Preface
Among today’s computer-aided design (CAD) systems, CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is one of the most widely used in the world. CATIA V5 allows users to automatically create components and reduce repetitive tasks through macros. With pure parametric 3D models this functionally is simply not possible. Unfortunately, there are few books that address the specific concerns of macro programming with CATIA V5. The help documentation of the CATIA V5 macro interface is often too narrow and incomplete. This practical book provides an introduction to the automated creation of CATParts, CATProducts, and geometry. The questions a beginner will face during the process of macro programming are answered clearly and efficiently. ...
