Compositepro, Thanks for the feedback. I think you've made a good point regarding keeping the core at a higher temperature. This core is cooler at the start of the run, but then heats up over a number of cycles - this could explain why only a few parts are failing. We maybe need to reject...

Chris, Thanks for the reply and advice - I've passed on your suggestions to our team. Aesthetics is a big thing, so anything that impacts a high gloss finish is an issue. We've used the clear ABS with polarised light for other projects - thanks for reminding me about it. FYI our process...

Imagine a 100mm long part which is wider at one end and tapers down from 30mm to 15mm dia over a length of 30mm and then is effectively straight for the remainder of the length - see attached sketch. The wide end is hollow and has a constant wall thickness (3mm) following the outside taper for...

Thanks looslib, I may not have tried every possible way of doing this, but I tried 'interpreting' the assembly and then each part one-by-one. The problem was, when I had shrunk the assembly sketches, they messed up the parts which used these sketches before I could shrink them, so I couldn't...

I've created an assembly top-down with piece parts created from a number of sketches in the assembly environment. I've then discovered that I used inches instead of mm - dohhh! (I tend to use either units depending on customer). When I go to changing the units in the assembly model properties...

Thanks Ferdo, I went down the ENOVIAvpm list and clicked/unclicked everything one at a time without success. I checked the settings on R19 and they are the same. Screenshot attached shows the window that pops up. Any other thoughts? Thanks again for replying, A...

Every time I open a drawing that comes from another company and try to take a measurement from a view Catia V5R21 opens up this annoying window and doesn't let me go any further. It didn't/doesn't happen on V5R19, so opening older drawings is not a problem. Is there some setting I can change...

TibiX, Thanks - that did the trick, A.

I imported a stp model and need to remove all radii to allow be to add draft etc. Is there an easy way to remove these? Thanks in advance.

Smartselect works - many thanks. Another question relating to this:- A lot of the entities come in unusual colours. When I click on them the colours are BYBLOCK, is there any way to dig deeper and determine what the colour actually is (I need the correct colour when I go to SMARTSELECT it)...

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask for something like this, but I get drawings in from suppliers who have no idea of layer and colour discipline. Before I print out a drawing in colour I need to change anything in say yellow, to something darker. This should be just a matter of changing the...
