I was trying to use sketch tracer without any joy - now I can! Thanks

Hi, I would like to superimpose a side, plan and front view from 4 jpeg files of the outline of a car(front, rear, side and plan), so I can use them as reference for my wireframe in GSD. I have seen this on a video on you tube. It showed the creation of 5 flat surfaces to form an open rectangle...

Thanks for confirming wireframe as the correct approach. I have started looking at `work on 3D support' but can’t get it to work as I thought it would. I envisage this to be a 3D grid system in which you could snap to each point in any plan/direction. This is hard to explain but I can only...

Hi, In my spare time I am trying to constructing full surface models of concept drawings of cars using V5. I am aware that a professional surfacer would use Alias or Icem to create free form `A’ class surfaces in industry but I want to stick with Catia! As a mechanical designer I am proficient...

Just realised another problem! Trouble is that In my BoM/parts list on my drawing I only whant 1st level of parts to appear (as in the spec tree in product) as would be normal on most engineering drawings. I think the problem is when you number the parts/products in the product, It numbers all...

Its OK, I have figured it out. Thanks - Kevin

Thanks for this. I need it to read - Number (from generated number command in product), part number (actual file name), Description (nomenclature) and Qty (No of parts - 1st level only). I should be able to figure it out, but only just started using VB, if you could help it would be extremely...

Is there a way you can customize the default AP203 format when creating a bill of materials/parts list for a drawing. You can define your own format, but when you close the model/session it is lost and reverts to AP203. Any suggestions ? Thanks - Kevin

Helps - Thanks

Hi, When clipping detail views in a drawing I use -clipping profile view-, problem is; a. When creating the clipping profile I want to use spline (not line as default) is this possible? b. To clip a detail view you need to create a closed loop. I only want the trim line passing through the...

Thats the one. Thanks Stely!

No. I mean a straight fillet with different rads on different edges.

Can you add miltiple sized fillets in part as you can in GSD? My help is not working! Cheers, Kevin

Thanks

Hi, Does anybody know the difference betwen a poly mesh surface and a Catia surface? I wish to import 3d studio or google sketchup files into catia to use as ref parts. Trouble is that when I export them into catia as Iges or STEP they are made up of thousands of suraces. I know its not a Catia...
