    Hello, I am trying to learn how to do some simply CATIA NC operations...you can see my part at: http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/max0/NC.JPG Now, I have created the part without any problems in PART DESIGN, and now I am trying to use Prismatic Machining to be able to generate some NC code. As...

    Removing Axes from Assemblies

    I have an assembly in V5R8, in which I want to display ONLY the solids, and hide any and all geometries, including all the H and V axes. I can hide all the constraints just fine, but how do I get rid of the H-V axes?? You can see them all in the following screenshot...

    Normal Views

    When I am in part designer, and I do a NORMAL VIEW on a surface or plane....it works fine, I can see my normal view....For example, I click on NORMAL VIEW, and then on the XY plane, and it goes to the parallel view, but the X-AXIS, for example, is not aligned at 0 degrees...it always seems to be...

    Correcting Resolution when Zooming

    When I zoom in on parts or even sketches.....how can I correct the display so that curves remain curved? For example, in CATIA V4, when you zoom in close on a circle, it becomes a hexagon or an octagon, because of the zoom. I remember in V4 there was a command to correct the resolution so that...

    CATIA V5R8 Toolbar Problem

    Thanks for the tip...this problem has happened TWICE since I solved it, and all I had to do was go and delete the FrameConfig.CATsettings file....I'll try a backup of the working one, and then just copy it over...makes more sense, since I have to change all my options back, every time I go and...

    CATIA V5R8 Toolbar Problem

    OK, the problem has been solved, and as was posted in another thread, the file, "FrameConfig.CATsettings" had to be removed from the following directory: On Windows NT, it is: "C:/programfiles/winnt/profiles/(loginname)/application data/dassaultsystems/" On Windows XP, it...

    CATIA V5R8 Toolbar Problem

    The problem goes even further... .....check this out: http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/max0/CATIA_Problem02.JPG I just uninstalled, and then re-installed the whole program....and now, all my menus are messed up totally. They seem to be duplicating themselves, and I have NO idea what to do...

    Creating a Rib along three different Axes

    Could you please elaborate what you mean, by making two 'extracts' of the 2 sketch? And what 'join' command are you referring to? Is it in Part Design or Sketcher? Thanks...

    Creating a Rib along three different Axes

    Ok, this problem is really annoying me....I want to create a rib of a circle, for example, that follows a center curve, that moves forward along the X-direction, then curves UP in the Y-direction, and finally moves FORWARD into the Z-direction.....can u follow what I mean?? I can create a rib...

    Cannot see Points!

    Whenever I am in Part Design mode, and I create a point, I can never SEE that point in my 3D space...does anyone know how I can adjust the visualization to see these points??? Thanks, Max maxshiff@sympatico.ca

    I have CATIA V5R6 installed on my system: Windows XP, Pentium III 450 MHz, 320 MB SDRAM (PC-100), Diamond Viper 32 MB TNTII Video Card. Whenever I am in Part Design or Assembly Design, and I either right click a part on the screen, or a part in the tree, the contextual menu always pops up, and...
