discovered a work around for this.
create a body and add the traveled body.
use a Boolean parameter to control the activity
would still like to know if it is possible to hide or unhide the original body
is it possible to hide a body within a CATPart with a rule?
i have multiple bodies within a CATPart body. the main one and a traveled one (paste as result with link and translations for the travel part of it).
there are multiple catparts in a product that i want to be able to link together...
Once you have used "Generate Numbering" if you run it again it defaults to "Replace" numbers. Is there a way to have it default to "Keep"? This illogical approach as caused problems that I would like to avoid in the future.
Siemen's NX (Unigraphics) has ordinate dimensioning like you show. Catia doesn't and you can fake it by turning off dimension lines and putting the dimension in line (or was that perpendicular). tried it once; just too much trouble.
Try starting from scratch. Create a new part and in that part create the multi value Valve parameter and an Angle parameter set to 45°
create a simple sketch that you can link Angle to.
create rule
if Valve == "closed"
{
Angle=0deg
}
else
{
Angle=90deg
}
this will prove the concept
I had it happen today at two diffent times doing different commands. one of the operations went like this
open extract, extracted edges. clicked ok.
open extract, extracted edges. clicked ok.
double click open extract, extracted lots of edges. clicked ok.
clicked cancel and everything...
try creating a view plane on the axis system before creating an annotation note
i have had no luck moving notes after they are created. i did manage to change the plane alignment but the note didn't move
you don't really delete it but hide it from the list
make sure the layer is not the current layer
use the drop down arrow on the layer box and select "Other Layers..."
pick on the layer and click delete
Thanks for the reply Fernando.
This example gave me what i needed.
As it turns out adding a selection.clear right after the selection.copy was the answer.
ActSel.Copy
ActSel.Clear
ActSel.Add(part1.HybridBodies.Item("Where I want it"))
ActSel.PasteSpecial "CATPrtResultWithOutLink"
I want to copy from one geometrical set to others based on the layer assignment in the original. i can determine the layer and create all of the other sets i need. I thought that a copy and pastespecial would work but it just pastes it under the first one in the original set. So how do you...
Hopefully this question has an answer. there are many really annoying warning messages that pop up like -
Warning
the underlying geometry is infinite. Complete untrim could not be performed.
Trimmed surface based on bounding box will be created.
OK
i don't (and many others agree) need to...
i have been away from NX for a little over a year as the place i was at went under and now i am a monkey using catia. i miss NX. (if i ever get back to NX i will never complain about the amount of mouse clicks again!!)
Anyway here is a little interface that simplifies the use of...
is there a way to adjust the size of the "more parts" window? it always pops up small and i have to stretch it to read the files as the powers that be at my place have found it necessary to have exceeding long directory structures and i would really like at least this one to pop up larger then...
