This video shows CATIA users how to link a text value (parameter) that is created in a part and associate it to text in the drawing file. If the parameter changes in the part then it can be updated easily in the drawing. For more info on this topic, check out our Generative Drafting class.

Let's look at a scenario that sometimes arises when using the “View from 3D” function in the Drafting workbench.

Measurements, by default, tend to take priority on the screen. If you create a measurement, it’ll “float” on top of any existing geometry. But if you want to turn it off, here's a quick tip to do that

Learn how with the Multi-Pad, you are able to draw all of the shapes in a single sketch and let them naturally snap to each other so it’s easier to build.

The CATIA Profile tool is a great way to draw a lot of connected lines and arcs all together. Having to pick the arcs from the Sketch Tools can get a little old.

Ever find yourself using the same command over and over and over? It’s kind of annoying to have to click the same icon so… many… times.

How to add dimensions in the Drafting workbench in CATIA

Here’s a pretty common scenario: You need to start a sketch for a part – maybe it’s a block – and to get everything nice and organized, you’ve got to center it.

Have you ever struggled to see if something can be installed/disassembled in CATIA V5 after the fact? In this webcast, you'll learn to develop a track for the movement of a part or sub-assembly, detec
