CONVERT A PART CREATED USING PRO-E TO CATIAV5
CONVERT A PART CREATED USING PRO-E TO CATIAV5
(OP)
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME AS HOW TO CONVERT A PART CREATED USING PRO-E TO CATIAV5.THE RESULTING CATPART SHOULD HAVE SAME AXIS AND SAME ORIENTATIoN AS IT WAS HAVING IN PRO-E.I have already tried it by converting it step and iges, but the problem is the default axis is getting changed and as a result am getting the model in catia with different orientation. i.e Y axis in pro-e is getting converted to Z- axis in catia,therefore I tried by creating a new coordinate system in pro-e and selecting the created coordinate system while converting it to *step* format. But still i am not getting the same orientation.I think The axis system which i am creating i pro-e is not the right one. Can someone help me in this issue!
Please elaborate the steps you have followed.

I'm not familiar with CATIA, but when I run into the same situation with Pro/E, I usually need to make a new coordinate system in the recipient part.
Again I don't know how it works with CATIA, but try to make a new coordinate system in that model and reference it when you do the step import.

but i am just confused of creating the new coordinate system in pro-e so that it is exported ssame as in proe.
If you try for a small example , you will get a very clear idea
RE: CONVERT A PART CREATED USING PRO-E TO CATIAV5
Axis Value
X-Axis -90 and
Y-Axis -90
This will create a CSYS with the
X pointing Down and Left /
Y pointing Down and Right and \
Z pointing Up when shown isometrically |
z
|
/ \
x y
ProE, UG, & Catia, each have different default Coordinate Systems and Isometric orientations as shown below. Opening files and exporting them for 3D Adobe presents similar issues.

Please nothe than ProE and CATIA have y and z axex switched.
