6. Back in CATIA, update the sketch to visualize the modifications.

Parallel view

Perspective

The element (identified as Painting x) is displayed in the specification tree under the Painting Gallery node.You are now ready to create the corresponding geometry.

Positioning the ViewPositioning using the Cylindrical View

Positioning using the Conical ViewPositioning using an Existing Sketch

Positioning using the Cylindrical ViewThis task shows you how to define the position of a sketch according to a cylindrical view: front, top, bottom or side view within the document.

Generally speaking, sketch positioning is done in three steps:

1. defining the import view, in relation to the document view defined using the standard View toolbar (Quick View sub-toolbar).2. positioning the local axis-system (model axis) onto the image3. scaling the image in relation to the geometry within the document using information from the image: the distance between two points

along one of the model axis direction, thus setting the rectangle's or the line's size. Then it may be necessary to zoom in or out to get the rectangle or the line to match these two points, using local manipulators.

An image has been loaded as described in Creating an Immersive Sketch.

1. From the View toolbar, choose the Left View icon .


2. From the Sketch Parameters dialog box, choose the Set cylindrical view icon.

The image size is indicated in the dialog box, for information.A dashed rectangular frame is displayed representing the size of the image, and scale in relation to the document. Several manipulators are available, to help you scale and position the sketch properly:The displayed axis-system allows you to define the document's origin.

❍ to define the document's origin:

❍ to set the size: drag the arrow one way or the other, or right-click an arrow, choose the Edit contextual menu and specify a value:

❍ to set the dimension: click the tag to edit the dimension:

❍ to rotate the rectangular frame about the model axis:

❍ to zoom in or out the image in relation to the document, thus scaling it. The rectangle's size remains unchanged:

❍ to perform a scaling and rotation, as described above, at the same time:

Two options are available from the dialog box:

Using a cubeThis option enables you to define the view using a rectangle.The loaded image looks like this:

1. Move the pointer over the axis-system's middle point and position it at the correct location.

2. Release the axis-system's middle point when you are satisfied with its position.

3. Define the axis orientation:

❍ click the Flip arrow at any time to invert the orientation and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also Copying/Pasting a

Sketch.)

❍ right-click the Flip arrow to change the orientation and set another axis.

4. Move over to one of the frame's corner to define the model size.

5. With the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click and choose the Edit contextual menu item.

The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin.

If you move the manipulators, the model size does not change.

You can also be simply drag the Size manipulator to the correct location, provided the scaling already is correct.The results may be something like this, with the rectangular frame's limit outside the image's limits, which may not correspond to your needs.

6. Using the Zoom manipulator, zoom the image in or out to define the image scale in relation to the geometry.

The rectangular frame's size being retained, the image is in fact zoomed, thus defining the scale.Once the scale has been defined using the zoom in one direction, you do not need to redefine it in the other direction.

7. Check and, if needed, modify the size in the other direction.

It is best not to use the zooming capability in both directions, but rather to set it once for the whole image

Using a Line This option enables you to define the view using a line.

The loaded image looks like this:

1. Move the pointer over the first point and position it at the correct location.

2. Release the point when you are satisfied with its position (it is not necessarily the origin).

3. Perform the same operation with the second point.

The cylindrical view is now aligned.

4. Define the axis orientation:

❍ click the Flip arrow at any time to invert the orientation and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also Copying/Pasting a

Sketch.)

❍ right-click the Flip arrow to change the orientation and set another axis.

5. Define the model size.

6. With the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click, and choose the Edit contextual menu item.

The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin

If you move the manipulators, the model size does not change.

7. Click the Stretch option to allow the manipulation and distortion of the image.

Two new manipulators are displayed to:

❍ modify the handle position and define the stretch origin:

❍ stretch the image:

8. Define the stretch origin using the circle manipulator.

9. Use the arrows to stretch the image or right-click and choose the Edit contextual menu item.

The circle is displayed in dotted lines, meaning that the origin can no longer be modified.Here is the result of a distortion:

To cancel the distortion applied to the image, simply click the Reset button or right-click the circle manipulator and choose the Edit contextual menu item.

3. Once you are satisfied with both the image size and the rectangular frame positioning, click OK in the dialog box.

The image has been imported into the .CATProduct document and a Painting feature is added to the specification tree. You can now manipulate the image as any element into a .CATProduct or .CATPart document.

❍ You can trim the image itself, using the manipulators on the solid green frame.

❍ Click on the Focus Off text at the bottom of the image to reset the image parallel to the screen. You can also choose the Activate Viewpoint contextual menu.

Once you have clicked this text, it changes to Focus On and lets you zoom or move (grabbing the red triangles) the image within the document, independently of the compass. Note that you cannot rotate the image.

To return to standard document manipulations, click the Focus On text, or choose the Deactivate Viewpoint contextual menu.

Positioning using the Conical ViewThis task shows you how to define the position of a sketch according to a conical view.

Generally speaking, sketch positioning is done in three steps:

1. defining the import view, in relation to the document view defined using the standard View toolbar (Quick View sub-toolbar).2. positioning the local axis-system (model axis) onto the image3. scaling the image in relation to the geometry within the document using information from the image: the distance between two points

along one of the model axis direction, thus setting the cube's size. Then it may be necessary to zoom in or out to get the cube to match these two points, using local manipulators.

An image has been loaded as described in Creating an Immersive Sketch.From the samples directory, select the Phone1.tif image.

1. From the Sketch Parameters dialog box, choose the Set conical view icon.

You do not need to define a view in the View toolbar to import the sketch.

The image size is indicated in the dialog box, for information.


A dashed cubic frame is displayed representing the size of the image, and scale in relation to the document. Several manipulators are available, to help you scale and position the sketch properly:The displayed axis-system allows you to define the document's origin.

❍ to define the document's origin:

❍ to set the size: drag the arrow one way or the other, or right-click an arrow, choose the Edit contextual menu and specify a value:

❍ to set the dimension: click the tag to edit the dimension:

❍ to rotate the cubic frame around X axis:

❍ to rotate the cubic frame around Y axis:

❍ to rotate the cubic frame around Z axis:

❍ to zoom in or out the image in relation to the document, thus scaling it. The rectangle's size remains unchanged.:

❍ to perform a scaling and rotation, as described above, at the same time:

❍ to adjust the cube to the view:

2. Move the pointer over the axis-system's middle point and position it at the correct location.

3. Release the axis-system's middle point when you are satisfied with its position.

4. Right-click the the Flip arrow to define the axis orientation. You can either:

❍ inverse the orientation using the Flip options, or

❍ change the orientation and set another axis using the Set to options

5. Define the cube rotation around three axes:

❍ around X

❍ around Y

❍ around Z

6. Set the vanishing line using the perspective manipulators to adjust the cube to the view.

7. Move the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click, and choose the Edit contextual menu item.

The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin to define the model's size.

You can also click the value tag to display the Tuner dialog box, or simply drag the Size manipulator to the correct location, provided the scaling already is correct.

8. Once you are satisfied with both the image size and the cubic frame positioning, click OK in the dialog box.

The image has been imported into the .CATProduct document and a Painting feature is added to the specification tree.

You can now manipulate the image as any element into a .CATProduct or .CATPart document.

❍ You can click the Flip text at any time to invert the axis orientation, and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also Copying/Pasting a Sketch)

❍ You can also trim the image itself, using the manipulators on the solid green frame.

❍ Click on the Focus Off text at the bottom of the image to reset the image parallel to the screen. You can also choose the Activate Viewpoint contextual menu.

Once you have clicked this text, it changes to Focus On and lets you zoom or move (grabbing the red triangles) the image within the document, independently of the compass. Note that you cannot rotate the image.

To return to standard document manipulations, click the Focus On text, or choose the Deactivate Viewpoint contextual menu.

Positioning using an Existing SketchThis task shows you how to copy the parameters of an existing sketch by selecting it in the specification tree while editing or creating another sketch.

This capability enables to use the properties of existing sketches to fasten their positioning and definition.● An image has been loaded as described in Creating an Immersive Sketch.

● The Left View icon was selected from the View toolbar to import the sketch within this view.

● The Set cylindrical view type was selected from the Sketch Parameters dialog box.


The image size is indicated in the dialog box shows a size of 1237 X 651.

1. Use the manipulators to scale and position the sketch.

2. Click OK in the dialog box.

The image has been imported into the .CATProduct document and a Painting feature is added to the specification tree.

3. Load a second image as described in Creating an Immersive Sketch.

You can see that the orientation and the size of this sketch is different from the first one: it shows a size of 1243 X 799.

4. In the specification tree, click the first Painting feature.

You can see that:❍ the view orientation of the second sketch is the same as the selected sketch

❍ the current sketch is centered on the selected sketch and proportionally scaled.

As a consequence, scaling and positioning the second sketch will be quicker and easier.

Sketch Tracer InteroperabilityOptimal CATIA PLM Usability for Sketch Tracer

Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for Sketch Tracer

When working with ENOVIA V5, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA. Therefore, in interoperability mode, some CATIA V5 commands are grayed out / hidden in the Sketch Tracer workbench.

ENOVIA V5 offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept).

To ensure seamless integration, you must have both a CATIA and ENOVIA session running.

Please find below the list of the Sketch Tracer commands along with their accessibility status in Enovia V5. In some cases, restriction rules apply to certain commands.

Command Accessibility in Enovia LCA

Create an Immersive Sketch Yes (only if the target is not in Explode Mode)
