    Can anyone decipher V5's Draft Analysis???

    Well I'm having issues with Draft Analysis again, but now In Rev. 13. I first posted my question in regards to draft analysis back on R12, and got everything working. In R13 however, some features look good and others are coming back as dielocked, when they are obviously not. Has anyone...

    VB scripting - how to address a Product?

    Modifing it to CurrentDoc.parameters, does make it work, except it add the parameters to the product, and not my active part, I would like to be able to add my parameters to my active "catpart" even when in designing within a product. Thanks for your help... -BsurfN99

    VB scripting - how to address a Product?

    Thanks, I haven't been able to really see if it works in the context of my assembly though, because I can't seem to get my parameters to connect. I get an "Run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method" This error occurs at the *** line. 'find product and part...

    How to set export units for a DXF file?

    Thanks, I overlooked that setting, being that I was exporting. In my quest to fix this issue I found that if I set my paper standard to ANSI that worked as well. ASME = mm ANSI = inches Thanks again. -BsurfN99

    How to set export units for a DXF file?

    I have a .Catpart file that was done in inches. I need to create a .dxf file of the profile, no problems exporting it. But when I go to check it, it seems that my .DXF file seems to be exporting as mm's. (My part comes in much smaller) Is it my importing or exporting that is resizing it...

    Setting your "New Part" file to your standard start file.

    I actually already have the "VBS for dummies" book, it's just a little slow going, being that I am first and foremost a designer not a programmer. One new question regarding VB in catia though. Is there any special module you should have in order to create these macros? I have an HD2...

    Setting your "New Part" file to your standard start file.

    I have a standard start file for V5, it has several standard parameters and standard bodies, (already named) it would be nice to replace the "new part" file V5 pulls up with my standard part. Is there any way to do this? The only issue I see as a concern is that my new parts would all start...

    V4 details conversion to V5 Catalog part problem.

    I have a library of Catia V4 "details" that I would like to turn into a library of V5 "Catalog" parts. Because I don't have to modify this parts, I have been doing a "paste result" for my V4 to V5 conversion. My issue is that when I go to create a catalog part, I don't have anyway of selecting...

    Surfacing errors can't heal or close a joined surface. - Help

    I agree with both Catiajim and toyayo, Translating only causes headaches, and I will continue to pray for the poor soul that will recieve this file, I have recreated more surfaces than I would care to admit, in an attempt to improve the quality of the part. Unfortunately we are all dealt a hand...

    Surfacing errors can't heal or close a joined surface. - Help

    yes, I did check for duplicated surfaces, and did not find any. I have found a gap between two surfaces, but even once I fixed the gap. I still can't complete a healing operation on the join. I get the "invalid geometry" error. -BsurfN99

    Surfacing errors can't heal or close a joined surface. - Help

    for starters I have a really poor surfaced model. It has been translated several times and my instructions are to make the changes as fast as possible without redoing surfaces. I have a joined surface with a merge distance of .007mm. I get an error when I try to "heal" the surface saying...

    Can anyone decipher V5's Draft Analysis???

    Can you do a "Draft Analysis" within a Product, or do you have to be in a Catpart only? In my trouble shooting I notice that in a Product, (while still being active on my part) Draft Analysis would not work correctly, but seemed to work fine when I was working only in the Catpart. Any...
