creating a symmetry
creating a symmetry
(OP)
hi,
How can i create a symmetry of a part that has 100 part bodies, and I don't want to creat a symmetry of 100 part bodies..is there a way to create a symmetry of the CatPart without creating symmetries of individual part bodies in a part? perhaps in an assembly?
except, the symmetry function in the assembly work bench only allows you to create symmetry of the first part body.
thanks in advance.

I can follow the example in the manual with respect to the rotation and translation of the door/wheel assembly. If I try to use the symmetry option I get the error of
Door.1 Symmetric product not created or initialized
Pane.1 Symmetric product not created or initialized
I find it hard to believe that big bad Catia cannot handle a -1 to geometry!

One thing to look for in Tools --> Options --> Infrastructur --> Part Infrastructure, is the option "Only create links to Published Elements". This option will result in a failure of the Assembly Symmetry, as CATIA is trying to create linked copies of each of your parts, but the solids probably are not published. You can either publish your solids, or turn this option off, and it should work.
