    [NX 9] Adding windage, fixing warped part?

    Hey guys, I'm new with fixing warped parts and adding windage. I've been given a part and the coordinates for each point on the top surface that deviated from the original model. All deviations/warpage is in the Z-axis. The previous designer has already added as many ribs as they can to...

    How to measure vertical distance between two features/points?

    I have Catia V5. I activated Components in both 3D and the Panel, but I'm unsure of what to do from here. How do I select the direction/vector I want as "vertical"?

    How to measure vertical distance between two features/points?

    Hey guys, new here in the forums. Though I'm new to CATIA, I do have experience in NX9. So my question is: how would I measure just the vertical distance between two features/points? Whenever I try to take a measurement, it gives me the diagonal distance. I know in NX9, there is a tool called...

    How to paste a symbol onto a surface?

    Hey guys, thanks for the help! John, changing the tolerance and end distance fixed the problem, thank you! Also, one more question: is it ideal to simply change the tolerance for a problem such as this? I feel like its a simple shortcut around the problem. Nonetheless, thanks guys!

    How to paste a symbol onto a surface?

    Thanks for the reply John! I actually figured it out. I used Menu > Edit > Align > Best Fit or Point Set to Point Set to align the text and symbols with the part. And then I used Project Curve to project them onto the surface of said part. Anyways, I ran into another problem. I'm trying to use...

    How to paste a symbol onto a surface?

    I also forgot to ask, how would I apply a text for engraving onto a curved surface? I'm having difficulty keeping the text perfectly aligned with the surface.

    How to paste a symbol onto a surface?

    Hi guys, I'm trying to paste a circular symbol onto an angled face/surface. The symbol came from a different part, so its position is way off. How would I move it directly onto the face I want? Thanks for any help in advance!

    How to put text on a curved surface of a cylinder?

    Also when I try pasting, I get a non-connex error. I assume its because of the text I'm using. How can I create an outline for my text so I can close gaps?

    How to put text on a curved surface of a cylinder?

    I have created the 3D text by making drawing and saving as a .dxf file and then copy/pasting that into my model. I have a pipe that I would like to print text on, possibly using the pocket tool. How can I put the text on to the curved surface of my cylinder? I tried pasting the text onto a...

    Editing Material and applying an Image as the Texture

    Hey guys, I'm trying to replace the texture of B&W Tiling material with an Image using a Cubical Mapping. This will allow me to trace a drawing and thereby create a 3D model of it. My problem is that I can't flip the Image within the texture. I've boxed the properties I'm referring to in the...

    Error Detected: Selected element is a non connex element.

    Hi guys, I'm new to Catia and I'm trying to create a plane normal to a curve. But this error keeps appearing: What am I doing wrong and how would I fix this?

    My sketch keeps rotating?

    Alright, so I have this project that requires me to input coordinates for the location of specific circles in a sketch on the XY plane. After finishing the sketch and saving my CATPart, everything is fine and works properly. Then after loading the CATpart again and starting a new sketch on the...

    Catia V5 Offset from plane

    Thanks lardman363! I already made a geometrical set, so I guess the surface was just non planar.
