Previously, I tried to learn C++ but left it after a while. Now, I see, Macro in CATIA is a notable built-in tool to build some mechanical parts or automate some products, and if I am right, it uses C++ programming language. Before I back to CATIA from Rhino I began to develop my python as a beginner and I still am doing that. I recently researched, whether python has any position in CATIA or not. I found some usage of python in CATIA but not considerably. Some modules of python such as... Read more ..read more

I want to repeat the small circle eight times in a circular path, through the parametric method so that when I change the size or position one of the holes, all holes follow the changes. I tried to use "integer" option in f(x) but don't know how to constrain and repeat the small circle so that when I change the values relative to the circle, the eight holes in the solid shape follow the change altogether? ...

Is a parametric gear design producible, actually or it is mostly a theoretical topic? I am thinking; is a parametric gear accurate highly to be manufactured without any defect or failure such as creating noise or being asynchronous partially? Can I trust such type of designing in Catia exactly ..read more
