Powerful Catia Tools

Powerful Catia Tools

Powerful Catia Tools

(OP)
I work at a small company with only a handful of Engineers.
I have started researching ways to increase efficiency with our designs because we are basically just using Catia without any aftermarket features like the big Aerospace OEMs have.

I have used this website and a few others to find some amazing tools.
These include:
Catia Portable Script Center
Time Saver Toolbar
SmartSort.exe
And a bunch of other Macros not in the above tools.

I am curious if anybody else could recommend any other tools i could use to help my department?



RE: Powerful Catia Tools

I don't have any suggestions, but thanks for yours!

Can you share the Time Saver Toolbar? I can't find it anywhere since the original links are dead.


RE: Powerful Catia Tools

Analyse your day by day tasks and decide what you want to automate. I believe people on this board will help. Do not think to automate every single mouse click :).

RE: Powerful Catia Tools

Ferdo could you please upload Excel file of Catia V5 commands. Where is a link for TST?

Ferdo,

The new TST works great, one question.
Is there a way to change the default unites on Export Point Coordinates from milometer to inch?

.... I had the feeling that one who is given some code would learn from it and shape it to his/her needs...

I am a bit disappointed to see a request for easy code change. Could you try first and see if you can do it? (I have the feeling you can, with not too much work, it should be easy... don't be shy..c'mon..do it..I'll help)

Open another post to show your progress or ask for help, if you need.

I already tried to modify it, because in my experience with macros that is an easy task.

But, the TST is not built with any scripts, which is the only experience I have.
I tried digging into the .dlls, but I was unable to get the majority of it readable.
As for the .exe, I have no idea where to start with modifying it.

If you could point me in the general direction, I will give it my best attempt.

RE: Powerful Catia Tools

DLL are Dassault... we don't touch them.
EXE is compiled and code not available (as far as I know) so only Ferdo can do the change.

you can check FAQ560-1377: XYZ of points to a text file and modify it if you need something.
