    jgro router modeled in Catia

    For anyone interested, I've built the jgro router (see http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6054 ) in Catia.

    Had to use 2 files due to file size.

    Popular modeling software. Similar to Pro/E, Solidworks, etc. This was done in V5R13. I think newer versions of Catia (possibly other modeling softwares?) are downwardly compatible with the file format.

    Hi,

    Before download it I have a question: Your model is in inches or mm?

    Thank you,

    Zoltan

    inches - but I think you can change it to mm easily in CATIA - actually it may automatically come up in mm if that is your default setting in Catia.

    Awesome !

    Sporqster,

    You have created some great work there. I can confirm the model loads fine in V5R15.

    Also when looking at a part it looks like it is converting to mm as this is my setup. Brilliant !

    I use Catia also at work. It's a shame the price of it put's it out of most people's price bracket. It really is a stunning package.

    Many thanks for sharing this. This may spur my friend on this winter to start his cnc.

    I don't envy you putting this together. Thats one impressive list of constraints !

    (A weird thing is I couldn't get them all to hide so the screen shots are showing some......)

    Brilliant work. Thanks !

    thanks

    Here's a trick for hiding or showing constraints- hit CTRL-F - brings up the search screen. search for: Constraints
    hit the select button, and then right click on any one of the selected constraints and select "hide". It'll hide all of them including the ones in subassy's.

    I think I've got a macro that'll do that too... what did I do with it?!?

    Would one of you be willing to export the catia artwork to either STEP or IGES? That way others (like myslef) can import them to solidworks, inventor, ect....

    Thanks,

    I know that Solidworks can export the files out in a stand alone exe file, that allows any user to view them, without having to own or install solidwoks. Can Catia do the same? I would be interested in seeing the difference ( if any ) between a Catia drawing and a Solidworks drawing.

    It may, or it may with extensions I don't have, but I've not figured out how to make it work. Wish I could- that would be a really cool feature!

    Very useful tip. Thanks for that one. If you come across the macro It would be ideal.

    I don't have the feature to export as an .exe however I have exported as a vrml file that is quite useful. I suspect it may require a decent spec machine to view it and manipulate.

    A VRML plugin is available here :-

    Hopefully the Catia export should be attached.

    Cheers.
