Catia v5 Create drawing

Catia v5 Automation Hub
in Drafting
0 0 Intermediate
In this video, I demonstrate a fully automated process for creating a technical drawing in CATIA V5 using a custom VBA macro. The macro automatically inserts standard views, populates the title block with metadata from the 3D Part Properties, and uses an update mechanism to keep everything synchronized β€” even when the model changes. βœ… Key features: Open a predefined drawing template (empty or with standard views) Automatically insert the main view from the active 3D model Read values from Part Properties (part name, material, thickness, etc.) Fill in title block fields without manual input Refresh/update the drawing automatically when model data changes 🎯 Perfect for engineers, designers, and CAD admins who want to save time, reduce manual errors, and keep their 2D documentation perfectly synced with the 3D model.

We demonstrate a CATIA V5 macro that automates the creation of DXF and PDF files from sheet metal parts. The macro detects the active CATPart, creates a drawing with an unfolded view, fills in the title block, and exports both DXF and PDF files β€” all with a single command.

Automated Product Structure Creation in CATIA V5 Using Excel + Smart Property Update In this video, we demonstrate a complete workflow for generating a product structure in CATIA V5 using a simple Excel table. By entering the part number, description, revision, and assembly level, the macro automatically builds the correct hierarchical structure inside CATIA. We then create a basic part, define its dimensions, assign material and sheet metal thickness, and use a custom macro to update part properties like material, thickness, and revision directly from the Excel input. The video also shows how parameter changes are reflected instantly through automated updates β€” keeping your design, documentation, and data fully synchronized. 🎯 Ideal for design engineers working with large assemblies and standardization workflows. πŸ”§ Key Features: Auto-generation of CATIA product structures from Excel Sheet metal part creation with parameter definition Automated metadata (properties) update Live synchronization of parameter changes

In this video, we dive into a powerful VBA macro designed to streamline file management for CATIA CAD projects. Watch as we demonstrate how to automate renaming and reorganizing parts and assemblies within a hierarchical folder structure. With audio commentary, we explain each step, making it easy to follow along! What You'll Learn: Tree Navigation Commands: Use Collapse All, Expand All, Select All, and Unselect All to manage file hierarchies efficiently. Rename Command: Replace prefixes like "XX", "XX XX", or "XX XX XX" with custom values (e.g., "01 00 00 000" to "08 02 01 000"). Auto Generate Save Location: Automatically create new file paths and folders based on updated prefixes. Set Save As Drawing: Enable saving associated drawings for selected files. Run Save As: Execute the macro to process all changes seamlessly. This macro saves hours of manual work, reduces errors, and ensures consistency in large-scale CAD projects. Perfect for engineers and CAD professionals looking to boost productivity! πŸ“Œ Source Code: [Link to code if shared, e.g., GitHub] πŸ”— Subscribe for more automation tutorials! πŸ’¬ Comment below with questions or suggestions! #VBA #CAD #CATIA #Automation #FileManagement #Engineering

0 0 Beginner
🎯 CATIA V5 Macro – Instantly Hide Planes, Axis Systems, and Sketches! πŸ“Œ Tired of cluttered geometry after importing STEP files into CATIA? This macro is the solution! When importing STEP (.stp) models, CATIA often generates extra planes, axis systems, and sketches that aren't necessary for your work. Manually hiding them can take foreverβ€”especially in large assemblies. βœ… What this macro does: Automatically hides all Planes, Axis Systems, and Sketches Works for both Parts and Assemblies Cleans up the tree and improves visibility Saves you time on every project! πŸ”§ Perfect for: Engineers working with external models Preparing files for drawings, presentations, or exports Keeping your CATIA tree organized and clean πŸ“₯ Download the macro and boost your efficiency! πŸ‘‰ Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications for more CATIA automation tips.
