Catia v5 Create drawing

0 0 Intermediate
In this video, I demonstrate a fully automated process for creating a technical drawing in CATIA V5 using a custom VBA macro. The macro automatically inserts standard views, populates the title block with metadata from the 3D Part Properties, and uses an update mechanism to keep everything synchronized — even when the model changes. ✅ Key features: Open a predefined drawing template (empty or with standard views) Automatically insert the main view from the active 3D model Read values from Part Properties (part name, material, thickness, etc.) Fill in title block fields without manual input Refresh/update the drawing automatically when model data changes 🎯 Perfect for engineers, designers, and CAD admins who want to save time, reduce manual errors, and keep their 2D documentation perfectly synced with the 3D model.

We demonstrate a CATIA V5 macro that automates the creation of DXF and PDF files from sheet metal parts. The macro detects the active CATPart, creates a drawing with an unfolded view, fills in the title block, and exports both DXF and PDF files — all with a single command.

🎥 Video Title: CATIA V5 – Bolt Joint Macro | Automatic Bolt Assembly Generator 📝 Video Description: In this video, I showcase a custom CATIA V5 VBA macro for automatically inserting and positioning a complete bolt joint — including the bolt, washers, and nut. The macro allows you to select the connection type (with or without nut), choose the standard (ISO, DIN), bolt size, and length. All components are automatically inserted and aligned using reference axes. 🔧 Key Features: Automatic insertion of all bolt joint components Support for multiple standards and sizes Smart positioning using Axis System references Saves time and ensures consistent assembly design 👉 Perfect for engineers who want to speed up the bolt joint creation process and eliminate repetitive manual steps in CATIA V5. #catia #vba #catiaautomation #boltjoint #cadmacro #engineeringdesign
