discovered a work around for this. create a body and add the traveled body. use a Boolean parameter to control the activity would still like to know if it is possible to hide or unhide the original body

is it possible to hide a body within a CATPart with a rule? i have multiple bodies within a CATPart body. the main one and a traveled one (paste as result with link and translations for the travel part of it). there are multiple catparts in a product that i want to be able to link together...

Once you have used "Generate Numbering" if you run it again it defaults to "Replace" numbers. Is there a way to have it default to "Keep"? This illogical approach as caused problems that I would like to avoid in the future.

Siemen's NX (Unigraphics) has ordinate dimensioning like you show. Catia doesn't and you can fake it by turning off dimension lines and putting the dimension in line (or was that perpendicular). tried it once; just too much trouble.

Try starting from scratch. Create a new part and in that part create the multi value Valve parameter and an Angle parameter set to 45° create a simple sketch that you can link Angle to. create rule if Valve == "closed" { Angle=0deg } else { Angle=90deg } this will prove the concept

I had it happen today at two diffent times doing different commands. one of the operations went like this open extract, extracted edges. clicked ok. open extract, extracted edges. clicked ok. double click open extract, extracted lots of edges. clicked ok. clicked cancel and everything...

try creating a view plane on the axis system before creating an annotation note i have had no luck moving notes after they are created. i did manage to change the plane alignment but the note didn't move

you don't really delete it but hide it from the list make sure the layer is not the current layer use the drop down arrow on the layer box and select "Other Layers..." pick on the layer and click delete

Thanks for the reply Fernando. This example gave me what i needed. As it turns out adding a selection.clear right after the selection.copy was the answer. ActSel.Copy ActSel.Clear ActSel.Add(part1.HybridBodies.Item("Where I want it")) ActSel.PasteSpecial "CATPrtResultWithOutLink"

I want to copy from one geometrical set to others based on the layer assignment in the original. i can determine the layer and create all of the other sets i need. I thought that a copy and pastespecial would work but it just pastes it under the first one in the original set. So how do you...

Power input mode will do what you need Sub CATMain() CATIA.StartCommand "Search..." End Sub

Hopefully this question has an answer. there are many really annoying warning messages that pop up like - Warning the underlying geometry is infinite. Complete untrim could not be performed. Trimmed surface based on bounding box will be created. OK i don't (and many others agree) need to...

i have been away from NX for a little over a year as the place i was at went under and now i am a monkey using catia. i miss NX. (if i ever get back to NX i will never complain about the amount of mouse clicks again!!) Anyway here is a little interface that simplifies the use of...

is there a way to adjust the size of the "more parts" window? it always pops up small and i have to stretch it to read the files as the powers that be at my place have found it necessary to have exceeding long directory structures and i would really like at least this one to pop up larger then...

Thanks everyone i will give the suggestions a try.

in mold design we need a cavity half and a core half (and most times actions) i prefer to have all work done to the solid body so the face splitting is where the different mold components would come together. alot of times it is on a flat surface or on the radii. i use this feature daily...

is it possible to divide a solid body face? i know in unigraphics/NX it is.

After experimenting with the string options it turns out that when you convert a parameter to a string it also includes the units. so i was able to check the string for the units and then format the required string based on the test. However, if there is an easier way i would still like to...

it is from the kwa side of things. if the user's units for length is set to mm then all is well; if they select dia= change it then the current rule looks at the value converts it to a string and changes the catalog entry from say D40 L300 to D30 L300 but if it is set to inches then it ends up...

been working with catia about six months. just getting started into creating rules and i have a need to know what the current units are within the rule. is there a way to find out what the current units (mm or in) is? I need to format a catalog value with only mm values
