can a 2d be generated from a cgr???

(OP)
Can a 2d (catdrawing) be generated from a cgr?  The cgr was created by saving a catproduct as a "cgr".  We are using V5 R17.

RE: can a 2d be generated from a cgr???

Yes, 1st go into options (drafting + view tab) and change view generation mode to CGR. Then open the CGR file and create the desired drafting views. Note a CGR file can't be opened alone; insert it into a product using "Existing Component".

(OP)
Thanks I tried it with with a small cgr and it worked fine.
I then tried with a cgr that was much larger and I got a memory error.  Any ideas if there is a setting to change?

RE: can a 2d be generated from a cgr???

My guess would be memory limitations at this point but I have one other suggestion. Go back into options and change the view generation mode to Approximate. Then open the original product (not the cgr) and create a drawing view. When in options you can adjust the "configure" option for Time or Level of detail. The Approximate option will drop some detail depending on the configure number you set. Like you did before, try this with a small product first with the configure setting on 1 then on 5 and see the difference. This may get you by for now...

I am working on V5 R15, the CGR doesn't allow me to do section views.

Generating views in CGR mode doesn't allow section view generation. A work around for this situation is to make desired CGR views, then return to options and change to the "approximate" generation setting. This will allow you to generate section views from your previously generated CGR views.
