I am sure it has been asked many times but I cannot locate exactly what I need. I simply want to export or transfer a catia generated table to Excel. The table was generated in the drafting workbench.
I have a single catpart that has published elements such as points and lines. I can normally select the individual publications to use as an external reference for a new catpart however in this case when I try to select the individual publications the entire part highlights. Any suggestions?
I have an isolated 2d isometric view in a catdrawing that I want to know what orientation it was projected. I am making a design change where I want to project an isometric view at the same orientation of the isolated view so I can superpose the two views. The original design was in V4 so I am...
I have a situation where I have broken links in an assembly so I am relinking documents using the desk command. This process is taking a very long time due to the number of subassemblies. The data is all under the same location so I don't understand why there are broken links to begin with...
We received a R24 update recently and I am noticing bugs when working with STL files I didn't see in R19. For example when I try to repair the mesh using the "fill holes" command either nothing happens or the "mesh" tool pallet disappears. Anyone else having problems with R24?
I converted a v4 model to a V5 catpart using the PLMV4toV5 migration utility. When I measure or dimension CATIA does not recognize the hole centers or radii. It appears the holes are just line segments. Is there a way to improve the solids so either CATIA or our cam software Mastecam can...
I have a STL file that was generated from a digitized part in Polyworks. I can import the STL file into CATIA V5 however when I create surfaces from the point cloud they are too small for our MasterCAM program to use. I have tried increasing the surface deviation but then the original surfaces...
I am trying to create a pocket in a solid using a surface as the profile but I get the error message:
"The profile is locally parallel to the extrusion direction. The extrustion cannont be defined at that place. Choose a profile and a direction that are not parallel." I have utilized this...
I have a mesh that was generated from a STL file using the "Digitized Shape Editor" workbench. The result is a shaded mesh but there are some triangulated holes in the mesh. I have tried using several ways including the "fill holes" icon but I cannot get them to fill.
Trying many values for...
I have a view from CATIA V4 that was projected at some random orientation relative to the global axis system. I need to be able duplicate this orientation for new 3d data in V5 so I can superpose the view from V5 and V4. The V4 view is isolated.
I know this is a common question based off my searches in theese forums but I could not find exact situation. To me it seems it is a basic function with other CAD systems but not CATIA.
A typical senerio:
I have a catproduct (call it catproduct 1) made up of several catparts. The catparts...
I want to be able to align a view axis origin with the global sheet origin in a CATdrawing. The best I have been able to do is get close by manually moving the view axis.
I stumbled accross a situation where I get descrepencies in weight measurements. I have two unique Catproducts. Each Catproduct has the same parts and quantity. The only difference is the parts are oriented differently relative to their respective global origins. All the parts have been...
I have a STL file and I want to use it as "cutting" element. So I am assuming I need to convert the STL data to surfaces. Is there a relatively simple way to do this? If not are there any other suggestions? I do have access to several different work benches such as "STL rapid prototyping"...
I have an existing model that cotains multiple points in space but it is represented in the tree by a single point. So when I highlight the single, isolated point in the tree all the points are highlighted in the 3d space. How was this done? It's as if all the individual points were "merged"...
The workstation I use recently was reimaged from XP to WIN7. After just a few hours I noticed the performance decreased overall. In general everything seems to take a bit longer to execute. Am I imagining this? Does anyone else have this problem?
I have an existing drawing with dimensions that were created using the "cumulated dimensions" icon. I modified the associated 3d model and the drawing geometry updated however their dimensions remain. How do you delete these dimensions without deleting the entire dimension string. I do not...
I received a step file of an assembly from an external company. My goal is to create an allcatpart for this assembly however when I try this I get problems when trying to use the boolean assemble command. I want to assemble all the bodies into one body. It works for all the parts except for...
