Hi,
I would like to superimpose a side, plan and front view from 4 jpeg files of the outline of a car(front, rear, side and plan), so I can use them as reference for my wireframe in GSD. I have seen this on a video on you tube. It showed the creation of 5 flat surfaces to form an open rectangle...
Hi,
In my spare time I am trying to constructing full surface models of concept drawings of cars using V5. I am aware that a professional surfacer would use Alias or Icem to create free form `A’ class surfaces in industry but I want to stick with Catia!
As a mechanical designer I am proficient...
Is there a way you can customize the default AP203 format when creating a bill of materials/parts list for a drawing. You can define your own format, but when you close the model/session it is lost and reverts to AP203.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks - Kevin

Hi,
Does anybody know the difference betwen a poly mesh surface and a Catia surface? I wish to import 3d studio or google sketchup files into catia to use as ref parts. Trouble is that when I export them into catia as Iges or STEP they are made up of thousands of suraces. I know its not a Catia...
Whilst in sketch mode I have been told that when you are using the profile command you can add fillets to the profile without coming out of the command. How is this done?

Any Ideas?

Hypothetically – If a small team was to develop a truck Cab from scratch (med to high volumes).
What would be the main steps in the design program? As I am in the low volume industry I wouldn’t know.
I see it as this. Not quite necessarily in this order

Hi,
Is there a way of turning of Instances (I dont need them) in the spec tree?
I am doing lots of file renaming in a big assy and the changing the part number and instance is very time consuming!

Hi,
I have a 3D assy of a chassis I would like to detail. I would like to show 2 views in the drawing to show different ride heights – which is controlled by a constraint in the 3D model!
In other cad systems you would be able to create different configurations in the model to then show in...
Hi All,
I am trying to find a way to be able to open a product/assy and save into a separate directory (on my hard drive) all the files used in that product.
Is there a way other than using the save management? - This is possible in other Systems.
Thanks - Kevin
Hi all.
I am in the early stages of designing a specialist chassis/trailer and am concerned with the weight distribution. Inside the trailer body there is a lot of hardware to package and movable equipment. I need a way quick and dirty way to calculate the reaction forces at each wheel (single...

Hi,
I would like to do the following.
1. Remove the BoM table title - 1234 bill of materials
2. Change the headings - Quantity to QTY etc..
3. When I create a BoM for an assembly/product, it creates seperate BoM tables for each sub assembly/product. I just want each sub-assy to be called up as...
I am new to Catia and cant seem to easily move around my detail and main views unless I have my display view frames turned on in properties/options.
I like to have my view frames on for positioning views around etc.. but they become a hinderance when their is a lot of views on the screen.
