1) open a catdrawing file, write with the "text" function and save your file in "dxf"
2) open the dxf with catia and copy the writing (they will be simple lines)
3) open the catpart of the punch, put in sketch mode and paste what you copied from the dxf.

ps. before exporting to dxf make sure that in the "compatibility" tab of the options, it is set as attached image.

thanks vittorio
but if I have to change a number or a letter?
if what I have to write is not linear but circular how do you do it?
greetings

for that there is the type3tocatia application. we have it and it works through interface. It's a paid solution, though.

I thought a software like catia v5 had a solution without having to buy a specific package, however thanks for the answer

there would also be two macros, but only for r19 uphttp://ww3.cad.de/foren/ubb/forum133/html/009647.shtml?3dshttp://www.ema3.com/catia_v5_macro/v5_index.php?e3dtextI use 18, tell me if they work

if you do many writings I recommend the software recommended by falonef. I was interested and costs about 2500 euros + 900 euros per year of maintenance.(ps: it is not the horse that costs but the biada )
If you do few writings, use the system I explained to you with the dxf.
When it comes to circular writings, I have adopted a simple system that I now explain.
in a catdrawing I write for example the letter "c" then I make an angular repetition according to my needs.
of course I will have a circular text but with only letters "c". then I replace the individual letters to obtain the desired writing "c" "i" "r" "c" "o" "l" "a" "r" "e". then carry in dxf etc. etc.

I confirm that in order to change the writing, you must remake the complete procedure

Hi.

excuse why did you set the graphic option under export?
What is the difference with the "semanti" option activated?

Hi.
because if you didn't set "graphic" when it matters the dxf you still find the text format and did not explode in lines/segments

 

[falonef]

So with the "graphic" option set when you open the dxf in another system should you recognize it as a text with so much chance to edit it directly in case of need?!?? ... would be nice;-)

with semantic option you lose some point,problem solved from 19
with the graphic opz does not remain certain text,magara

specific.. If you save a catdrawing in dxf or dwg with the "semanti" option, who receives it and opens it with another system, can change the quotas and texts. otherwise it will receive quotas and texts exploded in segments and therefore unmanageable.

thanks vittorio
I have done as you have written but when I open the part of the punch and take off the dxf in the sketch I come to scale 25,4:1
Looks like there's somewhere a scale in inches.
in simple words when I go out of the sketch I have these letters/numbers in a circle with a diameter 25,4 times more
Great of the punch.
What to do?

 

[Vittorio]

Hi.
you have to go on options and set as from attached image

 

[doriano]

thanks to all I solved in the settings instead of "mm" I had "auto" and I do not know why it gave me this scale in in inches put mm is ok greetings
