How to use “Constraint Tolerances” in the Sketcher?
How to use “Constraint Tolerances” in the Sketcher? Now it is possible to add, modify or delete "Constraint Tolerances" in the Sketcher. These are also visible in 3D and in the Drawing. For more information about this, please follow the document bellow which exactly describes how to do it. Constraint Tolerances in Sketcher

How to use and save Design Tables?
How to use and save Design Tables? A Design Table is designed to drive the parameters of a CATIA document from external values. These values are stored externally in the form of a table. Design Tables help in the tasks of creating and managing component families. These components can be, for example, parts differing only

How to reposition a solid?
How to reposition a solid? After a transfer (from Euclid, for example) certain solids must be repositioned relatively to the reference planes. The document below presents a procedure that allows you to do this. Repositioning a solid

Why use a Positioned Sketch?
Why use a Positioned Sketch? With positioned sketches, the origin and directions of the absolute axis are similar to external references (Use-Edges) obtained using additional projections or intersections when creating non-positioned sketches. If the 2D geometry is under constrained and you move or resize the part (no matter how significantly), the profile you sketched will

How to update/add a dimension to a set of grouped dimensions?
How to update/add a dimension to a set of grouped dimensions? There is a multi-measure with the command “chained dimensions”, “cumulated dimensions” or “stacked dimension". To add a new dimension, please click the appropriate icon (depending on which dimension you want to choose), select the origin where you want to insert and then choose the

How to make specific dimensions?
How to make specific dimensions? In a drawing, it is often necessary to represent some dimensions, as specified in the applicable norms at CERN, for which it doesn't exist adequate functions in CATIA. The link below will explain you how to represent a few of them. Specific dimensions creation
