    Using Profile "All Over"

    When using the "All Over" specification with a profile tolerance, can it be restricted to a designated area of the part using boundaries? Or does the "All Over" have to apply to the entire part?

    Feature of size

    I am having a discussion with a fellow employee with regards to Feature of Size. There is a flat part that has a hole in it and there is a dimension which is an edge distance from the edge of the hole to the edge of the plate (See attached). They claim this is a Feature of Size dimension...

    Drawing view sketched geometry won't update

    I've created sketched geometry on a drawing view and added dimensions. When I double click on the dimensions to modify them, the geometry doesn't update (Move)? Is this a CATSetting? We've just recently upgraded to R23 from R21 and never had this issue before. The strange thing is, if I...

    SPA / DMU sectioning issue

    As of today, my DMU (SPA license) sectioning results have changed...and not for the better. Is there a CATSetting that effects the results of sectioning. Just last week, when I sectioned a CATProduct, each component sectioned in the color of the solid model. Now everything is sectioning in a...

    Standards - BOM update -

    I am not an IT person and was not involved in the setup and installation of our Catia, but here goes. I created our Catia standards back in V5-R16. They hace never been recreated, but simply copied to each new release. Come to find out recently, that Dassault actually made improvements to the...

    Dimensioning Text (Manipulators)

    When attaching text to a dimension with the use of the "Manipulators", can the spacing be changed between the text and the dimension. I can't seem to find anything in the Standard that will change this value. For example" 4X 2.250 I'd like to edit the spacing between the "X" and the "2". Thanks,

    Custom Toolbars available to Multiple Users

    I've created some custom toolbars in the Part Design, Drafting, & Assembly workbenches for some Macro commands. Is there a way to make these toolbars available to all users when they install a new release of Catia (Code Serve)? I don't want all users to have to create their own toolbars.

    I have two subasssemblies that use the same rivet (same part number: xxx-xxxxx) with different installed lengths. We create different models with the installed length as part of the file name (example of file names: xxx-xxxxx_235 & xxx-xxxxx_250). However, for each file, the part number in...

    Non GD&T dimensioned features & assumed tolerances

    We have several drawings that contain partial GD&T positional Tolerance. Most of the diametrical dimensions do not have any GD&T positional tolerance. The titleblock says the drawings are dimensioned and toleranced per ASME Y14.5-1994. There are also tolerances given for 2 and 3 place...

    Can Catia make a component referece on a drawing?

    Is it possible to show a component in a drawing view as a refernce, where by you can see all geometry behind the reference component as though it was not there. We are creating assembly drawings of our products and would like to show the customers interface components as a reference. We still...

    DMU sectioning color

    What determines the sectioning color of components, when an assembly is sectioned using the SPA (DMU Space Analysis)license? When I create a section of the assembly, each component keeps its existing color. However, several of my coworkers get green sections...all components in the sections are...
