text turned into pocket or solid then removed?

(OP)
Hi all,

In Catia can you create different types of text, then explode the text and use the text to create a pocket into a solid or can you create a pad of text? we current use a cad/cam pakage called Cimatron that can do this. Catia should be able to?

Thank you,

Ncman

RE: text turned into pocket or solid then removed?

Hello Ncman,

While I don't know of a way to do this directly in Catia, a company we deal with have written a macro that takes user-defined text and generates sketches for letters and numbers from a catalog of standard letter sketches.  These sketches could then be used to generate pads / pockets.

If Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at the age of 22, it would have changed the history of music...
and of aviation.
