Does anyone know of a simple way to create drawing trees in Pro? I know of the Jerand software, I just wanted some thoughts or examples of other ways. Thanks, John

Gentilmen, One more question today. I need to create an envelope model from a real model. What I mean by 'envelope' is a maximum 'block' volume. For instance if I have a part shaped like this: _________ |...

Guys, Is there a way to include the material data (density or mass) in an exported file from ProE? Iges, STEP, ACIS..... Thanks, John

Here is how it works: 1) I created a simple model of a beam. 2) In pro engineer create your parametric model 3) Change the symbol of the dimensions of interest to a name that can be easily remembered and used during a simulation: ------------------------------------------------------ A)...

Just to let you guys know I have some of this working well. Here is a sample Proe Start command: proe2001.bat pro_wait -g:no_graphics PROE.txt Explanation: The 'pro_wait' will wait until "pro" is done before it continues and the "pro.bat" exit command will not close the parent batch file...

Does someone have an example of the ExtractBOM Sub of CATIA? I'm looking to pull the BOM of assemblies to a web page for viewing. Thanks

Here is the script I am trying to use. <script language=&quot;VBScript&quot; type=&quot;text/VBScript&quot;> Set CATIA = GetObject(, &quot;CATIA.Application&quot;) Set DrwDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument Set DrwSheets = DrwDocument.Sheets Set Selection = DrwDocument.Selection Set...

Hello again guys. I am having trouble writing text from my dwg to a text file. I have no problem counting the number of text items and I can easily put text into a dwg but when I try to read the text and write it to a file I'm having a very hard time. I would like to know how to read a...

OK.... I got it!!!! If I use the number instead of the cat enumeration it works. Instead of Text.ActivateFrame catTriangle I use Text.ActivateFrame 6 and I get a triangle. Thanks for the help. John

Thanks tpal, but that still will not draw a frame around my text. If I run the script below only the number &quot;1&quot; will appear. Here is the script I am using: <script language=&quot;VBScript&quot; type=&quot;text/VBScript&quot;> Set CATIA = GetObject(, &quot;CATIA.Application&quot;)...

I believe this is a version error. Have you opened and saved this file with a version of catia that is newer that the version you are using now?
