Introduction to Catia Compass

In the previous lesson we talk about one of the most important tools in the 3d modeling software, which is the tree. and now I will explain another important tools which is the compass.

Here, I'll offer a brief introduction about Catia v5 Compass, And I will explain it in more detail in other lessons.

Tree In Catia V5

After that we knew an introduction about Catia program, and learned about catia User Interface, Before we get into the details, and delve more into the program, We should learn one of the most important tools in the 3d modeling software, which is the tree.

Here, I'll offer a brief introduction about Specification tree for catia v5 program, And I will explain it in more detail in other lessons.

Profile Creation Tool-bar

Most of the Computer Aided Design programs containing several tools and icons that make drawing more easy and flexibility, in this cad course we will get familiar with Profile Tool-bar that used to generate wireframe drawing with sketcher. The Profile tool-bar contains eight groups of icons each group contains its own drawing tools that make drawing easier.
In this drawing lesson we will talk about the first two groups ( draw a profile consisting of arcs and lines, and predefined profiles) and in the next drawing lessons we will talk about the others groups.

An Overview to Sketcher Workbench

This computer aided design courses aims to give you a general introduction to Sketcher Workbench, so we will learn about how to access this workbench, and how to Select a Sketch Plane, and we will learn about Sketcher Icons and Tool bars, and about Positioning and Selecting the sketch. So at the end of this CAD courses, you must possess the ability to access the Sketcher Workbench, and realize the Sketch Icons and Tool bars. To be ready to the drawing lessons.

Start CATIA, and Open, Save, Close V5 Documents

Most of the 3D modeling software start as any windows software just double click on its icon and the software will start, CATIA V5 one of them. In this computer aided design course, we will  get Familiar with open, save, and close V5 documents, and we will learn different ways to start CATIA V5, and  will learn multi methods to save V5 documents.

The Tree and Compass

In the previous CAD courses we show you how to reach, access, and allocation the preferable workbenches in CATIA (V5) program, and Manipulate Objects by Mouse ( Moving, Selecting, Editing by using mouse), In this CATIA CAD courses, we will learn about TREE & COMPASS tool, Most of the "computer aided design program" contains Tree that explain the process sequence of drawing and design, CATIA Contains a powerful, easy, flexible, and distinctive tree, and contains the most strong tools that used to manipulate and move objects which is Compass.

General Concepts

To complement what we started in the previous lesson, where we talked about the (computer aided design CATIA V5 User Interface), In this lesson we will learn How to reach, access, and allocation the preferable workbenches in CATIA CAD program, and Manipulate Objects by Mouse (Selecting, Moving, Editing by mouse).
