    [NX 9] Adding windage, fixing warped part?

    Hey guys, I'm new with fixing warped parts and adding windage. I've been given a part and the coordinates for each point on the top surface that deviated from the original model. All deviations/warpage is in the Z-axis. The previous designer has already added as many ribs as they can to...

    How to measure vertical distance between two features/points?

    Hey guys, new here in the forums. Though I'm new to CATIA, I do have experience in NX9. So my question is: how would I measure just the vertical distance between two features/points? Whenever I try to take a measurement, it gives me the diagonal distance. I know in NX9, there is a tool called...

    Hey guys, I'm trying to replace the texture of B&W Tiling material with an Image using a Cubical Mapping. This will allow me to trace a drawing and thereby create a 3D model of it. My problem is that I can't flip the Image within the texture. I've boxed the properties I'm referring to in the...

    Alright, so I have this project that requires me to input coordinates for the location of specific circles in a sketch on the XY plane. After finishing the sketch and saving my CATPart, everything is fine and works properly. Then after loading the CATpart again and starting a new sketch on the...

    Catia V5 Offset from plane

    Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Catia V5 and I am currently working on a pre-made assembly CATProduct file. I'm trying to create a plane using Plane Definition > Offset from plane. Once the face I want to offset from is selected, I click on the Plane icon to open up the Plane Definition. I then...
