View/Annotation Plane Glossary Index Preface The Version Part Design application makes it possible to design precise 3D mechanical parts with an intuitive and flexible user interface, from sketching in an assembly context to iterative detailed design Version Part Design application will enable you to accommodate design requirements for parts of various complexities, from simple to advanced This application, which combines the power of feature-based design with the flexibility of a Boolean approach, offers a highly productive and intuitive design environment with multiple design methodologies, such as post-design and local 3D parameterization As a scalable product, Part Design can be used in cooperation with other current or future companion products such as Assembly Design and Generative Drafting The widest application portfolio in the industry is also accessible through interoperability with CATIA Solutions Version to enable support of the full product development process from initial concept to product in operation The Part Design User's Guide has been designed to show you how to create a part There are several ways of creating a part and this book aims at

intended for the user who needs to become quickly familiar with Part Design product The user should be familiar with basic Version concepts such as document windows, standard and view toolbars To get the most out of this guide, we suggest you start reading and performing the step-bystep tutorial Getting Started This tutorial will show you how to create a basic part from scratch Once you have finished, you should move on to the next sections dealing with the handling of CATPart data, then the creation and modification of various types of features you will need to construct parts This guide also presents other Part Design capabilities allowing you to design complex parts You can also take a look at the sections describing the Part Design Workbench at the end of the guide To perform the scenarios, you will use sample documents contained in the C:\Program Files\Dassault Systèmes\B12doc\online\prtug\samples folder When samples belong to capabilities common to different products, those samples will be found in the C:\Program Files\Dassault Systèmes\B12doc\online\cfyug\samples folder [ Up ] [ Next ] http://pop.dia.uniroma3.it/catia/online/prtug_C2/prtugpr02.htm10/18/2004 7:43:04 PM
