Hi,

I have seen a tool in CATIA v5 that worked as a draft analysis. Of course I know about the regular Out-Of-The-Box-Draft-Analysis but this programmed tool was really neat.

Once I selected the tool I only had to select draft/tooling direction and then I could click around anywhere on the geometry and the program made a little point with text with the draft value on that spot. Then I could click around the geometry and get how many of these draft annotations that I would like. When I closed the tool, all the annotations disapeared.

But it was impossible to open the script or vb so I couldn´t see the code..

Anyone?

To get information about a draft angle in i regular messagebox is probably not that superhard but how could I prompt it on the geometry as an "annotation"??

With best regards from
jowr
