Workflow: Creating Text on a Complex Surface in Type3 CAA V5
Using Type3 within the CAA environment provides distinct advantages over traditional standalone design software:
Users can directly import image files (BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF) and instantly vectorize them into usable CATIA sketch geometry. Parameters for noise filtering, smoothing, and tolerance allow for clean, machine-ready curves.
