    Part geometry not displayed in Assembly workbench (again)

    thread560-199500 Hi all, Before posting the question I did a search first and found that someone in this forum already had a similar problem 3 years ago, unfortunately nobody could help him at that time. Seems it's my turn now after having to use an older laptop: no part geometry is...

    How old is my V5R8 experience?

    Hello all, My last experience with Catia was with V5R8. I will have to use now from time to time R14. How much has the user interface changed in the meantime? Do I need to ask for training? (I hope not!) BTW I'm talking about the usual stuff (part/assembly/drafting/parameters...) Friedrich

    Update of boolean operations with solids ?

    Hello all, I have just created some bodies using boolean operations with other bodies (add) at the part and product level. Well, when I make a change to the original bodies the resulting "boolean" bodies just do not update. I must delete and recreate them. When I do the same using the "old...

    Catia V5: Trouble constraining inside sub assembly

    Hello all, I searched first in the FAQ page but didn't find a similar thread, so here I go. I inserted 10 instances of the same part inside my assembly and found things didn't look very tidy. If I packed them all inside a sub-assembly I would end up with a specific Catproduct file for it...

    Design table driving part instances

    Hi all, it's me and my silly questions again. I've got a part with different configurations (driven by a design table), and I'd like to insert several instances of the same in an assembly, each one with a different configuration. (by the way, something very easy to do with Sol****rks :o) If I...

    Why V4 and V5?

    Hi all, I'm just a quite recent V5 user and I just don't understand some things about the "Catia strategy". Why did Dassault launch the V5, and so many subsequent releases? Today many companies are still using V4. Did Dassault expect them to migrate to V5? Why do they stick to V4 anyway? And...

    View parameters/design tables on design tree

    Hi all, Some months ago I couldn't see any parameters or design tables on my design tree. I solved it by checking some option in the Options menu Well, I as stupid enough not to write it down! I'm faced with the same problem again, and this time I can't waste too much time with it. If...

    Bugs: time to clean CATSettings?

    Hi all, I´ve using the same W2K Catia V5R10 install for some months now, and the buggy things I´ve seen so far are: -2 or 3 sudden W2K restart (one every 3 weeks, I can cope with that :o) -the message "Brocken link" always with the same assembly (and a very simple one, for what`s...

    Partial surface of Bodies

    Hi all, I´ve trying to measure the volume of a Body in a Catpart. So far no problem: I´ve found the right function. But I´d also like to "partially" measure its surface. That is, the Body is faceted, and I´d like to measure the total surface of only two of its faces, not all of them...

    Catia electrical workbenches

    Hi all, I'm an electro-mechanical designer (more electro than mechanical though :o) I work mainly with electronic CAD packages, which are, compared with mechanical CAD, exclusively 2D (an have lots of library work) My question is about CatiaV5 electric workbenches (Electronic Board Design...

    Videocard trouble

    Hi all, I wanted to test CatiaV5R10 on my PC (AMD1800XP, 256MDDR and ATI rage pro 128 videocard) I know its not an ideal CAD videocard, but as I said, I just wanted to test and compare Catia to other software CAD I know. Well, Catia hangs VERY often and I am sure its the video card. Setting 8...
