    Ductwork Design in Catia

    Hi Jackk Thanks for the reply. I don't currently have the HVAC products, but I'm working on getting a license for it. I do however have the Generative Sheetmetal product loaded. I don't really know how I would design duct runs using that module though? Any quick suggestions? We do have a...

    Has anyone had success trying to draw/design ductwork in Catia? I’m trying to model in 20”+ diameter ducts, with all different angles (30 degree elbows, 45 degree elbows 75 degree elbows etc..) I’ve tried using part design with multiple part bodies, but then the ends/edge of my elbow doesn’t...

    LARGE Bill of Material

    Hi All, I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on extracting LARGE bill of materials from Catia. I have a large assembly (with numerous sub-assy's) with approx. 700 parts. I'm trying to produce a B.O.M. from Catia using the Analyze B.O.M. Even if I load the product without the actual 3D...

    V5R15 Explode problem

    Solid7... I checked out the Prog. Dir. cd that came with service pack 4 and could not find the "codes" that you found. There are many folders and links etc... However, I looked up your "HD3..." numbers and found a link stating that there would be a fix for the error in service pack 6 and...

    V5R15 Explode problem

    Service Pack 4 I've checked the program files and searched through the tools options and have come up with nothing! Is there some kind of setting for a distance between all exploded parts in the ass'y? Is this maybe set to a default of zero (0)and that's why it doesn't look like it's working...

    V5R15 Explode problem

    Hi All, Has anyone had a problem with the explode command NOT working with Release 15? We've recently installed this (R15) release and the “explode” command will not explode our assemblies. We've never run into this problem with any other releases.... Can anyone guide me on this one? Thanks...

    Drafting Section View Problem

    Hi All; Has anyone had this problem before? I'm creating a drawing from an assembly (approx. 60 parts) and want to add section views. But when I use any of the section view/cut icons (Offset section view etc...) my new section view has thick black lines/boxes around some of the parts. Does...

    Drafting 'Desk' window....Not found!

    I have a set of drawings, and I did a save as to rename them. Now when I open the “new-named” drawings they are all looking for “ONE” old drawing number. When I go to the “desk” window there’s the one RED drawing name/number it’s looking for…..but I do not want this drawing linked with all the...

    Mirrored parts and assemblies

    Fernando, So you're saying that I should use my original "left-hand" assembly and symmetry all the parts that need to be mirrored to make the "right-hand" part? However, you say that I should still keep both models/parts linked for modifications? If I keep this link, what happens if I need to...

    Mirrored parts and assemblies

    Do you mean Assembly "Symmetry"? I've tried a few things now, and most procedures have made my mirrored part into a "solid" which is useless to me, because my mirrored parts/assy's need to be available as there will be some modifications needed. Will this Assembly Mirror still leave the...

    Mirrored parts and assemblies

    I have a somewhat large (complete) assembly consisting of about 350 parts/sub-assemblies. The next assembly I’m about to start consists of all the same parts/sub-assemblies but they are all a mirror image of the first main assembly. Does anyone have any hints on how to mirror all these...

    Sheet Metal Design Program (Fold/Unfold)

    Does anyone know if you can use the sheet metal design program to unfold an existing profile/sketch? I know you can use the program to create a flat pattern and then bend up, but can you design from already bent to flat? Thanks Bacvar

    Renaming all parts within an assembly, using a suffix/prefix etcà

    Hi Ferdo, I've come back to my macro problem, and I thought I'd run it by you one more time, just to make sure I'm creating it properly. So here's the procedure on how I tried to create the macro and run it. 1. I went to Tools/Macro/Macros… 2. Clicked on Create… 3. Set the Macro language to MS...

    Renaming all parts within an assembly, using a suffix/prefix etcà

    Hi Fernando, I debugged the macro and when it was finished it pointed to the fourth line (win1 = CATIA.ActiveWindow.name) Does anything look wrong in that line? I am running Catia V5R11 right now, so the macro should work for me. Regards, Bacvar

    Renaming all parts within an assembly, using a suffix/prefix etcà

    Hello All, Thanks for all the input. Fernando, I tried your code for creating the macro. When I try to run the new macro, a Microsoft Visual Basic window opens which says "Run-time error… and gives me the option to 'END' or 'DEBUG'. Do you know what this means, and do you know why I'm not...
