Yep. They're crazy cheap. Only $5K, and they don't do anything else.

You have to migrate the file to V5 in order to save it...

RE: Catia step
Not true at all.
The way to save .model directly as STEP, is to insert the .model into a .CATProduct as "existing component". It's not exactly a simple "save as", but it's much less complicated than a migration. I tend to avoid migrating files wherever possible.

RE: Catia step
Again, if you open a V4 file in V5 you can not save it.
If you insert a V4 model in a V5 CATProduct this is another story as you do not have access to all the information inside the V4 file.
Your "file / save" menu is blanked out because you open the V4 file (directly).
....unless I am wrong again...

RE: Catia step
With that you can create STEPs. Not from eakt data but from tesselated data with a very fine tesselation.
That program is much cheaper than CATIAs STEP.

RE: Catia step
You told him that he had to MIGRATE to Catia. Inserting into a CATProduct is NOT migrating. (that would be the function of the MIGRATION utility)
This is certainly not just a matter of semantics....
