    U50 Error

    Hello Divine123, Wooh, CATIA V4 ! Long time no use (and wonder if it is still "intensively" used out there !). To my vague memory, it is something to do with ROLL FILE. Beliving it is caused by either the roll file is not declared properly or the roll file is full. Have a check up on that and...

    Chamfer dimension tolerance

    Hi RyanRun, To my understanding, tolerance is applied only to the FIRST/MAJOR dimension value of the chamfer dimension. Just check up the R16 online documentation and it still says the same. Enhancement Request, I suppose !! Therefore, if the format is Length X Angle, we then can have only...

    Drawing a Polygon in CATIA

    Hi there, Just an idea to make a Pentagon on sketcher. 1. With Construction mode on, draw a circle of any length. 2. Next draw a straignt line through its centre (and passing the circumference on both ends) 3. rotate the straight lines by an angle (360/5) about the circle centre 4. With...

    paper size and scale in v5r14

    Hi tiasimo, Yes, you're right! R13 and R14 behave differently on the modification of Scale while making a new CATDrawing. I presume that could be caused by the following reason (solely by my own observation). Please check it up with your TechSupport. In R14, we can now save our customised...

    paper size and scale in v5r14

    Hi tiasimo, In my V5R14, when I click Start + Mechanical Design + Drafting the Modify button is still up in there for which I can click on it ... is it the same or different in your case?? Cheers. Kennis.

    maintaining properties when doing operations

    Hi tiasimo, Yes, for what itsmyjob says, also to my belief, is what we can have today. We have to ask Dassault for such "enhancement request" ... >_< Well, I'm not quite aware of what other SW will perform in such situation, but at least in V4, there is a choice of STANDARD and SAME when I...

    Draft Anlisys on Solids or Class A Surface in V5

    Hi EEEmery, Sounds like we can have such functionality of adding our customised (non-standard) Drawing format in Standards from R14. Let's see ... Cheers. Kennis.

    Geometrical Constraints

    Hi there, As itsmyjob has alread pointed out, there are COPY LENGTH and COPY RADIUS for you to pick up when you're creating your line or circle respectively. While creating your line/circle, move your cursor to another line/circle, MB3+Parameters+Copy Length/Radius. Or supposing you've already...

    FD&T V4 -V5 migration / visibility

    Hi dean01, Can't ?!?! No need to say that you have FT&A license, haven't you? Try this one 1) View + Commands List 2) Look for the command "Annotation set switch on/switch off" 3) double click it 4) you should have it ... Cheers. Kennis Tang.

    FD&T V4 -V5 migration / visibility

    Hi dean01, It's me again!! Fairly confident that it can be done ... 1. File + New a CATProduct 2. Insert the V4 model into it 3. Move your cursor on top of the GD&T set 4. MB3 + Annotation set switch on/switch off ... 5. You can of course further migrate them by Copy the GD&T set 6. Then...

    CATIA v5 - CatDrawing dimensions

    Hi AeroDesign, The unit which you're using in PartDesign has nothing to do with what would be used in the dimension display of the dimension. Mutually exclusive, I think. When you create your dimension, you can change its numerical display description in the "Dimension Properties" toolbar on...
