Hey All, Hope everyone is safe. Now, I did something while working on Catia V5R2019. I tried to use connect curve and ii can not pick end points. Tried creating lines and my mouse won't even find the end points. Tried to use extrapolate , on a line, and still, can not pick/find the end point...

Hey all, My company just started running Release 2019. Noticed that the balloon leaders disappear when we print or save a drawing as a PDF. I remember having this problem many years ago, but can not find the solution. We can attach arrows to the balloon and they'll plot out, but the leaders...

Hey All, I've been messing with rules and formulas and was wondering if there is a way to change an element from standard to construction and vice versa using an IfThen statement. Basically i want to have these points, in a sketch, that i can switch back and forth depending if I need them to...

Hey All, Is there a way to take points, in 3D, and output them and their ijk's to a DES file? I know, in order to get the vector, of a point. I need to create lines, at those points. I'm assuming this is how I'd get the IJK's. (Can't think of another way to do it.)But, after that I'm at a...

Hey all. I was wondering if there was a way to add another option to the source field (pull down) in the properties of a CatPart. We have Unknown/Made/Bought, but I want to add another I am having a problem finding it. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hey all, I'm having a problem using an excel file to add properties to a CATPart file. If there is a space or non-letter character in the property name then they will come in with quotes around them. We use these properties to run a B.O.M. program and the quotes cause problems. So, for now, we...

Thanks all. We were, finally, able to reset the hung up licenses and are going to reduce the offline period as suggested. Appreciate the help.

We are running R21 and R2012. I extracted the MD2 license so as to work from home and restitued it when I came back to work. Now the Nodelock License Manager shows I have no offline licenses. But, License Use Runtime shows that I still have the license offline. We tried running the I4blt -C...

Hey all, I'm trying to use parameters and formulas in order to fill out information in a .CATPart's property fields. We use the fields to create BOM's and having them fill automatically when we set up a angles, bases, etc.. will save us some time. The problem I'm having is that, I set...

I just started getting into V5R21. I've started working on a drawing and my cumulated dimensions are coming out wrong. They were set correctly for my previous version. (R18) But now they are jacked. I've been trying to fix the standards and am having no luck. So I have a couple of questions. 1...

Found out I'm an idiot. The simplest of answers is, of course, the right answer. Took me 3 hours and my boss 10 min. to figure out I need a vacation. Thanks to any who may have been trying to figure this out.

O.K. Here's the problem. Did work on a job and dim'd everything out in MM. Now, we generate hole charts when we draft out the tools. Of course, the chart is in MM's, But, the customer wants the hole chart in inches. Now, I've figured out how to generate the chart in inches, but it only goes out...

Got a problem. Working on a, somewhat, large job and now the only thing that shows is solids and text. No faces and surfaces are seen. They're not in 'no show' they just aren't coming up, yet if I bring the job up on another computer everything comes up fine. I'm not sure if there's something...
