Translation to Catia

Translation to Catia

Translation to Catia

(OP)
I know there are some translation programs from Catia to Solidworks. How about the other way around - Solidworks to Catia ? My company is thinking about switching to Catia so were discusing all the options.

RE: Translation to Catia

You can only save to Catia graphics with SW... you might try looking at the same translator that brings in Catia files as a way out as well (Formatworks)... otherwise you will have to use a standard translation like "STEP".

RE: Translation to Catia

A lot of our new clients will only do buisness with a company that uses Catia as their 3D Cad software. Thats the only reason that I know of. To be honest I just dont like it - I've worked with both sofwares and I think SW is just better. As far as I know there's no technological reason for this switch.
