Import / Export

(OP)
I have a file .exp and we can view it in a program called AutoVue, it seems to be a catia model V4, we sent it to a customer who uses Catia V5 can says he cannot open it, is there a method to opening this model in catia?

RE: Import / Export

Hi,

Maybe its not v4....or you should use Tools-Utility-..in v5..

Somewhere at the bottom of this page http://filext.com/alphalist.php?extstart=%5EE

EXP    Export File
EXP    ICQ Saved Chat File (ICQ Inc.)
EXP    Drawing Express CAD Drawing File (Trial Systems)
EXP    CATIA Export File (Dassault Systèmes)
EXP    Melco Embroidery Design File
EXP    PharLap Protected Mode Executable Program
EXP    STEP Express Schema
EXP    QuickBooks (Intuit Inc.)
EXP    ASCET Binary Model Description (ETAS GmbH)
EXP    Viscal C++ Export File (Microsoft)

Good luck

Regards
Fernando

RE: Import / Export

It could also be that your customer is clueless.  It cannot be "opened".  It must be extracted.  This is well documented online, and in the help documentation.

There is very little chance that this is NOT a V4 file if you can see it with AutoVue.

Right at the bottom left of AutoVue it tells me:
CATIA EXPORT V4 R2.4

AutoVue is telling what file it is

The file will not let me extract it, RMB will not list extraction. strange!

RE: Import / Export


RMB will not list extraction, because it is a utility, not a command.

I would recommend that you refer to the help documentation, or search the forum for extracting .exp files.
