- Lesson 1 · 23 minCATIA V5 Interface, Workbenches and Your First SketchWhat CATIA V5 is and where it is used, a tour of its user interface, workbenches, specification tree and mouse controls, then the Sketcher workbench toolbars. The lesson ends by planning and starting a phone handset sketch, explaining why a CAD model should be designed with manufacturing in mind.
Lesson 2 · 18 minCATIA V5 Sketcher: Circles, Translate, Mirror and ConstraintsContinues the handset sketch in CATIA V5: drawing the keypad's circular cut-outs with Axis and Circle, duplicating them with Translate and Mirror, adding coincidence and dimensional constraints, and finishing the antenna with Trim until the whole sketch is fully constrained and ready for a 3D feature.
Lesson 3 · 16 minCATIA V5 Sketcher: Corners, Rotate Patterns and a SpannerBuilds a wheel-cover sketch in CATIA V5 with triangular cut-outs made from Line, Mirror, Corner and angular constraints, then repeats them around the centre with Rotate. The second exercise starts a spanner from a reference point using Position Sketch, axis alignment and construction geometry.
