Catia V5 - Macros

[xPAIVAx]

Hi guys,

Im currently working with Catia V5 Macros and i already have a macro to do this in the picture

but in this macro i can only select and do one by one, im trying to improve it to select all the holes i need and than do this in the picture.

Best Regards,

Paiva

sharing your code could be the best way to get some help.

you need to define what you call a hole, is it the feature in the tree, the cylindrical surface in 3D?

If you work with selection, you just have to adapt your existing code to cycle all selection...
Or you could go in your solid and work with any Hole feature...or...

Yes your right, when i mentioned hole i was talking about the feature in the part design

this one.

I told you something wrong too, the pictures above are not macros, they're just something i did with surfaces.

I created this using a UserFeature, something like this.

so you want to work with knowledge template or VBA ?

or you want to use VBA to instantiate the UDF ?

If possible i wnat to work with both, create a macro that let me select as many holes as i want and then i use the knoledge template to insert that base on the top of the hole.

well if you work with selection and if your code already manage working with 1 hole the full code should not be a real problem.

To make it simple, you can first create a function that will take hole as input and instantiate the udf.

Then the main code will work on the selection, and get holes from it, then call the function for each one.

i can't get the macro to manage 1 hole and the udf doesn't show on the macro code.

I'm trying other things too and one of them is without using the udf.

Its' something like this

And i want to create a macro that enters in my product search the components with a certain name and see if inside is something with the name "Base_Extrator", and if it has creates another part and pull everything in.
