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...
How do you set up sheet formats with title blocks. What I want to do is two things. Like starting from scratch except I already have an existing title block I want to use with company name and all that.
1. I need to set up the drawings with title blocks on them, a,b,c, and d size.
2. If needed I...
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...
Is there a way to tell if a .catpart is fully constrained in a product by looking at the tree? In solidworks you could tell at a glance, the undefined parts had a minus symblol in front of them.
Is there a way to create and save a bom format? The format always reverts to the default (AP203) and changes the bill on the drawing. We currently create a new view in the drawing and insert the bill into it (after modifying the format to our standards) then lock that view so the bill does not...
