In this presentation, the best practice of programmatically creating CATIA views / captures / cameras by importing camera datasets from external application(s) is described and demonstrated; The CATIA internal built-in process that creates view/capture/camera objects dynamically and establishes the relationship among those objects programmatically is discussed as well;
In this presentation, we also described in detail on DS CATIA CAA API issues that we discovered during the development process, and on lessons learned, solutions to solve the API issues, tips and techniques, etc. Working code examples for creating CATIA camera, capture and view objects are also presented;
At the end of this presentation, an illustration example of a real Production Illustration (PI) case is demonstrated with snapshots of pictures.
