When I copy drawings or parts of drawings from the drawing viewer and paste them into the sketcher workbench, the geometry is not in the the proper position in relation to my other sketches. I've tried selecting and dragging the geometry but that does not seem to work. Is there a way to...

Hello, Anyone have any experience exporting STP files to Rhino? I want to know if there is a way to export to an STP (STEP) file along with the CATIA part names? I'm importing the STEP file into Rhino and I'd like to have the blocks (in Rhino) maintain the CATIA part name rather than the...

Does anyone know of a good (free) file reader for Digital Project/CATIA files (.CATpart & .CATproduct)? I want to be able to show prospective clients some 3D models without having to use the Digital Project/CATIA application. Thanks. Peter

I'm trying to use the generative shape design workbench and it is my understanding that there should be an open_body branch added to the Specification Tree when you are working in this workbench, and this is where all the wireframe geometry should be placed. I don't have an open_body, just...

What do you mean when you say "grab the design table and all the parts in the list.?" Which list--the part tree? Appreciate the help.

I want to update from the assembly if it's possible. I've tried edit--links in both the assembly design and part design workbench but I still can't synchronize nor can I select elements. Which type of elements should I be selecting--sketches, part bodies or parts. My design tables show up in...

The "synchronize" button is not available. When I try to select the sketch I get the message "Element has no external links."

My parts are part of an assembly but not part of a catalog so I guess I'm just using the design table. pedro

How can I get my part to do auto update after I change parameters using a design table? The sketch and part don't update unless I open and close the sketch in the Part Design workbench. Is there any way to just have it update in the assembly design workbench? I've got my options set to auto...

How can I create a muti-section surface from the following two profiles? Pedro

My multi-section surface tool has dissappeared! I can't seem to locate it any longer. It doesn't seem to be buried anywhere. I found the multi-section solid tool but not the surface tool. Is there a command or a menu item to bring a tool to the front. I have other multi-section surfaces in...

Thanks. I figured it out. I was looking at the wrong set of tools. I was looking at dress-up features instead of surface-based solids. pedro

Thanks. The only problem is my dress-features tool bar is dimmed (greyed out). How do I turn it on? Peter

I'm trying to create a thin solid from a multisections surface. I'm using the pad tool thick but I can't figure out how to define the direction of extrusion. Is there something other than the pad tool I can use to give the multisections surface thickness? pedro
