Catia V5 dissapeering holes.
Catia V5 dissapeering holes.
(OP)
I think i posted this in the wrong place earlier. I have a Catia part that has a series of countersunk holes in it. When make a drawing view from this part all the holes do not show. Any ideas I have a feeling it is something easy to fix. I Have been using Solidworks for a few years. The company I work for is going thru a switch to Catia. I hope I posted this in the correct place. Any help would be appreciated.

If this doesn't help, try posting a screen shot of the 3D model & the generated view. Or perhaps someone else has run into what you're getting & can comment directly.

Here is the generated view.

I have messed with the dress up setting some and that dosent seem to be doing it. I was wondering if there a setting in the model when making holes or features that you can "turn them off" in the generated drawing view?

I have seen strange behavior with solid before.
a solution i had was to add a Boolean operation with an empty solid.

RE: Catia V5 dissapeering holes.
1. What is the Defined Work Object in the 3D Model? Maybe it's not the last feature of the solid, making the drawing only show features down to the underlined feature.
2. Check the view properties (bottom of the page) to make sure it is not set to ignore features that are larger than the hole size.
I agree with Eric that deactivated last features might be the cause. We've seen this before, but it usually makes empty views instead of incomplete views. We always activate or delete the feature. Never heard of the empty Boolean trick before.

RE: Catia V5 dissapeering holes.
If making the last feature in the list as 'in-work object' causes the holes to disappear, then somewhere you have a feature which puts material wherever the holes exist. Either reorder your features or eliminate the offending features and your drawings should generate fine.
What feature is causing your holes to disappear?
