    Macro To Extract A Surface In Space (& Understanding Selection Object)

    I think you should create the extract in your Assembly CATPart. Then copy-paste the selection into the new part. regards, LWolf

    CATIA VBA Script - Implicit vs Explicit Selection

    all BReps tend to be very long names... so yeah it is possible to infer whether the selection was made on a topology/implicit element (face, edge or vertex) or proper/explicit. regards, LWolf

    CATIA VBA Script - Implicit vs Explicit Selection

    in "User Selection Filter" there is a command that selects whole features, even if you click on a patch: "Feature Element Filter". You can engage it prior to user-selection: CATIA.StartCommand "Feature Element Filter" But this will only be valid whilst nothing is selected prior to running the...

    CATIA MACRO: Formula using Parameters.GetNameToUseInRelation() and arithmetic operations

    How are your parameters defined, what units/dimensions do you have? You are creating a string defining the KWA input, as if you were manually using the Formula editor e.g.: Dim String1 As String String1 = "ToString(round(" & Part.Parameters.GetNameToUseInRelation(CentralCpt) &...

    Parts in Assembly are showing up empty (no body) in assembly tree.

    you have loaded the visualisation part--.cgr file. Switch do design mode, that will load in the geometry, and resolve/define the publications regards, LWolf

    Catia V5 toolbars

    you can flip the orientation of a toolbar by pressing "Shift" whilst the dragged out toolbar is transparent (active) i.e. when dragging it out of the docking area, press "Shift"--this will flip it from vertical to horizontal or vice versa. Or go with rickyt suggestion... Also, if you have...

    How to get the Balloon Position from CATIA V5 Drawings using VBA

    the D2 coordinates is something added to the drawing frame (probably generated by a script) - and also probably connected to the drawing dimension as well. So all one needs to do is connect that logic to the x,y values obtained for the balloon. regards, LWolf

    How to get the Balloon Position from CATIA V5 Drawings using VBA

    There is the .x and .y property of a text (It is expressed with respect to the current view coordinate system.) And you can obtain the x and y position of the view. regards, LWolf

    Help with CATIA Assembly Component Types

    See the component without the white ark representation as a way to collapse a tree. As Eric says there is no file associated with this kind of a component (unfortunately DS uses the word "component" for different purposes...) In Kinematics, using such a component enables to view all the contents...

    Changing a Length Parameter to a String Parameter via a rule

    Those parameters are of type "Length" and as such when you type in a numerical value, you will get the unit specified in your settings, right now it is "mm" "N/A" is a string, and as far as I know one cannot change a parameter type... you could replace your lengths with some arbitrary...

    CATIA mass measure macro taking too much time to complete.

    Each part must then have that parameter (along with a mass assignment to it). But it should be waaaay faster to work with parts rather than shuffling data in and out of excel. So yes, write a script that assigns a parameter to each part, and measures weight of each partbody (or other bodies if...
