    Tutorial Major Steps

    Here are the different steps of this tutorial:

    Step 1? Prepare the drawing

    Step 2? Create main views

    Step 3? Use the Wizard to generate views

    Step 4? Create a Detail view

    Step 5? Create a Section view

    Step 6? Create Dimensions

    Step 7? Create a Breakout view

    Step 8? Finish the drawing

    Step 9? Finishing

    Note : in the ..\Generative Drafting\Data directory you can find several drawings named with thedifferent steps of this tutorial. If you have some difficulties or if you need to stop and continue sometimelater, you can load them at the end of each step to continue the tutorial.

    Settings 1/2Depending on your needs, you may have to modify the CATIA V5 settings (units, defaultdirectory, visualisation parameters, etc)

    In order to use the appropriate settings for this tutorial, you have two possibilities:

    1. Do the following operations (simplest one):

    ?BEFORE STARTING YOUR CATIA V5 SESSION:

    ?Copy or replace the directory ..\Generative Drafting\Data\CATSettingsin:

    C:\Winnt\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

    C:\Documents and settings\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

    C:\Windows\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

    XXXX is the name used to log on to your computer

    ?Do not forgetto put this folder (CATSettings) inread mode:

    ? Selectthe folder (CATSettings)

    ? Click mouse button 3 then click onProperties anduncheck theRead-only Attribute

    ? Selectall the files in the folder

    ? Click mouse button 3 then click onProperties and uncheck theRead-onlyAttribute

    2. Set them manually:?Launch your CATIA V5 session and do the operations from page 32 onwards

    For NT users

    For Windows 2000

    or XP users

    Settings 2/2

    For this tutorial you also need to install a tooling and a material catalogue:

    ?Do not do this step if you have already done it in getting started or in a previous tutorial

    ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\French directory

    ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program

    Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\German directory

    ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\Japanese directory

    ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program

    Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials directory

    ? Answer Yes in order to replace the old catalogue

    You are now ready to launch your CATIA V5 session

    ? Click in the bottom window andOUTSIDEof the geometry

    ? Drag the mouse cursor over the various3D planes on the specification tree

    WITHOUTclicking? If you click on the plane you will create the

    corresponding 2D view. To delete a created

    view, refer to the next page

    ? The preview window shows you the

    result

    ? Click the front face of the Spindle

    ? If you have trouble selecting it, dont

    hesitate to zoom in before clicking

    ? You can rotate the views before creating them

    ? Click on the arrows of the compass toorientate the front view

    ?When you have the view positioned asshown here, click anywhere on the grid

    ? To have the same orientation you should

    click 3 times on the left rotation arrow (the

    inside circular arrow)

    ?

    After a few seconds, the view is created? If you have failed, you need to delete the

    view and re-do it. (See page11 on how to

    delete a view).

    ? Select and drag the text box, placing itunder the front view as shown

    ? Maximise the drawing window

    ? Zoom out to see the whole page

    ? Select the front view frame and drag it toposition it as shown

    bottom right of the front view icon

    ?Drag the projection view around the frontview to preview the different projections youcould create

    ?Now position the projection view as shownon the right and click MB1

    ?Another way to create views

    ?

    Delete the views by clicking MB3 on theframe (and not inside the frame) ofboth

    views and then selecting the Delete function
