Catia - Import .dxf, then snap to point
Catia - Import .dxf, then snap to point
(OP)
Hi,
I've just started Catia (used to using AutoCAD and Solidworks).
I'm trying to quickly build a fairly accurate 3D shape of a tool based on the 2D drawings I have.
I'd like to import the three 2D drawings I have on to the xy-plane, yz-plane an zx-plane. I'll then pad the xy-plane sketch to be oversized, then reverse pocket the remaining two planes. This should build a pretty accurate 3D model of the tool...
HOWEVER, I'm getting stuck at the first hurdle and can't figure out how to snap the 3 sketches to align with each other! I have a reference point to snap to on each drawing. My plan was to snap them to the center xyz point, but I can't even do that.
I'm certain there's a simple solution. Please Help!
