    What do you use CATIA for?

    I work for one of the 2 main manufacturers of Passenger Trains and Locomotives in Australia. I have used Catia V4 for 6 years and Catia V5 for the last 2.5 years, all to design Passenger trains.

    How do filter elements draw elements in V5

    Rallydaz, You can't project individual bodies of a part file. The philosphy of V5 is, for instance, If you have 2 pieces of plate that get welded together, then you model them as 2 individual parts and insert them in an assembly and constrain them together. The philosphy being, when creating...

I was trying varous settings in Document Environments area in Tools - Options - General - Document - Linked Document Localization window.

    V5 Sketcher references

    Hi guys, Eric N is correct, when you project or cut 3D elements onto your sketch plane they will be yellow in color. This indicates that they are still linked to the 3D element you chose to project or cut. If the original 3D element is modified the projected or cut geometry will update to suit...

    Renaming of features in v5

    Hi amitkulk, There is no way that I know of that will automatially rename the sketches, but the sketch number allocated to the sketch by the program is only an identifier anyway. You should rename the sketches to a name that means something to you. ie. "Sketch 1" could be "Main...

    Adding Additional Features to Mirror/Pattern ?

    Hi sahir and tpale, Could you please explain why you think you cannot add features to a part once it has been mirrored or patterned??? I am absolutey sure you can add features to a patterned or mirrored part. I don't quite understand how you can't do it !!!! Cheers, Jakey

    ASSEMBLY AND DRAFTING

    Hi goodlook, In reply to the above questions and yours, If you isolate a view it will no longer be linked to the 3D model and therefore if the model changes then the view will not be able to be updated to reflect those changes. You CANNOT re-link the view to the model therefore the view is...

    Drafting Views From CGR's

    Hi Sapatak, In addition to the above, If you create any views with the "Generate views from CGR" checked on,you will not be able to create any section or section cut views from these views. You will only be able to create the normal views (Front,Top etc.) and detail views. Hope this...

    visual clipping frame size

    Hi ajangiz, I'm not quite sure what you mean but try this anyway. If you have the Origin of the view showing it will not allow the view to be reduced in size, just put the Origin (x,y plane) into No-Show and the view should reduce to the size of your clipping window. Hope this helps, jakey.

    Hi everybody, Just finished my C

    Hi toyayo, I have had this happen to me also. Try using the CATDUAV5 function on the assembly. CATDUAV5 is similar to the /CLN funtion in CATIA V4. I have found that it worked on some products and not on others. The only way round was to rebuild the product from scratch. This causes other...

    Surface/Wireframe extraction

    Hi mnj70, To extract a surface from a solid, change to the wireframe & surface workbench or the GSD1 workbench depending on what version of V5 you are using. On the OPERATIONS toolbar or in the INSERT menu under OPERATIONS there are 2 extraction tools you can use. The BOUNDARY function which...

    Open a CATPart from CATProduct Spec

    Hi Bennyk, At this time there is no way of opening a part up by selecting it in the assembly spec tree. I have heard through the grapevine that this option will be in V5 Rel.11 For the time being you can either use the DESK option or EDIT LINKS. Cheers Jakey
