    ENOVIA POwerBy Integration VBA Type Libraries

    Well, after a little deeper diver into the Object Reference it looks like class name and Type definition have some discrepancies. Dim oPLMX As PLMXEngine Set oPLMX = CATIA.GetItem("PLMXEngine") First hurdle cleared.

    ENOVIA POwerBy Integration VBA Type Libraries

    Does anyone have any experience with the PowerBy Integration VBA Libraries in CATIA V5? I have not been able to find any documentation on how to INstantiate the ENOIAPLMXEngine Class. Working in V5-6R2022 but haven't yet checked in Documentation for later releases.

    bom links

    Are placing the BOM on the Drawing "MainView" / "Background View" or as an element inside the view to which it is linked? In the past I have noticed that the BOM will not get triggered as out of date unless its parent is a View Containing linked geometry. You could also try typing: c:Force...

    CATIA V5-6 2019 start being very slow in loading assembly

    In the material library browser, from which you select the material to apply it, be sure to remove the 'Link to File' option in the bottom left corner. This will break the link between the material object and the Catalog from which it was applied. The Material object and its properties will...

    Warning message

    Do you have a 'Relations' set and Parameters set included in your PowerCopy? You might try adding a GeoSet with a Parameter Set and Releations set to the PC Definition. --Doug

    Enovia Viewer Launch File Issue

    CATStart.exe is a utility that launches a specified environment for the Application [CNEXT.exe (CATIA), DMU.exe (DMU Viewer), etc]. You can see an example of these be inspecting the launch strings of the default Launch Icons produced by the installations of each product.

    Search strings in macro

    Best way to do this in my experience is to manually create the search in the 'Find' command under the Advanced tab, save the Search as a Favorite Search, then edit the Favorite search to obtain the search you created manually.

    Assigning Weight and CG

    Search the forum or CATIA Online Documentation for Inertia Equivalents. Should provide the answer you need.

    Seeing Catia Model Build History

    In the Part Design Workbench, Edit Menu > 'Scan or Define In Work Object' should accomplish what you are looking to do. You can scan by Structure or Update sequence.

    Electric part design , cannot select multiple connections

    Once a CATPart Electrical Component is defined as a specific Electrical Datatype it is locked into that type (Single Insert Connector, Multi Insert connector, etc). To my knowledge, there is not a way to make a modification between connector types. The component will need to be recreated in a...

    Inherit 3D colors

    The drawn lines may have changed colors, though it can be hard to tell. If you are looking to create a drawing view that behaves like a Screen Capture, you can change the 'View generation mode' to 'Raster' then change the 'Mode' in the Options panel to Shading, or Shading with Edges.

    Inherit 3D colors

    I assume one of two things is likely the case: 1. There is a little lock icon listed next to that setting or 2. All of those options on that tab greyed out In the case of #1, your CATIA Administrator has that option disabled intentionally to prevent that option from being used at all...

    AXIS TO AXIS

    Why not make the Sketch a Positioned Sketch and create your construction geometry at Car Position? For Example: [ol 1] Create a Plane Through a Planar Curve at the Destination Axis System (assuming this is a mating hole location). Create a Point at 'Circle\Sphere Center' Create or Modify your...
