    copying drawings into sketcher

    When I copy drawings or parts of drawings from the drawing viewer and paste them into the sketcher workbench, the geometry is not in the the proper position in relation to my other sketches. I've tried selecting and dragging the geometry but that does not seem to work. Is there a way to...

    exporting STP files

    Hello, Anyone have any experience exporting STP files to Rhino? I want to know if there is a way to export to an STP (STEP) file along with the CATIA part names? I'm importing the STEP file into Rhino and I'd like to have the blocks (in Rhino) maintain the CATIA part name rather than the...

    Catia/Digital Project file reader

    Does anyone know of a good (free) file reader for Digital Project/CATIA files (.CATpart & .CATproduct)? I want to be able to show prospective clients some 3D models without having to use the Digital Project/CATIA application. Thanks. Peter

    using generative shape design workbench

    I'm trying to use the generative shape design workbench and it is my understanding that there should be an open_body branch added to the Specification Tree when you are working in this workbench, and this is where all the wireframe geometry should be placed. I don't have an open_body, just...

    auto update after design table change?

    How can I get my part to do auto update after I change parameters using a design table? The sketch and part don't update unless I open and close the sketch in the Part Design workbench. Is there any way to just have it update in the assembly design workbench? I've got my options set to auto...

    finding multi-section surface tool

    My multi-section surface tool has dissappeared! I can't seem to locate it any longer. It doesn't seem to be buried anywhere. I found the multi-section solid tool but not the surface tool. Is there a command or a menu item to bring a tool to the front. I have other multi-section surfaces in...

    thin solid from multisections surface

    I'm trying to create a thin solid from a multisections surface. I'm using the pad tool thick but I can't figure out how to define the direction of extrusion. Is there something other than the pad tool I can use to give the multisections surface thickness? pedro

    changing origin point/axis

    I have inserted an existing part into a product which already contains a part and now I want to change the origin point/axis for the new part so it is next to the exiting part rather than on top of it. If it is possible I want to have a single axis system for both parts. How would I move the...

    linking design table to more than 1 sketch

    How can I link a design table to a copy of a sketch which is outside of the part where the original sketch and design table are located? I've got a design table which is linked to a sketch, and I've got a copy of that sketch in another part that is being used as a profile. I want the copy of...

    newbie design table question

    I am using a design table to change the parameters of a sketch--right now it only has 4 constraints with 2 configurations. I am able to change to the the second configuration without a problem but when I revert back to the original configuration the sketch does not return to the original shape...

    moving a part body to a different component

    I'm trying to move a part body from one component to another within a product, but I get an error message: "Plane.1 Element Face.14 has no associated geometry. Recreate the geometry." I understand the message but how do I find "face.14" and the geometry which needs to be recreated? Another...
