This task shows you how:
|
|
Open the document DITTOS-BOULON.model
in CATIA V5. This model contains a Detail and several Dittos.
|
|
For Dittos, there is the possibility to Check and Copy
AS RESULT or AS SPEC. The first part of this scenario deals with the
Check and Copy AS RESULT operation and the second part with
the Check and Copy AS SPEC process. |
|
More
information about the Ditto's Properties
|
|
To read more information about the Ditto's properties:
-
Right-click *DIT26:
-
Select the Properties contextual command.
There is a new tab called Ditto containing information about
the Ditto and you can know the Name of the Detail.
|
|
|
|
Copying / Pasting V4
Dittos and Details into CATIA V5
|
|
-
Apply a Check AS RESULT on the .model before
copying it in CATIA V5: Click *MASTER and the Geometry Check icon
.
The Check validity dialog box is displayed:
Dittos are not checked for the moment, which explains the
existence of this message "Not supported Geometry check Error".
If you want to check AS RESULT their underlying components: click
the BOULON tab. You can also visualize the Detail and check it.
If the Check AS RESULT is valid for the Detail, it is also valid
for its copies, the Dittos.
Soon, the Check of the Dittos will automatically take
place on the linked Detail.
-
Copy and Paste Special the *MASTER of the .model into
another CATPart document using the CATIA_RESULT option:
-
Click OK. You obtain the following result:
-
To be usable by links in the CATPart, the bodies from the
Details are automatically updated in CATIA V5 after their Paste AS RESULT
operation. If an error is detected, a warning message appears at the end
of the paste operation: "CATIA V4 elements must be locally updated before
its CopyAsResultWithLink for Dittos. One CATIA V4 element XXX from the
Detail YYY presents errors during its local update." The features
affected by the error are locally deactivated within the Specifications
Tree.
However, it is necessary to update your Part in order to compute
all the other elements. Click the Part and the Update icon
to compute the geometry:
The V4 structure of Detail - Dittos is maintained into the
same Part thanks to the V5 CopyAsResultWithLink functionality
(it is named in the Part tree as
CARWL). The content of the Detail is copied / pasted AS RESULT
once: (*SOL) (BOULON) and the geometry (Point, Line, etc) into Geometric
Set.1.
These elements are put in the NO SHOW space, and the Dittos
are maintained through links (called CopyAsResultWithLink) on them. |
|
If you modify the body Solid.1 from the Detail in the No
Show space, all the Dittos will be modified. |
|
-
Apply a Check AS
SPEC on the Boulon on the Boulon tab before copying it in CATIA V5. The following
messages indicate that you can copy / paste AS SPEC this model:
As it was seen above, Dittos are not checked for the moment. If
you want to check AS SPEC their underlying components: click the
BOULON tab. You can also visualize the Detail and check it.
If you double-click on one of the messages, you have access to the
structure of the Detail's solid (*SOL62).
-
Copy and Paste AS SPEC the *MASTER into a CATPart. The
body of the Detail (*SOL62) (BOULON) is copied / pasted AS SPEC:
|
|
To be usable by links, in the CATPart, the Details'
bodies are automatically updated in CATIA V5 after their Paste
AS SPEC operation. If an error is detected, a warning message appears at
the end of the Paste operation: "CATIA V4 elements must be locally updated
before its CopyAsResultWithLink for Dittos. One CATIA V4 element XXX from
the Detail YYY presents errors during its local update." The features
affected by the error are locally deactivated within the Specifications
Tree.
However, it is necessary to update your Part in order to
compute all the other elements. |
|
-
Update your document:
|
|
The V4 structure is maintained through the V5
functionality of CopyAsResultWithLink into the same Part. The content of
the Detail is copied / pasted AS SPEC once: it creates the body, PartBody
(*SOL62) (BOULON), and the geometry into Geometric Set.1. The elements are put
into the No Show space, and the Dittos are maintained through links (called
"CopyAsResultWithLink"
and also named CARWL in the Part tree) on them. |
|
The geometric elements contained in the Detail (workspace) have
been copied in the NO SHOW space of the CATPart:
If you modify some features of the body Part Body (*SOL62) (BOULON)
from the Detail in the No Show space (for instance Sketch.1), all the
Dittos will be modified.
|

-
Specific cases for
the Copy / Paste As Spec or As Result of Details/Dittos:
The migration from a Model
into a CATPart is inappropriate for some entities. If you try to Copy
/ Paste these entities, there is a Warning Panel which advises to use
the MigrationV4ToV5 Batch.
These specific cases are
described in: Copying / Pasting a
Model with Dittos in CATIA V5.
|
|
-
Convert this CATIA Version 4 model into CATIA Version 5
in Batch mode. For more information about launching the Migration Batch,
refer to Converting CATIA Version 4 Models into
CATIA Version 5 with the PLMV4ToV5Migration Batch.
The results in CATIA V5 are as follows:
|
|
Migration AS RESULT in Batch mode (Update your document):
Migration AS SPEC in Batch mode (Update your document):
With the migration AS SPEC, you have access to the
Dittos' specifications. Therefore, you can modify them.

Detail used for Ditto |
In the
interactive mode, with the copy / paste AS RESULT of Dittos, the
elements of the linked Detail are copied AS RESULT, updated, and put
into the No Show space.
In the Batch Mode, the elements of the linked Detail
are copied AS RESULT. |
In the interactive mode, with the copy / paste AS SPEC
of Dittos, the elements of the linked Detail are copied AS SPEC,
updated, and put in the No Show space.
In the Batch Mode, you get a V5 Part or a Product. |
Ditto |
In the
interactive mode, the Dittos are represented in the Part by a link on
the bodies managed by the copy AS RESULT operation of the Detail
elements.

Detail for
Macro-Primitives |
N/A |
In the interactive mode,
for the copy / paste AS SPEC of a solid using Macro-Primitives, the
elements of the linked Detail are copied AS SPEC, updated, and put in
the No Show space. |
Macro-Primitives |
In the interactive mode,
the solid who contains the Macro-Primitive is copied AS RESULT: it
means that only its BRep is copied, without specifications. |
In the interactive mode,
the Macro-Primitives are represented within the specifications tree of
the body by links with the copy AS SPEC of the Detail elements. |
