    Making new assembly from existing one (Teamcenter 9)

    Hi, In TEAMCENTRE 9 (NX 8.5) I have an old project, from which I have to create new one. Select top assembly and make new item for everything inside. I need that all wave links and drawings links are intact. What is correct way to do it?

    Model appearance

    Hi, I don't understand behavior of NX when inserting part/assemblies in another assembly. I create a part and hide sketches manually, set the colors the way I want, define the reference set MODEL and save part. Then create assembly with some sketches for reference no solid bodies, create parts...

    Coincidence constrain bug?

    NX8.5, when placing coincidence constrain in sketch, first selection is end of curve and is OK, but for selection of other end curve, I cannot select any curve endpoint in the same sketch. Is this some known bug? or I'm missing something.

    Sketch constrains linking to other parts in assemblies

    Hi, I come from intensive Catia V5 usage, and now I'm working as a consultant in company that uses NX 8.5. The problem is that here there is no that one guy who is expert, so I don't have somebody to ask. I'm a bit confused with constrains when making a sketch, sometimes I can constrain...

    Thread info / links

    Hi, I would like to modify screws in my catalog (add new BODY for boolean operations). When I make a new body with negative thread, problem occurs when you insert this component in assembly and copy the boolean body to other part to make remove operation. Thread info is not transfered, you end...

    HP 8730W

    Hi, I've been away from catia for about a year, and now I'm coming back but I need a new PC... I was thinking of HP 8730W mobile workstation. Does somebody have experience with this laptop?, I will use it for assemblies of cca. 200-250 MB. I don't have the opportunity to try it before buying.

    R18 Strange behaviour

    Few days ago, we switched from R17 to R18... when I opened one project in R18 to see if everything works fine I noticed some strange things: 1. Assembly needs update of some parts and nothing has changed (when opened in R17 no need to update). 2. Axis system color changed to black without any...

    Isometric section cut

    Hi, I would like to make section cut on the isometric view, like the one seen on the picture, which is made with Pro/E. In V5 I don't know how to define section plane that I want? Rgds, Damir

    Text along curve

    Hi, I think that I know the answer, but anyway is it possible in V5 R17(MD2 or HD2) without 3rd party software... that text follows the curve? Rgds, Damir

    Space Explorer + V5R17

    Hi, We have made the transition to V5R17 Service Pack 3, HotFix 19, 64bit... and Catia does not recognize my Space Explorer (with latest drivers V3.4.2). On the same machine I still have V5R16, 32bit, and with this version is working fine. Somebody had the same problems?

    Catalog question?

    Is it possible to insert products in a catalog, and if somebody can explain to me what does RESOLVE A PART FAMILY mean, also what are the pros and cons of resolved parts? rgds, Damir

    Power copy

    1. Please for suggestion on how to make a power copy in V5R16 SP5 without gaps (see image). When instantiated I want to be asked to select only the FACE and POINT. I have made it using three holes (simple, countersunk, threaded) but I was forced to put small gaps (0.01 mm). 2. Above mentioned...

    Flexible/Rigid assembly

    I would like to put inside one of mine subproducts new component, which will contain only screws ( for better tree visualization ). In order to position these screws I have to make this component flexible, but then I lose the update of reused patterns in my product, this is documented in on-line...

    Space Explorer

    For the last two days I'm using the space explorer from 3D connexion, and I found few things that I do not like: - In sketch mode it's not possible to rotate the model, only PAN and ZOOM allowed. On connexion web page I have read that with Space pilot is allowed to rotate in...

    Parameter synchronize problem

    I have the main product with subproducts A and B. Inside product A, when I change the parameter in one part other parts that use the same parameter turn red, I have to change into assembly and do the update... which is normal. Now, I switch inside product B and again mofify the parameter, the...

    Component replace

    In R14 when I do component replace from part_A to part_B catia dosen't update te instance name, but leaves the old instance. Product - Part_B (Part_A.1) Can somebody inform me if this is normal or it's a bug? Rgds, Damir

    Syntax message

    I have a part (R14) that after using SMARTVOLUME in one formula I receive below message, (only the first time that I open this part in session). Formula is very simple smartvolume(pad), so I think that shouldn't be any errors in the formula. I would like to know the meaning of this message...

    assembly context + copy with link

    Hi, Please can you tell me, if what I have done in my product will cause problems later. In assembly context I have two parts: Part1 (plane) Part2 (sketch) I have used plane from part1 in part2, therefore I cannot use any more sketch from part2 into part1. Than I have closed the assembly...

    Unable to load the CATProduct

    Hi, I'm trying to open the main CATProduct which is made of sub CATProducts and CATParts... V5R14 SP5 HFix15 Catia starts to load the files, and after some 30% pops up the window with text in Title bar "A CHECK ON DATA WILL BE LAUNCHED ON ACTIVE DOCUMENT" and text saying "COMMAND INTERUPTED"...

    View generation problem

    I've noticed that when I made front view of V4 model imported to V5 via 'paste special' some contour lines are missing, and when I make the same front view directly from V4 model everything is fine. I'm using R14, is this a known bug?
