    Electrical Harness - Multi-Branchable Document vs Bundle Segment

    "Bundle segment" was the only function available in earlier releases of CATIA V5, to keep compatibility it's still there, then at some point they introduced "Multi-branchable document" which is now the prefered function. Like iscariot said you can just forget about bundle segment.

    Electrical Harness Installation - Delete vs Delete Special

    Yes. "Delete Special" is a little like the option box you get when deleting a Sketch and selecting to also delete parents, children or aggregated. https://res.cloudinary.com/engineering-com/image/upload/v1518774786/tips/delete_yqttcp.bmp If you've used points to construct a Branchable and you...

    View: PERSPECTIVE/PARALLEL

    Perhaps you are clicking "Fly Mode" instead of "Fit All In". It will give you a pop-up message asking to switch to perspective projection. It will ask you Yes or No...the natural tendency is to click "Yes" when given those two choices on any pop up message...

    Reset Properties (Change Colors to Automatics)

    Bang on! But I wouldn't resort to macro's, I think there needs to be a corporate-wide effort towards Knowledge-Based Engineering to truly automate repetitive and boring tasks in a way that is genuinely holistic and powerful.

    Reset Properties (Change Colors to Automatics)

    Jesus H. Christ! You gotta tell me what's up with all that? I mean...i guess macro's can be handy but at the same time to me, they're always some backwater excuse workaround for something. Are they a necessary evil? Maybe I'm a pussy but whenever I need to do a repetitive task I just do it by...

    Reset Properties (Change Colors to Automatics)

    Haha, that's cool. Foul language don't bother me, we are engineers...not babysitters. I think a lot of engineering is seen as requiring to be professional--and I do agree. But sometimes this repression of emotions seen as to befit the attitude of professional conduct, is just not a good idea...

    This is how I feel after reading all these macro posts man, I just can't stop being confused. http://giphy.com/gifs/glmRyiSI3v5E4

    Sudhakarn's answer should work for you.

    Quality Of New Hires and Recent Grads

    I think mentoring is a flawed system, it assumes the mentor is all-knowing and knows what he is doing. It puts him on a pedestal which he can only partially fulfill. I believe a better way to go are enterprise-wide formal training programs for engineerings, that are given by professional...

    Quality Of New Hires and Recent Grads

    That's very interesting. Are you intrinsically motivated to become an expert on soils & water? It's not because you have no other choices, or the pay is really good? To me the only instrinsic motivator are aerospace and automotive. Of course, different people like different things. That's great!

    TheTick, What's wrong with the Deming approach for design departments?

    Quality Of New Hires and Recent Grads

    Fair enough, don't mind me, remember: I'm frustrated. I don't like it, I don't pride myself on it but I am. And I can not deny it, or ain't going to, either.

    Quality Of New Hires and Recent Grads

    MJB, very interesting I think Total Quality Management from Edwards Deming can work well in an education setting as well, there are a few Youtube videos that gloss over the main ideas there. SNORGY, I understand your point of view. But I see quality as a process that includes at its core...

    How to make "Isolated Point" in VBScript?

    I'd just suck it down and do it manually, I don't give a fuck, I once File > Save As about 3000 files on Unix. Could I have written a macro? Yeah if I knew how it all worked under Unix and CATIA V4. So I just said: "fuck it." and I did it by hand.

    Well excuuuuuse me that I'm not Mister Spock! It's precisely this kind of rock-solid no emotions allowed, that's giving engineering a bad name. You can't bulldoze people into doing whatever it is you want, I don't care if you own a business and need to hire people or not. The matter of fact is...

    Greg, If you don't see it you either 1) live in a better part of the world than me, 2) work at a better company than the ones I have worked at, or 3) have very low standards for best practices and world-class quality. To the other post, I think small firms that truly know what they're doing...

    Why do you wanna do this? Just curious.
