    Getting input object from separate VBA module

    Hi everyone, I have a bit of a VBA rookie question. I am able to do long VBA programs, with single inputs, multiple inputs, loops, etc etc. But I'd like to start cleaning up my code, and avoid doing multiple copy/paste everytime to get my code running. So, question: How to I call and use...

    Hello everyone, Anyone knows if it's possible to create a NURBS surface in CATIA, by entering its mathematical definition? I know you can do it via CAA/RADE: http://paracax.byu.edu/content/creating-nurbs-surface-caa-rade...

    Reverse Engineer my guitar neck

    Here's my humble input: I am (was) a part-time luthier, using CNC to do my parts. Best approach is to do a full reverse engineering process, and go section by section. Rebuild contour, headstock, neck profile sections (1st fret, 12th, heel) etc etc. The real plus side, is that you can do...

    Grozeaion.com CATIA functions (FAQ)

    Sempre um prazer ver outros "tugas" por aqui, apesar de termos o Atlantico entre nos... Anywhow, I think I've found something. In the Freestyle module, there's something called "Converter Wizard". With this function you can convert curves and even surfaces to simplified versions. Meaning...

    Grozeaion.com CATIA functions (FAQ)

    Basically i'm trying to get a section of a surface, and try to improve the curvature for G1 and G2 continuity of those sections. Sometimes I need to correct surfaces that have some "waviness" on them, barely noticeable to the naked eye. But once you check them with the Porcupine analysis tool...

    Find and select all surface cones (primitive)

    Question: Is there a way to find and select all true cones in a catpart? When you use the "measure item" tool, and you hover your cursor over a given entity, it will show the type of geometry: . An "x" for a point . A rectangle for a plane . A curved line for splines . A mini cone, if the...

    Catia VBA multi-fillet?

    Thats actually a prettty good idea. So basically I would create a collection with said surfaces using a loop with a step 2 . Within that loop I could do the fillets, then come back, and with another loop do fillet1 + surface5 - apply second fillet - fillet2 + surface8 and so on. Then third...
