Hello All,
When creating a "Hole Dimension Table", is there any way to have catia recognise normal from threaded holes and fill in the table accordingly? I am having to edit the table afterwards to show the proper hole types. This has proven to cause some problems as somtimes we make mistakes or...
hello all,
i want to re-use a sketch. i am drawing a frame from channel iron. the frame will have around 7 different lenghts of channel in it. the sketch i have copied and pasted special with link. now, how can i constrain this sketch so it sits in different positions, planes, angles, etc. any...
Hello All,
Problem:
I have a product with many supplier items. most of these items are just dumb block solids which does not reflect the true volume of the item. eg. a pneumatic cylinder is hollow with a piston & rod. it also has mildsteel & aluminum parts. the supplier models most times dont...
Hello,
I am trying to analize the flex of a plate under its own weight when supported in all four corners. How is this done, as it will output nothing unless you put a force on top of the plate. Surely this can't be right???? Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I am trying to make a standard part so it can automatically name itself using the parameters inside the part file / tree. eg. if its is called "PIN-05-__-_x_". The first bit "PIN-05-" is set. Now I want to fill the rest of the _'s from 2 to 4 different parameters being sizes and...
Hi All,
Situation:
I have updated some of my library items. Many of these have been used in designs. I have kept the names the same and thier origins the same. All I need is to open my assemblies and have catia load the new updated standards.
Problem:
Catia recocnizes that the file is new and...
HELLO EVERYONE,
I HAVE MADE SOME STICKERS OR 2D-COMPONENTS TO INSERT "INSTANTIATE". I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THESE THINGS OUTOSCALE TO THE VIEWS IN WHICH THEY ARE USED UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. IOW, IF MY VIEW IS HALF SCALE, THEN I WANT IT TO 2x IN SCALE SO IT STILL, IN EFFECT, IS 1:1 IN RELATION TO...

Good day all,
I am trying to apply properties or rules to a parameter so when i edit it, in this case a line, and drag it by the arrows, it would snap in increments of 5mm or 10mm. i can change the step increments in the definition dialog. here it will then change if you use the up and down...
Hello All, (RE: CATIA V5R16)
I would like to set certain features in my model to active or inactive using parameters. So, I want to make a parameter/measurement and then i want the feature, in this case a hole, to "switch off" if under a certain lenght and "switch on" when over that same lenght...
Hello all. In Catia V5R16, i want to link two views together so that the one follows the other when it is updated, almost like a position link for text or like views when projected off another from the word go. I also need these views to stay aligned. (It's like an overlay of one view on top of...
Hi Guys/Galls, ever had it where your holes go missing in 3d part design, still seen in the tree, and still generates when creating views, just can't see it in 3d. is there some kind of repair one can do or run? please advise. Thanks, Gary.
Hi guys (and gals),
Does anyone know whether one can add shortcuts to the File -> open/save dialog on the left? We have one hectic tree structure for the different projects and it takes a lot of clicking to get where we want to be????
Hi guys, I need to bend some sheet metal. Is there an add-in or other program with which one can calculate the extra bend needed. eg. 90° angle 2mm thk result, would need to be bent at 92° to end up as required.
Any help will do.
Thanks, Gary.
What does it mean when catia prompts that a part is designed in context. This happens mostly while designing with links between parts in an assembly.
Thanks, Gary.
Hi All,
I am having a problem where my drafting is losing it's link to the model. When I try and replace the link, I see no links in the links dialog box. It seems to be fine for most of the time and then it suddenly decides to drop the links. It never really says anything about the links being...
Hi, I know that if you wanted to put text onto /into your model, you had to type it in drafting, copy and paste into a sketch and then pad or pocket. In UG it is possible to go and put text straight onto your solid. Is this possible in Catia yet? Or can one somehow type text inside a scetch?
