I have a plate that has a constant thickness of .500". However I have a maximum and minimum length and width I can use in my application. I created the plate with two length parameters with multiple values one for length and one for width. I can select the parameter and choose in a drop down...

You are right it as it turned out I had lines and points used as boundries in my model once I deleted all of those the problem was solved. Thanks.

I am attempting to do a join of a surface model in Catia V5 so that I may convert it to a solid model. After recreating surfaces and retrimming surfaces I tried to join the surfaces and got the following error message. Incoherent Join Specifications: Selected elements have not the same...

I am trying to create an assembly with a pin and a solid to remove that represents a C'bored hole subtracted from a solid block. I want to be able to rotate the C'bore by what ever degrees I choose. I have created a rotation line under construction geometry that is Angle/Normal to curve. I then...

I am new to Catia so this may be a simple question. Is there a way to replace a component in an assembly using the replace command and have that new component come in and maintain links to parameters or formulas within that assembly?

I am new to Catia V5 and in the process of creating a parametric assembly. This is one of the many problems I have encountered. Loop design between geometry and constraints. Can anyone tell me what this error means exactly and how I may get around it.

Step file has size to it and actually came into SolidWorks ok. I may be able to work with this iges file I brought in. It has the parts tree and looks ok. Thanks for the suggestions.

I exported my assembly from SolidWorks as a step file. However once I opened it up in Catia V5 I have a part tree but the assembly isn't displayed. Any ideas?

I use a program called CADdoctor which has a Catia V5 plug in. I bring a model file into the Catia V5 plug in and convert it into a Catpart file. Next I export the Catpart to CADdoctor and heal and stitch any gaps. CADdoctor has an export option which lets you select SolidWorks as you target. I...

I have an assembly that has gone from Cadkey to SolidWorks and now my Supervisor wants this assembly detailed in Catia V5. I exported for SolidWorks as an .iges file and opened in Catia V5. Under the compatibility iges tab I selected map 308/408 iges entities onto a products structure because I...

I have encountered another problem that one of you may have a solution to. I positioned holes using the hole wizard on contoured walls. When I used smart dimensions to position them the dimensions displayed on an angle. So I used the x y parameters in the hole specification window. The problem...

You know I tried that and now I get an error message saying no body selected for feature scope. What is that about?

Here is my problem I have a tapped hole location that is offset from a drilled hole positive x .625 I am trying to change the offset from the positive side to the negative side. What I tried was typing 0.0000394 to move tapped hole to center of drilled hole or equivilant of 0.000 and next typing...

You are right in that particular picture the point isn't at the lowest side. The reason I gave him the star was because I did the split line and had my plane going in the right direction and was able to pick the side with the lowest point. Hey all of you deserve stars and I appreciate all of the...

Is there a way to measure using some surface deviation tool from the flat backside surface to the farthest point of the contoured hole?
