    What is the difference between the regular Titleblock stamp and the Mini stamp?

    What is the difference between the regular Titleblock stamp and the Mini stamp? Regular Titleblock stamp: Case 1: you are working at CERN with an official CAD tool and a PLM Connector (ex: BricsCAD, CATIA etc…). Thus, you must generate an official CERN Titleblock on your Drawing prior to validating it. Then when a Design

  • How is the position of the mini stamp defined?

    How is the position of the mini stamp defined?

    How is the position of the mini stamp defined? The position of the mini stamp is defined via the “Design Office” property, that sets a specific position for the mini stamp for each drawing format (A0, A1…). As a result, this property becomes mandatory and must be filled for any Drawing that is not Connector

    How to update a BOM in the PLM?

    How to update a BOM in the PLM? The PLM uses an automatic engineering BOM (EBOM). This means every time you save an assembly the BOM will be created/updated on each ‘claimed’ or ‘new’ assembly node. The BOM uses the positions and quantities of the instances in the CATIA tree, using a top-down approach. Please
