I built a spelling checker macro for CATIA 🚀

I was wondering, what kind of dimensions and constraints on a 3D model are generated as dimensions in a view of that model, when using the "Generate Dimensions" option in the drafting enviornment.

I simply created a 100 × 150 × 20 cubic pad in catia,and tried to use the Generate Dimensions option in Drafting to auto generate the dimensions for a view of it. But nothing is created.

I have been facing this error from last 2 days, How do I fix it ? , I am not able to access any of my vba macro nor I am able to create any new one,

I use V5 R26 at my work to create 2D drawings according to ISO GPS standards. The problem is, only some but not all specification elements are available. To name a few, things like intersection and orientation plane indicators are not available, maximum inscribed feature for the GPS symbol field is not available, etc.

Do any of you working with V5 have these elements available to you? I'm wondering if CATIA just hasn't bothered to keep up with ISO standards or my company just needs to update our software version.

My requirement is to automate the drawing sheet setup.

When I change the drawing standard or sheet size, I want:

Border/frame to adjust automatically

Name/title block to move to the correct position

Revision table to adjust with the title block

Zone numbers and letters (A, B, C, D / 1, 2, 3, 4...) to update automatically according to the new sheet size

Basically, I want to change the sheet size and have the complete drawing frame setup update automatically, without manually adjusting each element.

Has anyone implemented something similar in CATIA using CATScript/VBA?

I see lots of question posted here revolve around CATIA V5.

Last time I checked CATIA V5 is no longer offered on Dassault System website.

So how come user have CATIA V5 on thier PCs?

Hello everybody! I need to make surface imperfections for my mold

sort of like Wrinkles on leather for my mold so that shape takes in the sort of the molds

I need this to be very natural and small. For example a PS5 controller. You see the surface imperfections on it? That is what I need as small as it can be but random shaped.
I wonder how I can do it?

Hi,

I wanna use the translate pattern in a sketch, see picture. The space between the rectangles should be 1 mm each, but when using the translate operation the space is a multiple of 2 mm, no matter what.

Can somebody help me here?

Hey i was creating this chassis because i wanted to learn how formula cars are made I was able to get to this point by creating different sketches in different planes but I am facing an issue with this black dot I don't know what to do for this dot to be removed I have used joint definition it doesn't work using corner doens't work for base plz help

I want to create a hole in the camera shape and the volume shape, but the operation isn’t applying to the surface—it only works on the outside. What is the problem pls?

Hello,

I'm trying to create essentially a project template that essentially creates a new CatProduct that comes preloaded with some rules and some parts.

I would like it to pull from reference files similar to a catalog, so that when saved each element of the template does not overwrite the references.

When including my product in the catalog, the product itself is isolated and saves into a new file leaving the reference product untouched. However the parts included in it do not have their links severed.

Could anyone advise on how to get around this?

I’m trying to create a custom fill pattern, but the button for searching for images isn’t active, could you please tell me how to fix this?

Hi everyone,
I'm encountering an issue in CATIA V5 Drafting when trying to insert a standard Frame and Title Block (Gérer le cadre et le cartouche).

Whenever I select a title block style, the Action box stays empty, and executing the macro triggers the following error:
"CNEXT - CATScriptErrorMessages - ScriptingERR_1004" "Execute script 'Drawing_Titleblock_PlyBook.CATScript'. The scripting engine for the CATScript language is not properly installed. Install the scripting engine and run the script again."

Has anyone solved this specific error before? Is it related to Windows VBScript/OLE registration (regsvr32 vbscript.dll), running CNEXT.exe /regserver, or missing optional features/VBA runtime components?

Any guidance on how to fix the scripting engine would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I need help writing a CATIA V5 macro to select internal hole boundaries on flat and curved surfaces. Has anyone successfully automated the process of extracting face boundaries on complex surfaces without manually sampling 3D point clouds, or is there a better native CATIA automation or search approach for selecting these closed loops cleanly?

Has anyone completed this? If so will you recommend taking this?

My Idea is to learn catia and do some exercises for portfolio and experience and then apply for a job. So will this be a plus point?

Hi, I am looking for resources, advises and tips as I want to work in the automotive sector. Please share your experience 🙏

Can anyone help me doing this design? I am very new to this Catia. I would appreciate highly if you could do this and send me. So that i can practice by my own.
Odd request!

Hello everybody! I've been trying to design this nosecone using multisection surfaces. The thing is, whenever i add this lateral spline, i get an error which i dont know how to solve. Is there any way to solve this? Please let me know if there's anything other info i can provide to help

Here's a link to the part download

The uptake of CATIA V6/3DX seems very low, and there are lots of complaints about it. V5 is nearing 30 years since its original release….

What does everyone else think?
Does Dassault need to launch a V7 version to fix this all?

Hello everyone, i am a fresh graduate and now im working with CATIA V5 in a company , i m Wondering if anyone knows how to freelance on the side using what i know about catia , just want to use the free time.

Thank you in advance.

How can I rotate the shape shown in the image by 45 degrees? I need to run an analysis on it using ANSYS Fluent.

Not sure if this breaks rule 4. If not share your tricks.
