How to create multiple orthogonal leaders in a CATIA drawing?
How to create multiple orthogonal leaders in a CATIA drawing? Due to a limitation in CATIA V5 it is impossible for users to place multiple orthogonal leaders for geometrical tolerances. The workaround consists in: Each time you want to adjust the perpendicularity of the leader created via the breakpoint, move it with pressed down Shift

What is the solutions to the problems with large file size drawing?
What is the solutions to the problems with large file size drawing? A drawing can be called “too large” when the native file size is a number with more than 6 digits. Unfortunately, there is not a perfect solution but in the document below there are different methods and options that depending on each case

How to add an intersection point in a drawing?
How to add an intersection point in a drawing? In some cases, you can use in the "Tools Palette" and it can be recognized during the creation of the dimensions. It is always possible to add these points manually and after using them, create the dimensions. The blue lines and the intersection points are not

What to do if drawing settings are not according to the standard setting of CATIA?
What to do if drawing settings are not according to the standard setting of CATIA? The drawing standard is stored in the drawing upon the creation, this standard 'copy' is kept independently this means it will not automatically update when the standard settings of CATIA change. There is a procedure step by step how to

How to create an associative profile between a 2D section view and a 3D?
How to create an associative profile between a 2D section view and a 3D? You can create a section view using a 3D profile or a plane in the 3D, as sectioning element. Using a 3D element to define a section view makes possible to constrain this element with the geometry of the part. The

What do the colors of the dimensions mean?
What do the colors of the dimensions mean? The colors of dimensions are controlled by the "Analysis display mode". Select this option to display dimensions using different colors according to their status (not-up-to-date, isolated, fake, etc.). In the document below you can find all configurations of colors. Colors of Dimensions

What are the alternatives for the “Clipping View” function?
What are the alternatives for the “Clipping View” function? Due to a Catia limitation, the "3D Clipping View" function from the "Drafting" workbench is not compatible with the "Do not cut in section views" options, which are in the "Drafting" tabs of the 3D properties or in the "Overload Properties" on the 2D view.
