part speculare

[franz]

Hi.
I would like to create a part that is speculating about another file.
How do you do that?
I can create a symmetrical part (soo the body and in the new file I paste special>as spec, then give the symmetry command), but it does not update when I change the starting file.
How can you do it?
for the sheet, is the same procedure used?

Hello, franz.

you have to do: paste special>"as result with link" and then apply the symmetry command.

Thank you blackbird,
only that so the mirrored part is not dynamic.
I'll explain, if I add for e.g. a hole, an extrusion, a fitting in the original part, I would also like the mirror to change and instead nothing happens even if I make an update. How can I do that?

Hello, franz.

Sorry, I don't understand.

in the first message you say you have performed a "past special / as specified in part document". in this case catia performs a copy of the features as if they were executed in the new part. obviously does not create links between the parts.

to create a link between the parts you must perform a "past special / as result with link". this operation creates in the new file a solid body (without feature) tied to the original body. on this body you can perform the mirror command. any changes made original body will be automatically reported in the symmetric file (just run an update).

the third option of the "past special" command is "as result: it creates a solid body as above (without feature) but does not create the link.

Hi.

max.

ps.: Known only now that in the first message to use the term "as spec" is not that by chance you are performing a copy from a v4 model (.model)? .

Hi. .
I usually, especially when I happen to have catparts with many leotards, so I don't have to make a copy paste many times, I create a set, I load it inside the initial part and then with the features of together the symmetry.
a new part is created in a new file, which is symmetry with respect to the initial one, with all the body and all the links to the initial one.
If I change something in the initial one, all changes will be reflected in that symmetry. if this did not happen automatically, just update in the axieme, solve with rescue management
and the game is done.
if instead the body are only 1 or however few, you can use "neck copy with connection" as rightly other colleagues have already suggested.
