Is there a way to create a x, y, z table (similar to the x, y hole chart on a flat plate)and also have a balloon or some kind of callout identifying the points? We design weld jigs for automotive parts and the jigs must be verified for accuracy using xyz coordinates. Currently we use catia and...
How do you add hatch patterns to list of available ones? Before I started working here a drawing border was setup that had about twice as many hatch patterns as my new drawing setup. If you call up an old drawing these patterns are still available for use, but if I call up a new drawing these...
In other 3d packages that I have used you could click on a tapped hole in a drawing and all the info for that tapped hole would be displayed (tap size with thd pitch, drill dia, tap & drill depth and qty of holes), this info was imported to the drawing automatically from the info in the model if...
Can anyone point me to some documentation on how to create drawings with company border/title blocks. I don't beleive that our current setup was done properly and as a result you can not change drawing size (say from a b-size to c-size) in mid stream without starting a new dwg and copy/paste...

As a former solidworks user (10 years worth) I can tell you that I had a long period of transition. The former catia guy was let go so I had not much help in learning Catia. Unlike solidworks Catia is not as user friendly. The drawing package in Catia is not as good as solidworks, for example...
I have a product which is comprised of several sub assemblies. I want to make a bom on the drawing which assigns numbers to these sub assemblies only so I can ballon them out on the drawing. Currently the bom lists the sub assemblies but does not start assigning numbers until it gets to the...
I have a drawing comprised of several sub assemblies. When I insert a BOM can I set it to give each sub assembly a seperate number. Currently the BOM does not give the sub assemblies any individual numbers. On the main assembly all I want to do is call out the sub-assemblies and have them tied...
Is there a way to unload a file/part from catia so the file can be replaced without shutting down catia. In solidworks if you use: (file-close) from the pull down menu the file is closed and unloaded, if you just close the file by clicking on the x box in the upper right the file closes but is...
