Transforming bodies
Transforming bodies
(OP)
Hi,
I have a multi-bodies CATPART and would like to transform them. When using the "transformation features" toolbar, I get a message that I should consider using the 3D constraints instead. How do I display the 3D constraints toolbar while in a catpart document? I only see it when in a product.
What is the "correct" method to move/rotate lumps that are in the same part?

RE: Transforming bodies
Can you be more specific? Your catpart is one which comes migrating from v4?

RE: Transforming bodies
It is a pure V5 part created in V5 (R12).
There are many ways to have more than one body in a single catpart. Insert-body is one of them. Copy&paste from other document is another.
Perhaps it is not recommended to work that way (is it?)
After having such catpart, how can I use 3D constraint?
Or is this set of tools work only in the assembly/product environment?
Hope this is clear now, Catia.
RE: Transforming bodies
This is not a recommended method. After inserting a new body in PartBody tree, try to use boolean operations (add, remove, a.s.o.).
You will have a single PartBody. As far as I know, 3D constraints exist only in a CATProduct.
