thread560-200193: Functional Tolerancing & Annotations
I rec'd catproduct and catpart files from my customer. The catproduct files are toleranced using FT&A .
How can I create 2d drawings for the shopfloor with these files?
Do I need a FT&A module?
Thanks in advance,
Ken

The FTA data exists, no FTA license needed. Follow Azrael's direction, you may get a warning message about incorrect standard. You may need to toggle the drawing standard from Ansi to ASME to ISO.....

When I try to copy from...Annotation Set..Views.."FrontView1". I get an error...The 3d view cannot be copied.
In Catia Help, it tells me to..............
1)Click View From 3D in the Views toolbar (Projections sub-toolbar).
2)Select a view from the 3D, either in the specification tree or on the part. In this case, select Front View.1 in the specification tree.
I have no (or can't see) "view from 3d".

"purchase the FT&A license".....Is a ft&a license req'd?
I've stumbled thru and created a documemt that looks like a print....I'm not quite there yet. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable releasing what I created to the shop floor.
I can create a mutli-view print and manually enter/create dimensions. Or I can pull in dimensions using "view from 3d" but there is GD&T info missing.
I'm just not getting what I need from FT&A. I can see the info, I just can't get it to create a 2d print for the shop floor.

tools-options-general-license list.....No FT1 or FTA
catia-start-mechanical design.....NO FT&A
Does this mean I cannot do what I have been trying to do, create 2d prints from a Catia file containing 3d FT&A?
RE: Create 2d drawings from catprodcut files using FT&A
This is purely a function of the FTA creating user, if they create 3d FTA with drawing creation in mind then 2d drawings will be a single click away. If they (and they usually do as it is less work for them (the whole reason for using FTA in the first place)) create the FTA with just the information required to capture the tolerance information on a 3d model then it is unlikey to create a good 2d drawing.

Cutting to the chase you are going to have to do some drawing work to get drawings of the standard you want.
