The new file is saved into the generativeparameters sub-directory. Select a name for the new style (for example, MyGenerativeStyle) and click Save. The recommended practice is to use one of the existing styles for the customization, therefore, select DefaultGenerativeStyle.xml in the File pull-down list and click Save As New. Select generativeparameters in the Category pull-down list. Start CATIA in admin mode and select Tools > Standards to open the Standard Definition dialog box. You can find the full description of all the parameters in the CATIA’s Help Documentation, in the Generative Drafting > Administration Tasks > Setting Generative View Style Parameters section.īefore you start customizing generative view styles, make sure you have set the CATCollectionStandard environment variable, as well as have created a directory to store the customized styles, as explained in my blog post CATIA V5 Admin Mode, Part 2: Customizing Drafting Standards. For example – what should be the line type and thickness for the section views? Or – which color should be used for the fillets? ViewDressupparameters: These define the style of the dress-up details.For example – should the wireframe elements be projected? Or – should the plies of the composite part be shown? Generate parameters: These specify which 3D entities should be shown in the view.The general drafting parameters fall into the following two categories:
There are workbench-specific view style parameters (i.e., HVAC Design, Tubing, Sheet Metal, Composites, etc.) and general drafting parameters.
– How should the fillets be represented? Should center lines and axes be displayed? What should be the line type and thickness for the section profile? Etc. Generative View Styles in CATIA define how the drawing views are generated from your 3D model. In this post, we will discuss customization of the Generative View Styles.

In my previous posts: CATIA V5 Admin Mode, Part 1: Setting Up and CATIA V5 Admin Mode, Part 2: Customizing Drafting Standards I explained how to set up CATIA to run in admin mode, as well as how to use the admin mode to customize drafting standards.
