    Selecting tangent surfaces from solid

    Derek! although splitting or sewing is not always an option but your idea is brilliant and it works - thank you!!! something to keep in mind for future design. Cheers Peter

    Selecting tangent surfaces from solid

    Hello CATIA Gurus!!! Let me explain my question. I created a tool that will be used to lay-up carbon. The actual contact area between the tool and the carbon plies needs a higher surface finish tolerance. In FT&A we use a colour code system to define surface finish tolerances. This contact...

    pattern along curve

    define your points, activate sketcher, select the points from spec tree and click Project 3D Elements! Now these points are linked to a sketch...therefore you can use them in your user pattern. Works like a charm! Ciao! P.

    human builder won't remember positions

    Hello! FYI: I use catalogues to store all positions. works really well. Hope this helps. Cheers Peter

    Creating Points on CATIA surfaces

    hello wingstress! do this using your GSD lic! To get points: 1. Create planes (click Repeat object after OK) 2. specify number of Instances 3. Intersect the new GeometricalSet with your surface 4. You can now create planes in the other direction and repeat the process or use Points and Planes...

    Simple (hopefully) question about Isometric Views in Drafting

    Ciao! Try Tools - Options - Drafting - Layout - View Creation - check "View axis system based on 3D axis system". Not sure if this works because my "company" locked all CATSettings :-( P.

    Check lic use on UNIX

    Hello, How do you check who (what user) is using a certain (eg. PEO) CATIA license on a UNIX station. Grazie mille!

    Portal freeze when performing Cut link

    Hello CATIA users/admins! Scenario: 1. Start Portal 2. Search for PSN (No CATIA model required) 3. You don't have to open CATIA 4. Create bookmark 5. Expand PSN (eg. All level) 6. Perform Cut Link Operation on some parts Result: Portal will freeze during Cut Link operation! We have: 1. IE6...

    Section Cut???

    I just usually generate a temporary CATProduct, insert my CATPart into it and use Sectioning tool in Assembly Design. Then you can save your section as CATPart/IGS....

    Extracting surfaces from a CGR

    If you have DMU Optimizer you can get a triangulated surface. Create a silhouette and save as .model. Open .model - copy/paste as result. Hope this helps.

    Help with 2D drawing references/links

    Copy the new geometry to the ORIGINAL CATPart and try updating the CATDrawing. You "might" be able to save some views but not the dimensions. Or SaveAs the ORIGINAL CATPart then Copy-Paste the 3D geometry to keep same UUID and replace links. Honestly, I don't think you'll have much luck...

    product to part

    movia - If you have R17 you can select "Keep colors and attributes on subelements" from the Product to Part dialog box. This option keeps the visual aspect of the original data. If you do not select Keep colors and attributes on subelements, the whole solid takes the color of the original...

    product to part

    YES YOU CAN! 1. Open CATProduct 2. Change color of PartBody(s) or GeometricalSet(s) only! 3. Generate CATPart from CATProduct. Note: If you change color of the "Instances" it will not work! Hope this helps! Peter

    STL point limitations

    I did not realize that information, from Eric, was extracted from STL section. Maybe Peter should start reading the online docs himself. Cheers!

    STL point limitations

    My test results in Ascii free format: STL - 10,000pts OK! STL - 10,001pts "Too many points for this configuration." DSE - 4,000,000pts+ OK! Therefore, online docs are correct, BUT only for STL licenses not DSE. Maybe our friends in Suresnes should test before posting false information...
