Knowledgeware is naming for using functions (math), parameters, rules etc.... or maybe better, tools where you drive with math and logic
I would try to set up a parameter of angle type and control it with a rule, if the alfa exceeds 90deg the 180-alfa*-1
As this is a repetitive work you should also consider creating some power copies, a set of functions that you re-instantiate with new reference geometry.

If I'm not mistaken, no ,I believe you will either get the first value or the reverse component value.
Why? do you need it? you could use knowledgeware get the wanted behavior
I guessing that you don't have the composite module to design the hull. Boats are not my area of expertise but I can imagine multiple ways of doing this, variable offset function if you have it or doing multiple offsets and cutting them so you have a transition area that you bridge with sweep...
I'm guessing that you have a LUM license but from R21 the default license server is Dassaults own license server. If you have a DSLS license then you need to add hostname and port for the license server in a txt file named DSLicSrv (not sure if that is the correct naming) at the location...
Start with basic Catia to get the modelling basics and the feel for the system but then I believe you need to look into Delmia that is the manufacturing simulation brand... because I have learned (I'm no expert) that for robot cells and similar that you don't use Catia kinematics but rather...
I don't see your point, you are entitled to upgrade V5 to latest version and it's still alive. But if you want to move to V6 I believe there is an V5 to V6 program, where you trade in V5 licenses to get V6 licenses to a reduced cost, got the impression that that price is flexible.
Regarding the...
What I understand is that the change to the new designation is because V5 now is using the same 3d kernel as in V6, so V6 models can be translated with specs to V5 format. I also gathered that there are some news in the classic workbenchs PDG/GSD/ASD due to V6 functionalities becoming available.
If you have one of the tooling workbenches you could just position the bolt and let "drill components" feature do the drilling in all affected parts in the assembly. Another thought, can't you use assembly hole feature?
What about making two views? one view referring to the flex hose structure and the other view referring to the reference structure. Then superpose one on top of the other and if needed kill the link?? Just thinking out loud
mz7dyj, it's been out for a while but they dropped the two digit designation so R22 is V5-6R2012

Just checked your model and it's made on R17 level.... don't think you will find anyone here with that level installed. Current release is R22 or as they have chosen to call it now V5-6R2012, my point is that it is 5 releases behind and that an upgrade may be in place.
