Catia V4 to V5 batch - Parts instead of Assemblies?
Catia V4 to V5 batch - Parts instead of Assemblies?
(OP)
Is there an option to convert V4 migration data as CATPart assemblies, as opposed to CATProducts with a billion chaotic little pieces?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If you can find that at least it would be a temporary workaround.

I occasionally do it that way - but I don't like the extra step, and the CATProduct conversions are absolutely horrible. They sometimes cause problems when attempting to use the "CATPart from CATProduct" function.
Thank you for your input, nonetheless...

In my opinion, if you don't need all those parts coming from a v4 to v5 migration of an assembly, its better to simply drag the v4 model from Windows Explorer to v5 window, go to Master, pick what solid you want, copy in clipbord, then in a new Part Design window Paste Special.
Hope I understood well what you need.

The limited history comes across in the batch, though. And, unfortunately, (for whatever reason) the batch mode tends to produce better results. Not to mention that doing the manual way is very tedious. It is no good for large batches.
You understood alright, though.

Also, you can copy/paste special/CATIA_SPEC interactively to migrate V4 solids to V5 one at a time.
