CATIA V5 - NC - Extract Surface and Axis System

Sometimes you end up with a really large die or casting but you simply want to machine a certain part of it without having to load the entire model. This demo shows how to extract the needed surfaces. Also, it's useful to copy the die origin as that can act as your machining origin.

Hi and thanks for the tips,
I have an axis in the space which is not absolute axis system of the part, Can I make it absolute axis system of the part?

I really don't know what you were doing . I think it should be a sheet metal isn't?

Technically it’s not standard sheetmetal because it does not have uniform thickness. It’s a stamping part that has non planar surfaces that require the steps shown in the video.
