    Dimensioning Radii & Tangency for ASME Y14.5-2009

    Thanks for the helpful reply, patdh1028. Tangency notes aren't a bad idea. The current drawing I'm working on only has 1 point of "assumed" tangency that I could label. I agree with you though, labeling and dimensioning things that should be obvious certainly does clutter up a drawing. I...

    Dimensioning Radii & Tangency for ASME Y14.5-2009

    I do have a copy of the book... that's why I said "I've been going through the standard and I haven't been able to find anything to address these questions." The Standard being the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard.

    Dimensioning Radii & Tangency for ASME Y14.5-2009

    Hey Guys, I'm still really terrible with GD&T but this is a problem I have run across numerous times. Is it bad form to dimension to a radius centre point? The reason I ask is because in a lot of programs you can foreshorten radius dimensions but you can't then foreshorten the linear...

    Coating for welded Aluminized Steel Charge Air Cooler Pipe?

    OK, that's good to know, thanks. So would it be appropriate to spec the finish on the drawings as "Finish: E-Coat, Black, 0.02-0.03 THK."?

    Coating for welded Aluminized Steel Charge Air Cooler Pipe?

    I am currently in the process of designing a charge air cooler pipe for a class 8 truck and I need some advice on which finish to spec for the part. The pipe it's self will be ASTM A787 Type 1 aluminized steel but it will be welded to a ASTM A513 steel fitting. Typically the aluminized steel...

    CNC Simulation Problems

    Hey Guys, I'm trying to learn how to generate Gcode and run machining sumulations in Catia. I'm just playing with a couple rough models at the moment but I'm having a bit of a hard time. For some reason whenever I try to run a simulation it get the error: "[INFO]: Some points of the Tool...

    Laws??

    I've also been trying to do this with Rules and reactions with no luck. I'm getting REALLY frusterated.

    Laws??

    I keep getting "Invalid attribute: Show used"

    Laws??

    What I would really like is a String Parameter with a Y or N and something like If String.1 == Y {Part.1 .Show = true} else {Part.1 .Show = false} It would also be nice to be able to hide/show lines, points, exc with the same parameter. Thanks

    Laws??

    I have been having nothing but problems with the FOG laws. No matter what I do, I can't get the laws to work. what I really want to do is to be able to use a Parameter, driven by a spreadsheet, to hide/show parts in the model. So far I have had no luck. For starters, Catia doesn't seem to...

    Part Number Conflict

    It's not already used in the assembly. It is an entirely new, completely different assembly that has had no prior contact with the assembly it's being added to... on top of that, none of the parts it's asking me to rename exist in the assembly being added.

    Part Number Conflict

    Thanks Ferdo, I'll give it a shot. The thing is, this is not a UUID problem, it's asking me to chance the actual part number of a whole list of parts that aren't even in the assembly I'm bringing in. When I hit "autorename" it just ads a period and a number to the file name. Crazy Catia.

    Part Number Conflict

    The thing is I have 1 assembly that I use over and over again and it has a lot of parts. I have no idea why there are conflicts but maybe a batch would work to change the names. I don't think it's the actual file names, I think it's the sub names or whatever you call them. What is the UUID...

    Part Number Conflict

    I'm having an extremely irritating problem with V5R19 Whenever I try to add a part or assembly to an existing assembly I get the irritating "Part Number Conflict" window popping up. I then have to go through 20-50 parts selecting and then pressing the "automatic rename button". How do I...

    Part won't update

    lol I dunno about that. I didn't have NEARLY as many problems when I was using ProE. I'm running SP4 right now and I'm going to be swearing at this thing until they come out with SP5 (which will hopefully fix these problems). Yeah, dassault knows that they can rape big business. This kind of...

    Part won't update

    Well that's good to know. I'm glad it's not just me. Significant errors seem to be par for the course with this turd of a piece of software. Thanks for the heads up, it makes me feel a whole lot better.

    Part won't update

    ok, so when the settings are: Folder of the link folder of the pointing document relative folder I can assemble things to the assembly but my part it looking to the XML in the original location, instead of in the copied directory I'm working out of. When the settings are folder of the...

    Part won't update

    Nope >:( This thing is being a miserable asshole. Now it won't let me assemble parts to the assembly that are in the same F'ing directory. It's giving me some linked document localization error. I'm getting MAD. I can't get any god damn work done.
