New user trying to see constraints associated with a particular part
New user trying to see constraints associated with a particular part
(OP)
Hey, I've only been using Catia (V5R20) for a month or two. I used Pro/e for the last 9 years up to Wildfire 4. I'm trying really hard to not get frustrated, but it isn't easy.
Most of the assemblies I'm working with now I did not create. So, at first I have no idea how they were constrained. I would like to click on a part and quickly see only those constraints associated with that part. Is this possibly? Right now I'm either arrowing down through the tree, or clicking on green dots in a see of green dots, hoping for the right one.
thanks!

Renaming each instance also helps understand what each constraint is associated to.

Right click on the tool bar, then Customize/Commands/All Commands and scroll down for those two.
So far I'm liking the grouping. Except that it's just a little harder to see the yellow exclamation points that seem to pop up every time I sneeze...
I just started at the top of my tree, highlighted a part, clicked "component constraints", which highlights all constraints associated with that part (just like diving down throught the menu), then click "group in a new set", which then creates a new branch and moses those constraints in it. I then rename the groups with the part's description. Worked my way down through the tree, so that constraints were associated with the child part...
You can still highlight any part, click "component constraints" and it will highlight them wherever they are.
