This technique is meant to show you an example of a CATIA structural shapes catalog. The catalog presented in this example contains 5,248 standard structural shapes (Inch & Metric).
The “Top Level” catalog is divided into two sub-catalogs one is called “Structural Shapes (Linked) Catalog” and...
Hi Everyone:
I'm working on a project and what I would like to do is:
I would like to put a formula Constraint on the PowerCopy name and, control the PowerCopy name through a (string) User parameter. I haven't found a way to do this, has anyone out there have any ideas?
If you know of a way...
This catalog contains 11 product safety sticker templates (see attached .jpg file) used in conjunction with the symbols provided in SES_0004-1 of 2-Product Safety Symbol Catalog, you can make an infinite number of variations. User Parameters are used to change just about every value on the...
This catalog contains 30 Signal Panel symbols in three different font styles and 141 Symbol Panel symbols (see attached .jpg file). The Symbol Panel symbols were downloaded from the AEM (http://www.aem.org/SRT/Safety/PictorialDatabase/NoAccept.asp) website in DXF format. DXF format is useful...
These PowerCopies allow you to equally space whatever feature you select across a given distance.
There are three different ones:
Centered: Is used when you want to base your pattern off the center of a feature and go to either side but maintaining a specified minimum distance from each end...
I'm offering step by step instructions on how to create a casting using multi-body construction techniques. What's shown is how to link both RAW and FINSHED features together as well as RH and LH sides (see attached .jpg file). How to use Modify Links to make a .CATDrawings, as well as using...
Anyone interested in creating the two products that are shown in the attached .png files. I'm offering them free to download on my website at www.solengsol.com. All the information necessary to resolve the tabulated parts and assemble the two CATProducts is provided with step by step...
What I would like to do is change the Part Properties “Part Number” with information from the “User Parameters” with some string manipulation so I can get it to the correct format. (see attached image).
I don't believe I can do this with just CATIAV5 maybe a reaction and a little CATScript on...
Hello Everyone:
A question came up last week that I thought would be simple to solve but it has been a bit of a challenge and I have run out of ideas.
Question:
I would like to link a boolean User Parameter on a CATDrawing to a boolean User Parameter on a CATPart (CATPart being the parent) see...
Hello:
This may sound like a simple question but the subject has never came up with me.
I can change a value with a formula but can I change the color of a surface with a formula?
If this can be done please post a sample of the syntax so I may apply it to my part.
Thank you in Advance
To whom it may concern:
What I would like to do is to create a single Pattern of a slot that contains the center point of the same slot that can later be used to position hardware in the Product and to dimension to in the Drawing.
I already know how to use the “Reuse Pattern” in the Assembly...

I would like to ask the CATIA/Smarteam community on how they are doing parts and drawings of stickers/labels.
The way we have been doing it is we have a CATPart of the outside shape of the sticker that is used on CATProducts. We then create a drawing of the CATPart this gives us the outside...
The problem first: I have a part with many features on it (see FeatureTree.jpg) and these features are controlled by a spreadsheet (see SpreadSheet.jpg). When I resolve this part using the Catalog Editor, CATIA creates 21 new parts using the spreadsheet to control, which features are active and...
We just updated our version of the Title Block Editor to the latest code (3.1.4). The latest code includes Mass Properties and units support within the BOM (see attached .jpg file).

The question I have is with the Flange feature of Generative SheetMetal and most importantly the K Factor.
I’ve created a spreadsheet of our company standards for material thickness; bend radius, and K Factors. When I create SheetMetal parts I pick from this table for my parameters and CATIAV5...
I’m trying to place a radius between two sections of polyline. I can’t get this portion of the polyline feature to work as the example in the documentation says it should. The Radius field always remains a gray color regardless of what I select, never turning a white color allowing me to key in...
Recently we upgraded our release level from V5R13 SP9 to V5R14 SP3 and have noticed a difference in the way the Hide/Show command works.
V5R13 SP9: You could hide individual parts within the assembly by selecting the parts within the tree or from the screen. If you wanted to bring everything...
