    Running Macros

    Hello, I have several macros that I havent used in a while, which used to work fine, now do nothing when i try to use them. Also if i try to make a new one (from the portable script center), and run it, nothing happens, no error or anything. Any ideas what i could be doing wrong?

    BOM vs 3d

    Hi, We do 3d mold designs in Catia, with an average of 200-300 different components. We export to an excel file for purchasing, which is no problem. Issue is when we send our 3d designs to our customer (usually in step format) and the BOM in excel, he has no way of correlating between the 2...

    Excel XYZ points into Catia

    Looking for a simple macro that will take all of the XYZ locations i have in excel and draw them in Catia. I have found a few online, but they dont seem to work very well.

    Catia Load Time

    After PC is shutdown over night, it takes over 10min to get Catia to load up after PC boots back up. We have some PC's that this process takes only 2-3 min. I have run disk clean up and cleared out all Catia temp files, still no better results. Is this common, or is there a way to fix this.

    R22 vs R20 CCV Workbench

    We recently just switched to R22 SP4. Has anyone else noticed how incredibly slow creating a bounding box or creating a pulling direction is as opposed to R20. What used to take us less then 5 seconds is now taking several minutes to compute.

    R20 vs R22 step translator

    We have a strange issue with stepping out files out of R22. It is extremely slow compared to R20. Anyone else having these issues. On one of our seats, we have the exact opposite issue

    Applying colors of a join from a solid

    I recently heard that it was possible to split a solid to a join of multiple separate joins, then apply the color of those joins to the solid to have a multi-colored solid. Has anyone seen or heard of such an application before.

    Change color and layer

    Let me start by saying I know nothing about scripting. I copied this out of the portable script center. I'm looking for this script to do exactly what it does, except I want it to pick everything visible on my screen, as opposed to the user selecting a single face. Can this be done? Sub...

    Instantiating Document Templates

    I've noticed recently when instantiating document templates, sometimes it saves the files as CATProduct123.CATProduct or CATPart123.CATPart, and not save the file to the instance/part name in the tree. I've also noticed it somemtimes pulls a copy of the document template highest product level...

    If I have 2 identical surfaces overlayed on top of each other, each a different color, how does catia determine which color will be shown on top or be the dominant color. See pic

    Image capture and dump to a powerpoint script

    Does anyone know of a script that will capture an image, load powerpoint and insert the picture in 1 step. Also, if powerpoint is already open, it would add to the existing powerpoint (page 2, 3, 4 etc.) I'm being told this exists but have not seen it for myself.

    Finding Links from Other Assemblies

    When we send files to manufacturing, we use the File/Send to command and send our entire master assembly to another directory on our server. Our master assembly usually consists of 50-100 sub assemblies and 400-600 catparts. When we start a new job, we start with a default master assembly...
