    How To re-arrange CATIA drawing sheets?

    As far as I know, the only way is to cut and paste knowing that the pasted sheet will end up at the end. It's rather annoying. I hope I'm wrong. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Copy part

    Note: If you "save as," the UUID won't change. Use "save as" and click the "save as new document" checkbox. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    V5R15 designed in context?

    It means you built a part inside and with contextual links to some assembly. Look at the tree icon. If it has a little chain, it's in context. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Aligned Sections on drawings

    ^^ I do what KooKoo mentioned. I sketch (in 2D, not 3D with sketcher) a line and then use it to create a section. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Properties of a sketcher for lofting..?

    ^^ Good post. * for you. I'll disagree on one point. Splines aren't the best choice because they have reversals. What he should do, IMO, is fit in conic sections. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is v5R15 multithreaded?

    AFAIK, only the batch mode stuff is multithreaded. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    frontal area calc from pic

    Are you talking about a CATIA generated manikin from Human Builder? I'm not sure if there is much you can do with them... I don't have access to that license right now, but have you tried projecting it to a sketch plane? Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    Crap... I made a mistake. It's 15.5+ and 16.GA+. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    You generally seem to be in-the-know sooner than I am, so I may have been misinformed. However, I did witness the above mentioned memory improvements. Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    "R15 in 64 bit only on AIX" Natively, yes, but there are the AMD x86-64 extensions built into r15 and sp5+ of r14 (allowing a little more memory). Lee http://www.lmco.com

    Catia V5 ..Can i create a draw view from a scene?...

    Yes, that, to me, is the main point of scenes. From the drafting workbench, chose to make a view like normal. Switch over to your product, and click on the scene before selecting a plane for projection. It's as simple as that. If you are in R14+, you will be able to modify drawing links to...

    Is it possible to run Catia V5-R15 on 64bit

    "No noticable advantage going to 64bit" I noticed that with r15 (and 14.5, for that matter) I'm able to get a single CATIA session to use 3GB of physical memory if I'm on Windows XPx64. I topped out at about 2.5GB on Windows XP. Lee http://www.lmco.com
