    Error Message During Join Process

    I am attempting to do a join of a surface model in Catia V5 so that I may convert it to a solid model. After recreating surfaces and retrimming surfaces I tried to join the surfaces and got the following error message. Incoherent Join Specifications: Selected elements have not the same...

    Is it required that all reference parameters be external?

    I am trying to create an assembly with a pin and a solid to remove that represents a C'bored hole subtracted from a solid block. I want to be able to rotate the C'bore by what ever degrees I choose. I have created a rotation line under construction geometry that is Angle/Normal to curve. I then...

    Using the replace command.

    I am new to Catia so this may be a simple question. Is there a way to replace a component in an assembly using the replace command and have that new component come in and maintain links to parameters or formulas within that assembly?

    What does this error message mean during constrain attempt

    I am new to Catia V5 and in the process of creating a parametric assembly. This is one of the many problems I have encountered. Loop design between geometry and constraints. Can anyone tell me what this error means exactly and how I may get around it.

    What is the best way to import a SolidWorks Assembly into V5?

    I have an assembly that has gone from Cadkey to SolidWorks and now my Supervisor wants this assembly detailed in Catia V5. I exported for SolidWorks as an .iges file and opened in Catia V5. Under the compatibility iges tab I selected map 308/408 iges entities onto a products structure because I...

    Measuring a contoured hole?

    How do I measure from the base of hole at its lowest point where it breaks through on a contoured surface to the start of the hole? I want to create a cbore that is 1.450" from the base to the lowest point of this contoured hole. When I use the measure tool I only get from the highest point of...

    Can I do a minimum distance check with accuracy?

    Can I do a mimimum distance check with accuracy? For example from a part shape or surface to the end of a drilled hole feature. I have a Ø.281 ball drilled hole that I want to stay a minimum distance of .250 from the nearest part shape. The hole was created with the hole wizard. The part shape...

    Ball Drill Representation?

    Is there a way to get a ball drilled hole besides the way I go about it? Here is what I have been doing to get the ball drill results. I change the drill angle on my drilled holes from °118 to °180 which makes the bottom flat. I then go in and create a fillet say of .25 for a Ø.500 ball drill...

    Seperating drawing sheet1 from sheet2

    I have one model for two drawings and I suppressed certain features so that on sheet1 I show only the lathe work I want done. However when I go to sheet2 it shows the same contents of sheet1. Is there a way to dissassociate the various sheets from one another so that I can use one model for...

    Can the TAG ID be edited in a hole table?

    Is there a way to edit a TAG ID in a hole table? As an example I selected 4 features and they were labeled under TAG as A1,A2,A3,A4 in the chart and on the drawing. I would like to change the id to E44,E45,E46,E47 is this possible?
