First Article Support in V5
First Article Support in V5
(OP)
I am in Quality, working with Catia V5. Is there a way, either within V5 or with outside vendor add on software, to create first article inspection FAI sheets automatically? What I am looking to do is take a drawing, assign each dimension, note, etc a ballooned number on the dwg, and compile these in a data table (ideally in AS9102 format). I really want this to be nearly automatic, where I just push the "FAI" button and all this work is completed.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Solution is CATIA script(macro) or CAA.

CAA is advance programming with V5. it is based on C++.
Things done with CAA should run faster, should work from one release to another.
Scripts (CATScript or VBA) are not as fast as CAA, and you need to check your code everytime you upgrade your catia level, even from one service pack to another ! I think that some function are not available with script.

Check out DELMIA V5. DELMIA has a CMM inspection product that is integrated with CATIA V5, but I've never used it. Your CATIA supplier should be able to help you.
