WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MACHINE A WELDMENT ASSEMBLY IN CATIA V5 WITHOUT CHANGING THE INDIVIDUAL PART MODELS.
IN OTHER WORDS THE MACHINING SHOULD ONLY SHOW UP IN THE
MACHINED WELDMENT NOT IN THE PIECE PART.???
If the weldment is a single model file (CATpart), then "copy" and "paste special with link" into a new part file, and continue to add/subtract the "machined" features. The pasted part will be linked to the weldment part file and can be updated.
