It seems a little complicated but it can be done.and I still say is much easier to drag and drop and see result. Parts of all those codes I've already done it, if someone wants to see them, I can post here. It was a shock for me.but in any case you can do much more things in CATIA than in SW (especially with surfaces), price is talking himself, isn't it ?Īzrael, I'm working with Enovia 3DCOM (VPM), but I don't know if such operation can be done, I'm not aware about this.Ĭoming to jagodragon question, maybe is it possible with vbs script, I was thinking of a scenario like this: run a CATIA macro (input here the name of the part to be checked and path) which could trigger a vbs script, opening with this a text editor, search those strings necessary to identify the release, then a message box with approval or not to open the part, finally opening the part or not (from vbs you can input commands in CATIA). Kevin, I was in your position few years ago, when I switched from SW to CATIA v4 (which is far away more unfriendly).
