MM. Now, we generate hole charts when we draft out the tools. Of course, the chart is in MM's, But, the customer wants the hole chart in inches. Now, I've figured out how to generate the chart in inches, but it only goes out...

    no surfaces or faces showing

    Got a problem. Working on a, somewhat, large job and now the only thing that shows is solids and text. No faces and surfaces are seen. They're not in 'no show' they just aren't coming up, yet if I bring the job up on another computer everything comes up fine. I'm not sure if there's something...

    Setting the merging dist. in healing command

    Hey all! I was wondering if there was a way to set the default merging distance and distance objective setting in the 'Healing' command to something other then .001? I know we can change it manually when using it but was wondering if I can just set it once in options or elsewhere and not have to...
