The IT department moved the catvba file from one network drive to another, deleting the old location. Using the Tools>Macro>Macros… Alt+F8 in the pulldown menus, the process is hung while a Microsoft process identifier show CATIA.exe repeatedly looking for the old path. After an hour or more...

Thanks. kantoku and Little Cthulhu. I can adapt that into the code I've got and be able to work with it accordingly.

I did a search for Active Macro Path. What I am looking for is an equivalent in VBA for CATIA done in VBA for Excel VBA: Show workbook location Sub DisplayWorkbookPath() MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Path, vbInformation, "Workbook Path" End Sub Can something like this be accomplished within a VBA...

Plan B

Thanks. You honed right in on what I glossed over compiling my question.

Will this control the width of a rib or an groove along a basic path identified from end A to end B while ensuring the center of the rib or groove is within the prescribed tolerance zone? An extension of principle derived from illustration shown in ASME Y14.5-2009 Fig. 7-29. The datums, while...

Because the drawings currently stipulate MMC and MMB's. - as to being more specific, I'm still trying to frame the right question. I've been going thru some older notes on applying this stuff in stacks, and realized there was not an example given the Projected Tolerance Zone as part of a...

Perpendicularity is a refinement, agreed, when applied within the positional tolerance zone. I'm trying to understand the relationship between the hole location before a dowel is pressed into it, and the dowel positioning and orientation after pressed. I think I now see that the MMB for the...

Pins being pressed into the parts are showing a 'drift', rather than assuming the c/l of the hole being pressed into. The hunch is that the application of the PTZ to refine the perpendicularity is allowing it to actually be fabricated with the 'drift' predisposed into the process. Picture the...

***** image 3 correction ***** ***** image 4 correction ***** That was missed after converting the O.D. of a wall from the ASME example to the I.D. of a hole in this variation. tim_member, the part thickness adds a divisional branch into the approach. Keeping the PTZ of 5 mm, how would a...

I'm hoping these are fairly straightforward. ***** Image 1 ***** ***** Image 2 ***** ***** Image 3 ***** ***** Image 4 ***** Is there an approach to calculating the Maximum Material Bound when the Projected Tolerance Zone is only used on the positional geometric control or just the...

So, as it is spelled out here, the callout is obsolete, so it is not likely a legitimate callout as it is a recent vintage drawing. For pragmatic purposes, in order to provide a V.C. value to work with, it equates to 6.003-0.0025=6.0005 V.C. per archaic interpretation, with the parallelism...

CheckerHater, You write "former practice" — as in established by precedence, or indicating an obsolete and archaic usage?

There is allowance for a Datum Target Line in ISO GPS. This would be an example of a static case. The callout being inquired about is described as a dynamic case.

The diameter 6.0055/6.0030 is identified as a feature of size Datum H. Datum A is shown on the leader line opposite where the parallelism is called off. So far, it is a hearsay verbal explanation of what the drawing is "supposed" to mean. Instead of "What is the Virtual Condition?", the...
