CATIA V5 - Automatic Feature Recognition

Part Design Feature Recognition is intended to recognize Part Design feature from a dumb solid. The user imports a part and can recover elementary Part Design features.

CATIA V4 to V5 Transfer 2D drawing

A previous video showed how to convert 3D V4 data to V5. This time we show how to convert 2D drawing data to V5 Drafting workbench. There will be no link between the 2 versions but at least you have the data in V5 to print and do simple changes.

CATIA V5 - 3D XML and Functional Tolerancing and annotation (FTA)

This is video tip on how to benefit from the FREE 3D XML viewer found on the official Dassault website. It's a great tool for those looking for to share their 3D FTA (commonly known as GD&T) with users who don't have access to CATIA V5. You also can insert the 3DXML file into an Office document and capture the design from any angle.

CATIA V5 - GSD - Review Part history

Many of us design parts or receive models that are quite complex. To go through the spec tree is a long and difficult task. In Generative Shape design (Surfacing) there's a nice hidden feature that allows you to review the part history quickly without having to run the  "Define In work object" function. It give you a good insight into how the part was modelled which makes modifications easier.
