Introduction
Designing is all about innovation which breaks all the barriers of imagination. Though designing is the root of imagination but it is like a branch which spread and spread wider. The more you go nearer the more it gets robust. Designing is something which you cannot count, which you cannot weight but all we can do is feel the richness of design. Let me give you an example: We go home, we sit on a chair and we use the comforts. Did ever we thought that why it is so comfortable? Yes, we do but the only difference is we feel the design in terms of comfortness and looks. Now we understand that designing is very much important to our day-to-day life and its something beyond measure. This book will guide you to design a BOTTLE using image tracer function in Catia V5. In this tutorial, we will learn how to add images, what are the parameters required to consider and what can be done if we lost some icons. To create a BOTTLE we have to work on Generative Shape design, Wireframe and surface design and definitely Part design workbench.

Objective 1: Customize the setting of user interface Open the attachment. Copy any image of that bottle and past on your desktop and name it as Plastic Bottle. Now open your catia user interface. Go to the upper left corner and open start>Shape>Generative Shape Design. Uncheck enable hybrid design and hit ok. Go to the insert option in the top of the navigation bar and insert geometrical set Rename it as setting 1 and hit ok.

Objective 3: Adding material and image Click on add material icon which is on you bottom navigation bar. Go to other option and select material type as Plastic, click on the extrude1 from specification tree then apply material, and close. Change your view to shading with material Double click on the plastic from the specification tree and chose rendering option. Type = image Mapping = cubical mapping Material size= 50mm Browse image= Select Plastic Bottle from DESKTOP, and hit ok. See the images mentioned below and follow the instruction carefully.

OBJECTIVE 5: Use of revolve command Select the sketch that you drew and hit on revolve icon If you do not get the revolve icon then go to the Insert option on the upper navigation bar INSERT > SURACES > REVOLVE. Set limit one as 180 and limit two as 0 and select revolution axis as the sketch 1. Then hit ok. Now check whether the image you drew is identical with the picture mentioned below. If yes then proceed to objective 6 otherwise make that image identical.

Objective 7: Creation of grip on the surface of bottle Select y-z axis and hit on sketcher Now opposite the direction of plane by normal view icon Select spline again and draw the structure as shown below Now see the picture carefully Hit on rotate icon and make it little bit isometric, so that you can see the arc as well as spline points. Hold Ctrl+endpoint of arc+point in spline that is near to the arc and select constraint definition and make it coincident constrain
