INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKET- An Insight into the fiercely competitive battle with the Dragon.

India's economic progress pales when compared to China's stellar growth. But the crouching Indian tiger should not be ignored. India already has entered Asia's elite league of auto-producing nations. If global OEMs want to rule India's roads, they will have to build world-class cars with Indian cost structures.

    

In our Endeavour to promote excellence in CATIA, we continue with our series of articles on Tips & Tricks to enhance your CATIA work environment. You may find these tips useful and would assist you in your design process.

Creating and customizing your own toolbars in CATIA can be very useful and time saving, depending on the commands and icons you frequently use. CATIA allows you to add commands to the standard toolbars but also gives you the option of creating your own.
