Hi guys,
I'm new to Catia V5 after 20 years on ProE.
I want to do something that should be simple, but I cant find a way.
I have created a number of individual parts that will be welded together, these have "rough out" dimensions.
I have assembled them into a product representing the welded fabrication.
Now I want to carry out machining operations by creating final machined holes and cuts.
Trouble is, when I create a final machined assembly feature it propagates down to the part, so I cannot release the part as I had designed it with rough out dimensions.
Please advise how I stop assembly features propagating to child parts.
In ProE; assembly features don't propagate down, but I cannot find the switch to set this in Catia.
Thanks
David
