    Using Profile "All Over"

    When using the "All Over" specification with a profile tolerance, can it be restricted to a designated area of the part using boundaries? Or does the "All Over" have to apply to the entire part?

    Feature of size

    ASME Y14.5 and why so many questions? It either is or it isn't. We are simply trying to understand whether this is a feature of size or not and why. This is a forum to ask questions and gain knowledge, correct.

    Feature of size

    For some reason I can't upload an attachment??? But think of a simple plate of steel that is 4in round x .06in thick with a Ø.250 thru hole randomly placed. There is a dimension locating the hole on the surface from the edge of the plate to the hole edge.

    Feature of size

    I am having a discussion with a fellow employee with regards to Feature of Size. There is a flat part that has a hole in it and there is a dimension which is an edge distance from the edge of the hole to the edge of the plate (See attached). They claim this is a Feature of Size dimension...

    Thread XML file location

    How do I find the folder location for the thread xml files being used by Catia for hole features. I've updated (Added a new thread size) one of my specifications. I edited an existing txt file and converted to xml and replaced the existing xml file in an existing server location that I...

    Catia Toolbars - open off screen

    We have an R23 codeserve installation of Catia. When Catia is opened, several toolbars can't be found. When I go to Views => Toolbars it indicates the toolbars are open...but they are nowhere to be found. We tried restoring position, but that doesn't work. I deleted the user CATSettings but...

    Drawing view sketched geometry won't update

    I've created sketched geometry on a drawing view and added dimensions. When I double click on the dimensions to modify them, the geometry doesn't update (Move)? Is this a CATSetting? We've just recently upgraded to R23 from R21 and never had this issue before. The strange thing is, if I...

    SPA / DMU sectioning issue

    I've seemed to have tried everything within the DMU tab and nothing worked. I have not changed the background color. Where do I check the "Swap visible space"? Thanks

    SPA / DMU sectioning issue

    As of today, my DMU (SPA license) sectioning results have changed...and not for the better. Is there a CATSetting that effects the results of sectioning. Just last week, when I sectioned a CATProduct, each component sectioned in the color of the solid model. Now everything is sectioning in a...

    Standards - BOM update -

    I am not an IT person and was not involved in the setup and installation of our Catia, but here goes. I created our Catia standards back in V5-R16. They hace never been recreated, but simply copied to each new release. Come to find out recently, that Dassault actually made improvements to the...

    Dimensioning Text (Manipulators)

    When attaching text to a dimension with the use of the "Manipulators", can the spacing be changed between the text and the dimension. I can't seem to find anything in the Standard that will change this value. For example" 4X 2.250 I'd like to edit the spacing between the "X" and the "2". Thanks,

    Custom Toolbars available to Multiple Users

    I've created some custom toolbars in the Part Design, Drafting, & Assembly workbenches for some Macro commands. Is there a way to make these toolbars available to all users when they install a new release of Catia (Code Serve)? I don't want all users to have to create their own toolbars.

    Same part number / different file name, within the same assembly

    I have two subasssemblies that use the same rivet (same part number: xxx-xxxxx) with different installed lengths. We create different models with the installed length as part of the file name (example of file names: xxx-xxxxx_235 & xxx-xxxxx_250). However, for each file, the part number in...
