Hi there wonderfull video goes through several functionality of the video.

a small query, the las part of the video when you are extending the holes in the next part into the assembly what command or option are you using?

plus am using catia version 6 so its a bit tricky to follow.

cheers

p.s the link for the vidoe is no longer there :(

@FJEBPRABA

it's called Assembly features. Found on a toolbar carrying the same name. Megavideo was taken down by the government and that's where I uploaded the good copy. if you email me off list (private message) I can send you a link to the download.

Hey I'm taking catia class this spring 2012 and I have a question what type of laptop would u suggested on getting ? Thanks!

@InsanityKa0tik

1st I would get the fastest processor money can buy. don't worry about quad core or 8 cores. then make sure that your video card is a certified CAD card. stay away from gaming cards (geforce and radeon) look for Quadro or ATI GL. lots of RAM is good too. go for brand names like Dell precision or HP Elitebook or Lenovo W520

Excellent video thanks. One question, how do you setup the sketch so when you at the part is plat to screen? not like perspective view... thanks

@357tacoma

click the Normal view icon. it looks like a blue page and a black arrow pointing up.

I'm using Lenovo Thinkpad T520. It has nVidia NVS 4200M. It's a really powerful card for designing softwares.

CATIA V5 Start to Finish Part 1 of 2, I noticed on your video that your sketch is really PARALLEL TO SCREEN. Nice video very clear...

[catiav57]

I did that normal view arrow still not parallel to screen on my sketch. Is there any setup to make my sketch parallel to screen? Thanks
