    CATIA v5 R2022

    I think this will help.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e1f1130e-d909-4c30-8b75-45955d43e463&file=CATIA_2022.pdf

    N°7 FORI - Meaning of? Couple of drafting questions

    "1. 25MM diameter hole with the phrase "N°7 FORI" next to it. I understand the FORI relates to the ±0.2mm on the drawing, but what does the N°7 mean?" FORI = Holes thus the note = 7 holes @ 25mm. I too have just started being exposed to drawings from Italy on a new project.

    sweep cut using a solid as a profile

    Hello, perhaps you have access to 3DX? This functionality seems to be added to part design app. Maybe it will arrive in V5 as well. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=23ae3d84-cd87-4cf2-96c5-4364aab4d4e2&file=solid_tool_sweep.pdf

    Bulk Fill of Holes?

    Extract the surface with all the holes then use the Untrim feature. I believe this to be the quickest way in 3dexperience or V5 but dont have access to V5 to confirm.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e1fc1ee2-0a50-4043-906c-5a634cb29b04&file=SnipImage.JPG

    Creating Elements From An External File in Catia 3DEXPERIENCE 2019x Hotfix7

    Hi All In the Catia V5 help docs there is a MS Excel file "PointSplineLoftFromExcel.xls" that has a macro built in to allow for swift generation of points, splines & lofts in a Catia V5 part. I am unable to find a similar tool in the online docs for 3DEXPERIENCE 2019x! So 2 questions arise...

    2D Centerline management......

    Yes we generally used to create a circle that we can then add a diameter dimension to for our manufacturing and inspection processes. Soon I will be on the 3DX platform. Any idea if this better handled there?

    Tool or workflow similar to Wave Geometry in NX

    The tool that most resembles NX wave link would be the "Insert Part" feature.

    Point contact constraint

    I would create a part that represents a sphere.Create an intersection curve passing through the centre plane, then Add a point using the extrenum feature in gsd. Next I would place points on the freeform surface part wherever the gauge points would touch. Then in assembly use a coincidence...

    Is it possible to extract all dimensions from a sheet?

    I would like to extract all dimensions from a sheet and list them in a table. Currently I able to do this manually by double clicking a text box and then selecting a dimension to have its value appear. I have little experience with macros but I don’t know I would start this. Any help would be...
