    3DExperience

    They are very similar I think for a lot of things. I don't know teamcenter enough to tell you what could be the differences. However something I'm sure of : if you can have a PLM from the same company as the CAD system, it's better (true for Catia or Solidworks + 3DX or Teamcenter + NX or Solid...

    3DExperience

    Hi, the main difference between Catia V5 and Catia 3D Experience is the fact that V5 is offline (you work on your local files) and 3DX is connected so everything you do is stored on the cloud. The search is then easier (if you fulfill the attributes of course) and you can still organise your...

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    Hi, I was able to use the Trace function successfully ! Thanks again. Now I have another problem because on my computer the trace file create has a weird name (it uses GMT time even though my laptop is set to eastern american time) but I found a workaround by declaring a user file for the...

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    Thanks, I'll check the Trace function. If I can make it work that would be so helpful. Thanks also for your last remark/advice about user interaction ;)

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    Here are the sample more than simple macros to test (with the part).https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=20b56244-bfe8-409e-9448-2bd0a707371c&file=TestParts.zip

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    I guess it depends on the conditions of the law and some settings. I join a part and a screenshot of my settings. If I open this part, the law is evaluated and therefore the according macro is launched. The macros should be in D: but you can change the path in the law if you want...

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    No I didn't find any solution to avoid evaluate the law when the part opens (it's always evaluated because of the conditions I have inside and I can't change those conditions). I tried the search through each body to find the potential linked element. I still have an error somewhere but the good...

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    I use the LaunchMacroFromFile function because I can't use Run with parameters as I said as it means that the script is in the tree (which means that you must have the KWA license in order to create a script action). I also tried to send the value of the path to a parameter but the way the law...

    How to know if a document is opening ?

    Hi all, I have this weird question because I created a law in my part that launches a CATscript macro. This law is automatically evaluated when the parts opens (during its opening). By the way this is exactly what appvid was trying to do in this topic : thread560-364824 (I can explain that in...

    VBA macro to get inertia on body won't work

    That's crazy, I never thought it could be this. Thanks a lot once again.

    VBA macro to get inertia on body won't work

    Hi, so here's the thing : I wrote a code that is supposed to give me the inertia (and it does get the inertia object) of a body and then retrieve the center of gravity and inertia matrix values. I followed the help and as I said I can get the inertia object. However in my code, I'm unable to use...

    Run a VBscript in a parameter formula

    By the way I found what I need in a law (not a formula) using a basic useless law with two formal parameters (because it's needed in a law) and then I was able to use other tricks to launch my macro with LaunchMacroFromFile.

    VBA Create a Fog Law and add formal parameters

    I need a law because I must be able to update some properties if the body or material changes and I can't use a knowledgeware rule. So as it didn't work with the spaces and accents, I decided to rename the main body and the Material parameter to avoid using "`" (even though I'm still getting...

    VBA Create a Fog Law and add formal parameters

    That's what I thought, thanks. I have another question about laws and writing it through a macro. You may have understood that I'm french and mostly working with french version of Catia. So the parameter names and other stuff are localized but they contain some special characters like the space...

    VBA Create a Fog Law and add formal parameters

    OK, I can still be interested in the solution to create a formal parameter of type VOLUME because it could be useful to other people but I found my solution. I tried simply to add my smartVolume function inside the law and it works. In my case I have to launch a CATscript so here's the law : if...

    VBA Create a Fog Law and add formal parameters

    Hi, I've been able to create a law with VBA code and add Length parameters. However I need to use a VOLUME parameter and it doesn't work. I can do it manually (create the law and manually add the volume formal parameter) and my law is working. However when I do it with VBA, it seems that I can...

    VBA Create a formula in a user property to get material name

    Thanks for the code then, and for the answer. So it's basically what I'm doing (to guess stuff) but you're more experienced than I so you probably can figure out stuff faster :D I also find the knowledgeware browser not very friendly but I can use it when needed (I just think it would be more...

    VBA Create a formula in a user property to get material name

    Wow, thanks a lot. That's probably what I didn't know about the framegeneral.CATsettings : ' read 30th byte after UserInterfaceLanguage that stores language However I'm not sure I would have found the way to do that even knowing this thing. The other Sub/Function to get the local specific...

    VBA Create a formula in a user property to get material name

    Thanks all, I made it work anyway yesterday but Little Cthulhu gave some interesting clues. First the "Parameters.GetNameToUseInRelation" is awesome. I found a way to detect Catia UI language in order to adapt to 4 languages because I already knew that the name in the parameters list is...

    VBA Create a formula in a user property to get material name

    Small update here but I'm not more advanced. I though it was because I didn't created a variable for the formula neither the keyword "Set" and maybe even the wrong characters to embed the Matériau text but not. So here's my latest iteration which still doesn't work : Sub CreateFormula(oParam As...
