Moving up in Specification Tree

[soljarag]

Hi,

I am new to Catia and I am coming from 4 years of Solidworks.

I cannot figure out how to move up in the Specification Tree (go back before some of the features were put in there)

I'm not on a workstation now, not sure exactly how it's named but right click on the feature and look for something like "define work object" or just "define object", the underline will indicate which is active.

But remember to set the body when you are done

RMB the bottom-most feature to want to roll-back to and select "Define Work Object"

thanks for the reply...

This seems to work if I don't have any Geo. Sets, however if I have any Geo. Sets I can't get it to work....

any sugestions?

Thanks!

Geometric Sets have no order, and are very flexible because of this. If you want surface entities to behave like solids as far as ordering is concerned use ordered geometric sets.

creating structure in goemetric sets is the users responsiblity. use parents and Children, Design graph (may not be called this, but I cannot remember its exact name - On the tools tool bar in gsd), Change geometric set, insert geometric set, insert element (may not be called this, again I cannot remeber its exact name - On the tools tool bar in gsd), replace, hide/show, mask, etc.. To understand and create/modify/display the structure is geometric sets.

That makes perfect sense! Thanks for the explanation, I was going crazy trying to get it to behave like solidworks
