She followed the included readme.txt carefully:
When CATIA reopened, a new workbench appeared: “Type3 CAA V5” – with icons for Engrave, Serial Number, 2D Barcode, Font Manager.
A specific deep feature of Type3 compared to generic CAD CAM is its handling of Reliefs and Textures.
This paper outlines the technical and functional aspects of TYPE3-CAA V5 Based V5.1 , a specialized add-on designed for CATIA V5R19-R22 . Developed by
, this tool addresses the historical challenge of creating and managing text, logos, and serial numbers within the CATIA environment. 1. Executive Summary
TYPE3-CAA is a 100% associative add-on fully integrated into the Component Application Architecture (CAA)
of Dassault Systèmes. It eliminates the need for manual workarounds (like DXF imports) by providing a dedicated workbench for professional typographic and graphic design directly within the PLM process. 2. Technical Specifications Version Compatibility: Specifically optimized for CATIA V5R19, R20, R21, and R22 Architecture: Type3 CAA V5 Based V5.1 For CATIA V5R19-R22 X86
X86 (32-bit) and 64-bit support. While V5.1 focuses on X86 platforms, it is designed to run within the standard CATIA hardware environment. Module Prerequisites: Requires standard mechanical configurations such as Integration:
Features appear directly in the CATIA construction tree, making them fully parametric and re-editable. Dassault Systèmes 3. Key Functional Features

Type3 CAA V5 Based V5.1 a specialized software add-on developed by that integrates directly into CATIA V5R19-R22
. It provides professional tools for text creation, font management, and image vectorization within the CATIA PLM process. Dassault Systèmes Core Functionalities
The software is primarily used to enhance industrial parts with technical and branding information. Key features include: Parametric Text Creation build/ (Visual Studio solution + project files) docs/
: All text features are fully associative and re-editable through the CATIA construction tree. Font Management
: Supports True Type and Open Type fonts, as well as specialized Stroke fonts (single-line fonts) ideal for machining and marking. Advanced Mapping & Projection
: Allows users to project or map text and logos onto complex 3D surfaces (spherical, cylindrical, or conical). Image Vectorization
: Tools to import and convert BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG images into CATIA curves with dedicated parameters for noise filtering and smoothing. Industrial Significance
Unlike basic DXF imports, Type3 CAA is 100% integrated into the CAA (Component Application Architecture) environment, offering significant time savings and reduced data volume for large-scale engineering projects. Industries
: Widely adopted in aerospace, automotive, luxury watchmaking, and medical equipment manufacturing. Applications She followed the included readme
: Used for adding serial numbers, legal information, CE marking, and decorative logos directly to 3D CAD models. Technical Compatibility This specific version (V5.1) was designed for the X86 (32-bit) architecture, supporting CATIA V5 releases ranging from R19 to R22
. While newer versions of Type3 CAA (such as V5.5) support up to R32 on 64-bit systems, version 5.1 remains a legacy solution for older Windows environments and CATIA configurations. Text Creation in CATIA V5 & 3DEXPERIENCE - TYPE3-CAA
