Parametric Dimension in Catia...
(OP)
I just started using Catia (though a long time user of SOLIDWORKS).
In SOLIDWORKS, if you model a part, when creating a drawing you could insert ALL the parametric dimenions onto the drawing from the Model..
Does anyone know if you can do the same using Catia???
Thanks

Likewise, you can make dimensions based on your 3D FT&A annotations by using the VIEW FROM 3D icon.

Instead of hunting around for the Generate Dimension icon, use INSERT + GENERATION + GENERATE DIMENSIONS to activate the tool.
The icon is shown in the pulldown, for the next time you want to use it.

Drawing:
Dimensioning:
Annotations:
Dressup:
Geometric Creation:
Geometric Modification:
and none of them have generate in them....
I do see under TOOLS, OPTIONS, MECHANICAL DESIGN, DRAFTING, GENERATION, a tab to set...
Oh, let me use SOLIDWORKS....This company is just a small sheet metal company, not sure why they have CATIA. Plus they offered NO training...

And how long have they had V5R9, out of curiosity? (I guess they just got it, right?)

I'm not sure if the old release didn't include it, or if it requires a license that your company doesn't have.
I think you're SOL with that release. Tell your company to upgrade to the current level (R17). R9 was about 5 years ago!
