    Deleate Useless Elements

    Good Morning, We use delete useless elements quite a lot to clean up our parts. Sometimes we have geometry in our parts to help with assembly constraints. Like suspension pick up points for instance. We will often drop these into our model parts as dumb geometry. When we delete useless...

    Drafting Questions....

    A have a couple of drafting questions, hopefully somebody can shed some light; 1. I have just discovered that if you create a hole dimension table, it is not linked, so if the part is updated the table is not (very dangerous). Is there a way around this? 2. When using the "Cumulated...

    Drawing Template: Link Jpeg

    Hello, I have modified one of the catia frame and title blocks, but I would like to link a jpeg of our logo, and have it inserted in a specific place when I create my border. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, MechMan

    Sketch Text?

    Hello All, I am trying to write some text on a part in part design. We have a plastic housing, which we get laser etched, and I want this to be on the model as well. Is there any way of doing this (I am really hoping for a insert text option somewhere)? I don’t really want to have to draw...

    Drafting: Custom Threads

    I am currently drafting some special threads on a part. In part design I have created a text document specifying the thread names (Thread Description), and specification (pitch etc). I have then applied the thread to the part (Thread/Tap Definition). However, when I come to detail the...

    Feature Recognition Command

    Simple question, hopefully! When using the feature recognition command, is there a way to select all of the part, and get Catia to build the tree from it? At the moment I have to select every surface for it to work. Thanks

    SES Title Block

    Hopefully a simple question. I have downloaded the SES title block, and edited it to include our company’s information. However the titleblock is ANSI, not ISO. So when I insert the titleblock it’s the wrong size. Is there an easy way to edit the titleblock so it will auto fit ISO paper...

    Drafting-Extra Zeros

    Firstly, I apologise as I am sure this will have been covered before. But the search function is down at the moment. I am in the drafting workbench; here is what I would like to do, I want extra zeros to be displayed as defult. If a dimension is modeled as 3.41, then it will display 3.41...

    Imported Part, Build a Tree?

    Morning, Apologies if this has already been asked, or is a commonly asked question. I am a new Catia user, having been on Solidworks. Solidworks comes with a feature called Feature Works, if you import a .step file for instance, you can run this module, and it will build a model tree for you...

    Catia Reseller

    Afternoon, Can anybody give the name of a UK supplier of Catia? I am trying to get a quote, and finding it surprisingly difficult to track down a supplier. Many Thanks

    Copy Sketch

    I am trying to find a way of copying a sketch from a part to another part. The reason for this is because I sketch our company logo on some parts, and it is quite time consuming. So I want a way of effectively copy and pasting the sketch into another part, is this possible? The only way I can...

    Text Size

    I am having a problem with solidworks. It relates to the size of text on a templates of mine. The text is twice (approx) the size it should be. This was not the case before (I have just had to re-install solidworks because of a HD failure). The template text is the correct size on other...
