    Tools>Macro>Macros... after catvba file relocated on network

    The IT department moved the catvba file from one network drive to another, deleting the old location. Using the Tools>Macro>Macros… Alt+F8 in the pulldown menus, the process is hung while a Microsoft process identifier show CATIA.exe repeatedly looking for the old path. After an hour or more...

    CATIA VBA - Active Macro Path

    Thanks. kantoku and Little Cthulhu. I can adapt that into the code I've got and be able to work with it accordingly.

    CATIA VBA - Active Macro Path

    I did a search for Active Macro Path. What I am looking for is an equivalent in VBA for CATIA done in VBA for Excel VBA: Show workbook location Sub DisplayWorkbookPath() MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Path, vbInformation, "Workbook Path" End Sub Can something like this be accomplished within a VBA...

    Questionable true position callout - 2

    Thanks. You honed right in on what I glossed over compiling my question.

    Questionable true position callout - 2

    Will this control the width of a rib or an groove along a basic path identified from end A to end B while ensuring the center of the rib or groove is within the prescribed tolerance zone? An extension of principle derived from illustration shown in ASME Y14.5-2009 Fig. 7-29. The datums, while...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    Because the drawings currently stipulate MMC and MMB's. - as to being more specific, I'm still trying to frame the right question. I've been going thru some older notes on applying this stuff in stacks, and realized there was not an example given the Projected Tolerance Zone as part of a...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    Perpendicularity is a refinement, agreed, when applied within the positional tolerance zone. I'm trying to understand the relationship between the hole location before a dowel is pressed into it, and the dowel positioning and orientation after pressed. I think I now see that the MMB for the...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    Pins being pressed into the parts are showing a 'drift', rather than assuming the c/l of the hole being pressed into. The hunch is that the application of the PTZ to refine the perpendicularity is allowing it to actually be fabricated with the 'drift' predisposed into the process. Picture the...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    ***** image 3 correction ***** ***** image 4 correction ***** That was missed after converting the O.D. of a wall from the ASME example to the I.D. of a hole in this variation. tim_member, the part thickness adds a divisional branch into the approach. Keeping the PTZ of 5 mm, how would a...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    I'm hoping these are fairly straightforward. ***** Image 1 ***** ***** Image 2 ***** ***** Image 3 ***** ***** Image 4 ***** Is there an approach to calculating the Maximum Material Bound when the Projected Tolerance Zone is only used on the positional geometric control or just the...

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    So, as it is spelled out here, the callout is obsolete, so it is not likely a legitimate callout as it is a recent vintage drawing. For pragmatic purposes, in order to provide a V.C. value to work with, it equates to 6.003-0.0025=6.0005 V.C. per archaic interpretation, with the parallelism...

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    CheckerHater, You write "former practice" — as in established by precedence, or indicating an obsolete and archaic usage?

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    There is allowance for a Datum Target Line in ISO GPS. This would be an example of a static case. The callout being inquired about is described as a dynamic case.

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    The diameter 6.0055/6.0030 is identified as a feature of size Datum H. Datum A is shown on the leader line opposite where the parallelism is called off. So far, it is a hearsay verbal explanation of what the drawing is "supposed" to mean. Instead of "What is the Virtual Condition?", the...

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    Datum A was described as the opposite side of the cylinder from where the Parallelism is being measured. (Line of contact?) As such, it (the Parallelism) assumes the role of an orientation control? The confusion is shared here.

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    Does the Parallelism or the Straightness get subtracted from the minimum diameter to establish the virtual condition of the illustrated cylinder? The envelope principle is not specified / invoked in this case. Attachment should be the same as inline image, for those who can view the inline...

    RSS Calculation including Flatness in Sheet metal Chassis

    The cited explanation was for flatness as applied to a feature. The 2009 standard allows for application of flatness to a feature of size. In a feature of size application, flatness could affect form. The flatness tolerance(s) would be added to the limit dimension(s).
