CATIA V5 DRAFTING
(OP)
Hi everybody
I have a question for you. Is it possible to obtain in drafting workbench a 3d view projection with the same aspect( colors, shades) that in the part desing/ assembly workbench?.
Thanks in advance

What you need is to do is a ScreenGrab (Tools/image/capture) and save that image to a file. Then you put the image in your drawing (Insert / Picture)...

Isn't there a way to obtain drawings with automated colors ?
I mean without using bitmap images, so that drawings are scalable with no loss.
I need to create an A0 pdf with color drawings. I don't see myself manually correcting the whole CATIA drawing with Illustrator, just to track open-bound rectangles and assign them colors...

RE: CATIA V5 DRAFTING
I think in the most recent releases of CATIA you can choose "raster" as an option in the drawing view property box. I think you can choose to see the assembly colors in here as well, but there might be some more options in the "Tools"-menu for drafting to do this...

I created a new thread "Quality illustrations for manuals (V5.R10)" regarding this matter, with more details.
See you there.
>> sorry for the double post, I thought this current thread from 2003 would stay at the bottom of the list...

3D Colors does not shade the model.
RE: CATIA V5 DRAFTING
The shaded image is, by definition, a raster image. There is no way in a 2-D image to get anything else. Even the display on your workstion is raster. If you want a way to show the 3-D image to people viewing your tech pubs pages, I suggest you try something like VRML or 3D XML. There are some tech pubs applications available that work with CATIA using these formats. Look to Sogitec for one.

Catiajim, I simply need to publish 2D illustrations, not 3D.
Anyone has a clue about how to render perspective on 2D drawings ?
RE: CATIA V5 DRAFTING
You can only project an oblique view (isometric or axiometric). And you can project with the same colors as the 3D geometry (option = inherit 3D color) [with R14 - not sure about R10]
You can not render (shade and/or map material) in a drawing view.
