Hello, and thanks for listening. I am somewhat new to CATIA V5. I have taken some very basic training classes to familiarize myself with some of the more elementary tools and capabilities. I am not yet an expert, however, and I'm sure it will take many years before I get there, haha.
To get right to the point, I have a part given to me from a supplier, and it opens in the Regenerative Shape Design workbench. Based on the file and restrictions, it is the only workbench I can open it in, and the entire PartBody tree for the part can't be viewed.
I want to measure the thickness or distance from one face to another, is there a way to do this? When I try to use the 'distance between' tool, the dimension always comes back wrong because it takes a weird diagonal measurement. I want the y-direction distance from face A to face B - can this be done?
Thank you very much. If I need to provide more details, I can. Hopefully this explained it well enough.
