In order to identify a hole as threaded CATIA has to look at the specification for the hole. This is requires that the entire model is loaded in design mode. Being able to avoid doing this gives an important performance advantage in partial loading the model if threads do not need to be represented.
the pack that contains the cd's may contain both versions. but it depends what was ordered (media order not purchase order, no money is required, if you have paid for legitimate software) or who supplied the software (DS or IBM). the media for each version is 2 or 3 cd's.
use a parameter populated by formula containing knowledgeware measure. I don't think there is any way to include a proper measure in a udf.
You also may have fun trying to identify/control which sector the angle provided is
because the copy is out of context. A single part can only be one thing at any one time, therefore there can only be one instance driving the shape. The in context part (the one with the chain link) is driving the part any other copies are out of context. You can change the in context part using...
under the insert menu there are three new things you can insert; part, product and component
Part is a new catpart
Product is a new catproduct (sub assembly)
Component is a logical grouping entity (has similar behaviour to a product but does not have file and does not exist outside of the...
The component will make a logical sub assembly (parts put into a sub branch of the tree, that behaves just like a sub assembly but only exists as part of the parent assembly). Or there is fix together (spatial relationship between the components maintained unless us expicitly change it)...
NO it is not legal under the EULA, there are number of companies that have had an expensive bill due to this. It is possible to get multi region licences but these cost n x licence cost where n is the number of regions. Speak to your VAR/Supplier to understand what you have and what you can do...
CATIA provide plenty of flexability just not in the way you want it. I have never been completly stumped in CATIA, there is always a way to do something.
CATIA follows an item based philophy, 1 part is 1 item. This is because its target market is OEMs that invaribly use item based PDM/PLM system. In these environments it makes no sense to have a document that represents multiple object at the same time, presumably only the final stage has the...
regular text editor, I would use a good one such as notepad++ to ensure the correct line end characters are used as I am not sure if CATIA cares about LF or CRLF in its nls files
The image must be in the CATGraphicPath, either in an existing or new custom location, suggest you read the documentation on customisation and environments. and it is not a stupid thing, you just don't know how it works.
If std B was based on std A you would have to switch to std C before switching to std B, otherwise it would not bother making the change.
(where std C was not the same base std as A or B. The standards still have some hard coded portion that makes ISO, ANSI, JIS standards different, and it is...
