To get the inputs, you simply select the inputs you need out of the tree. If the product assembly is built correctly, by defining new inputs upon intstantion, the product will re-define itself on the inputs given. Typically, a min. is a point/plane/line, that and the entire assembly will need...

Yes of the 12-15 macros i have, 2 or three of them work, the rest do nothing. I have R20 and R22 installed.

Hello, I have several macros that I havent used in a while, which used to work fine, now do nothing when i try to use them. Also if i try to make a new one (from the portable script center), and run it, nothing happens, no error or anything. Any ideas what i could be doing wrong?

Hi, We do 3d mold designs in Catia, with an average of 200-300 different components. We export to an excel file for purchasing, which is no problem. Issue is when we send our 3d designs to our customer (usually in step format) and the BOM in excel, he has no way of correlating between the 2...

Holding shift with middle button is what brings up the triangular pyramid. I dont think its a setting

Looking for a simple macro that will take all of the XYZ locations i have in excel and draw them in Catia. I have found a few online, but they dont seem to work very well.

After PC is shutdown over night, it takes over 10min to get Catia to load up after PC boots back up. We have some PC's that this process takes only 2-3 min. I have run disk clean up and cleared out all Catia temp files, still no better results. Is this common, or is there a way to fix this.

if you are using R22, you can use the surface simplification command found in the GSD workbench

We recently just switched to R22 SP4. Has anyone else noticed how incredibly slow creating a bounding box or creating a pulling direction is as opposed to R20. What used to take us less then 5 seconds is now taking several minutes to compute.

which settings exactly would I look at or change which may improve this

We have a strange issue with stepping out files out of R22. It is extremely slow compared to R20. Anyone else having these issues. On one of our seats, we have the exact opposite issue

We have the same issue. We use the bounding from the CCV workbench. Works really fast. However, in R22, they changed it making it far slower, and it will not compute open shell bodies as it did before

Use Insert/Existing Component. You can multi-select all the iges files to import into 1 assembly file.

Good to know thank you. I've tried using the topology for search command before, but found it took a very long time to crunch and search for patches.

Not to mention, that the federation functionality is not available with a CAC+MTE license configuration (which we may be migrating over to-we currently have 2 seats of it) I believe this comes with GS1 as opposed to GSD
