Machined Part associated to Casting

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

RE: Machined Part associated to Casting

If you are using v5 all you need to do is to copy the casting PartBody and use Paste Special > AsResultWithLink a new CATPart.
In V4 you can do a Solide > Import , but I can't remember the exact command.

RE: Machined Part associated to Casting

The V4 command is SOLIDE/CREATE/IMPORT.

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.
