RE: Unix files
To the best of my knowlage, UNIX and PC based files are not binary compatible. You can unzip them, but Catia PC version will not (as far as I know) be able to read them.
Best regards
RE: Unix files
To my understanding a CATPart can be read by all platforms of the same Catia version.

RE: Unix files
CATParts can be read in both senses without any problem.
You can have problems only with some characters which are inserted in the name of the files when you save them (under UNIX).
Derek is right, just delete those strange characters...

RE: Unix files
We have succeeded in unzipping the gzip-files. Apparently it were Export-files of Catia v4. We have been able to open those *.exp-files with "Tools > Utility > ExtractModelFromSequential..."
On this way we have obtained a MODEL, with Assemblys and Parts in several Tabs. The Model contains also a TAB with Drafts. But at opening we get a report:
DRAWING WARNING:
No internal or External PRJ file
No Visualisation of texts and dimensions.
Please inform the V4 Project File path in Tools/Options.
After clicking OK, we get a Drawing with an empty Titleblock and no dimensions.
In the Options we have to browse to a certain path for the "V4 Project File path". But we haven't a clue, which one to choose.
Has anyone a suggestion?
Regards
Koen and Gregory
RE: Unix files
CATIA V4 saved information such as Fonts, Dimension Styles, Hatching Styles, etc in an external file from the geometry. While your V4 Models may contain the pointers and contents of the text and dimensions, it is looking for that external file to define the appearance of the text and dimensions.
