Multi-Stage Part Design
Multi-Stage Part Design
(OP)
Using Catia V5R19;
I would like to know if Catia has the "configuration" feature like Solidworks has? I need to design a multi-stage part, that I would like to show on different sheets without having to activate/deactivate features between sheets.
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

RE: Multi-Stage Part Design
A couple of options:
Use of sub-assy's.
Use Overload Properties on a drafting view. Overload properties allows one to pick details and set them to be used (shown) or not (hidden). We use this a lot. You can copy a view multiple times, then on each view use Overload Properties to show what is desired.

There are two ways you can get what you want, one would be to create a part that contained a body for each stage with each body being based on the preceeding stage, using paste with link (you will need to create technological objects if you are passing threads between bodies or parts). You can then create a drawing view based on an individual body. The down side to this method is all bodies must be visible for the drawing to visualise them, this can make an assembly very confusing. The other method is to have part for each body passing the previous body to the part via a paste with link. The down side of this method is you end up with lots of parts, but the assembly thing is solved. The best answer may be a combination of both methods where you have 1 part containing all the stages as seperate bodies and the final result is pasted with link into a seperate part for use in assemblies.
