3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x: 3D Tolerancing and Annotation

This learning guide has numerous practices that will help you acquire the skills to create and display engineering, manufacturing, and assembly information directly on the 3D part, assembly, or process model. This extensive hands-on guide will provide you with a thorough understanding of geometric tolerances, dimensions, notes, and other annotations critical to the accurate and cost-effective creation of mechanical parts and assemblies. The 3D Tolerancing and Annotation guide complies with the industry and government initiated American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) Y14.41 3D standards for the creation and submission of model only, paperless design applications.

Topics Covered:

• Introduction to 3D tolerancing and annotation
• 3D Tolerancing & Annotation (3D T&A) application overview
• Annotation process
• Extracting 2D views from the 3D model
• Annotation planes and extraction views
• Construction geometry
• Semantic and non-semantic annotations
• Datum reference frames
• Tolerance Advisor
• Basic dimensions
• Annotations: text, flag notes, datum elements, datum targets, surface texture, and dimensions
• Restricted areas
• Threads
• Annotation visualization tools: query, grouping, leader symbols, annotation mirror and transfer, and filters
• Cameras and captures
• Geometry connection management
• 3D T&A analysis and reporting
• Annotation creation at the product level
• 3D Annotation Insight app
