    Hi, everyone. Is there anny fast way to measure the XYZ overall dimensions of a complex part or assembly? When I buildup a BOM I need to put the part dimensions into it and it's painstaking to measure each part. It would be nice to have some settings in the BOM generator from Catia or if some...

    Customised hatching generation in drafting

    Thanks a lot Derek i will try that, I'm pretty shore it will work but the thing is that I would have liked a method to customize my hatch setting without having to apply material to the parts, think about a mold assembly or a progressive stamp witch can have up to 700 elements or more, that...

    Customised hatching generation in drafting

    Hey guys, is there any way to "stop" Catia hatching or even sectioning round or shafted parts in a assembly section, I don't know maybe some customizing drafting standards may do the trick? Oh and where can I say that in an assembly section the implicit hatching should be no other than 45...

    USB memory drive saving issue

    Hey guys, does anyone know why CatiaV5 R18 doesn't save the files if one opens them from a USB memory drive. Save Management shows the correct path and shows Saving, but when I reopen no changes are made. Shortly I can't open a file, work on it and save it, from and to a USB memory drive.

    Product Origin

    Have you tried constrains? Try fixing the initial assembly and then constrain all that others that you put in afterward. If I'm not mistaking the default origin of an assembly is the axis system of the first part that you put in. P.S.: It all depends on how you start building the parts within...
