Tips from the COE Forum

We can look to the COE Forum as a source of how to information. CATIA V5 is a good example.

The following is a sample list of topics addressed in recent Forum activity in this discussion area.

• Getting working data from a STL file – reverse engineering geometric entities from STL data using Digitized Shape Editor and Quick Surface Recognition workbenches.
• Arc length constraint in sketcher – workaround for constraining an arc length.
• CATIA V5 macros programming – about examples of using the macro facility.

The CATIA V5 Programming and the KBE (Knowledge Based Engineering) discussion areas provide related technical information.

The Forum FAQ can be a source as well, such as the “ V5 Useful Shortcuts (keyboard) ” FAQ entry under CATIA V5.
