can I save Measure Inertia box
(OP)
Question about V5 Measure:
When I measure the mass properties of a part, CATIA displays a 3D box around the part. Is there anyway to save that box?
I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Hmmm... perhaps you could shed some light on this elusive feature?
I cannot find any such thing in GSD.

The ROUGH STOCK tool inside the Surface Machining toolbar should do the trick. Looks like it creates a transparent JOIN from several FILL surfaces.
Thanks KooKoo! (I'm giving you a star for this one!)

I can find it neither in the documentation, nor in the commands list.

I think you may need to have one of the NC manufacturing licences selected to be able to access the Surface Machining Tools toolbar. If you have access to one or more of these licences (e.g. 3-axis machining or prismatic machining) simply enter GSD, go to View + Toolbars and switch it on. When I checked the documentation, the commands were listed under the NC manufacturing pages, but the toolbar appears in GSD for some reason.
Mmmm.... Not sure about your suggestion in CATBlog. I've no objection to helping out anyone with a specific problem regarding scripting in Catia V5, but a lot of scripting is very specific to a company's business processes - I don't think any boss would be too happy for his designers / developers to simply fire their work out on to the net for anyone to have a look at.

"Yes, Brain, but isn't that dangerous?"

The point is - for those of use who develop scripts for ourselves, to share with others, thus ensuring that the script is free to evolve and be easily found from job to job. Or, just to spark an "open source" type movement. We can free up burden on programmers, get tasks automated quicker, and even help other people to learn in the process. Most companies don't put much emphasis on the automation workbench, and most "management" types don't understand, therefore, they tend to not see any value in it.
It's a shame that more people don't know how to use scripting, and that companies don't place more emphasis on it. I don't like the idea of sharing, and learning. If we have a user resource that's "of the user, for the user, and by the user," we'll go a long ways towards changing attitudes, and turning out better quality Catia users.
