Machined Part associated to Casting
Machined Part associated to Casting
(OP)
In CATIA is it possible to create a Machined Part off its Casting and keep it associative?
We are new to CATIA and are primarily familiar only with Pro/E. In Pro/E this can be done several ways; Merge or Inheritance are two methods.
Thanks in advance,
Craig

In V4 you can do a Solide > Import , but I can't remember the exact command.

Requirements:
1)the solid to be imported must first be PUBLISHed. Right mouse click on the tree and select PUBLISH.
2)the solid must be in a PASSIVE model in the current session.
Caution- the link to the casting will be damaged (yes, it can be easily repaired) if
1) the donor model's name is changed
2) or the donor's directory is changed
3) or the donor model is deleted
We use a sequenced chain of imports to show the manufacturing phase linkage between models.
