INTRODUCTION
Catia has become a leader in product development software and may be exactly what is needed
to overcome the shortcomings of CAD software.

The next step is to create a 2-dimensional profile of the part. The Sketcher Work
Bench is a two-dimensional (planar) work area. To use the Sketcher Work Bench, you must
specify which plane the profile is to be created on. Specifying, the plane can be done several
different ways.

1.4 MODIFYING THE PROFILE USING CHAMFER
The Chamfer icon is also located in the Operations tool bar. This procedure assumes you
know what a chamfer is. The steps required to create a chamfer are almost identical to creating a
corner. Select the Chamfer icon.
The command prompt at the bottom left hand of the screen , will prompt you with
the following: Select the first curve, or a common point. For this exercise select line 5.
The next command prompt will ask you to Select the second curve.
Fig 1.6
1.5 Constraint
This tool allows you to create individual constraints, one at time. You have already applied a
constraint and may not even know it. The Anchor icon is a constraint. The values attached to the
Chamfer and Corner are constraints. To apply Dimensional Constraints complete the following
steps:
1. Select the Constraint icon.
2. Select the line and/or Sketcher element to be constrained.
3. The Sketcher element will turn green (constraint symbol) along with the appropriate
dimension and box with the value in it. To re-locate the constraint value, select the value
box and drag the mouse to the desired location.
5
4. If the initial location of the constraint is not satisfactory re-select the dimension and drag
and drop it at the new location.
5. To edit the value of the constraint double click on the value box. This will bring up the
Constraint Definition pop up window shown in. This window shows the existing value
forthe Sketcher element. This value can be edited by typing the newvalue over the
existing value. Then select OK or hit the Enter key. The entities linked to the constraint
will automatically be updated to the new value.
6. If the constraint is between two different entities, such as lines, select the first line and
then the second line. CATIA V5 will constrain the distance between the two entities. The
constraint value will appear near the constraint. To move the constraint value. For this
lesson constrain your L Shaped Extrusion like the one shown in Figure
Fig 1.7
1.6 Practice Exercises:
Now that your CATIA V5 tool box has some tools in it, put them to use on the following
practice exercises. The shapes are simple and can be completed in one sketch. The dimensions
represent the constraints you are to use in the Sketcher Work Bench. The first practice exercise
has the suggested steps to completing the task along with some helpful hints?
6
Each subsequent practice exercise contains less suggested steps and helpful hints. By the
last practice exercise you will be on your own.
Using the Sketcher Work Bench and create the following profile and extrude to the
dimensions shown below. When completed save as CAT Part.
Fig 1.8
Suggested Steps:
1. Select the XY plane (the plane the profile will be sketched on).Reference Step 3 for
information on selecting planes.
2. Enter the Sketcher Work Bench. Reference Step 4.
3. Sketch the profile of the part. Hint: use the Profile tool.
4. Anchor the lower left hand corner of the sketch. For anchoring a profile.
5. Constrain t h e p r o f i l e to match the dimensions shown above. Reference S t e p 18
for constraining a profile.
6. Exit the Sketcher Work Bench, return to the Part Design Work Bench (the 3D
environment). Reference Step 21 for exciting the Sketcher Work Bench and entering the Part
Design Work Bench.
7. Once in the Part Design Work Bench extrude the profile to the dimension shown (2).
Reference Step 22 for extruding a profile.
8. Save the part as told in Reference Step23for saving a file.
7
This part (profile) should be straightforward. This would be a good exerciseto try
different methods of constraining and testing the results. Save the shape as mensioned.
Exercise 2.CAT Part.
Fig 1.9
To help make it easier to sketch this part set the grid Primary Spacing to 1and the Graduations
to 4. This will put the grid lines in the Sketcher screen to a .25 inch spacing. With that spacing
all you have to do is snap to the intersections of the grid to sketch the part.
This practice exercise is a little bit more challenging, lets see what you can down with it. Save
this CAT Part as Exercise 3.CATPart.
Fig 1.10
8
It is not as complicated as it looks. If your grid Graduations is set to 10 just snap to the
intersections for the beginning and ending points of your lines. To set the constraint for the
angles select the angled lines and the angle constraint will appear. Reference Step 19 for
modifying the angle value. If the profile gets over constrained delete the Parallel constraint.
Save the file as Exercise 3.CATPart.
This practice exercise should challenge you. For this part use radius values, not angles.
Save this CAT Part as Exercise 4.CATPart.
Fig 1.11
This part can be done using the radius option in the profile command. Before starting, set the
grid Primary Spacing to 1 and the Graduations to 4.
9
4. Now sketch the first arc along the top of the part. To do this hold down the left mouse
button and drag it in the direction you want the arc to go then release the mouse button.
The arc will appear and allow you to drag and place it where you want. Place it on the
grid intersection 2 inches above the bottom of the part and a half-inch to the right. This
will only create half of the arc needed, so the process will have to be repeated to sketch
the other half of the arc.
5. Finish sketching the rest of the part. When you reach the inside .25 radius,
6. When the sketch is done constrain it to double check that all the dimensions match the
part shown above. Make the necessary changes if needed.
This will give you more practice using the line and corner icons. Save this CAT Part as
Exercise 5.CAT Part
Fig 1.12
Use the Line or Profile icon first to sketch the profile using sharp corners (no radius).
Once it is constrained to the dimensions above, go back and add in the radiuses using the Corner
icon.
