convert .model file to (igs, catpart, solidworks)
convert .model file to (igs, catpart, solidworks)
(OP)
i've searched and found nothing on this.
i have catia 5 rel 16
i want to convert a model file to use in solidworks or mastercamx2.
normally i right click "sheet" (in drawing)
...copy...file...new...drawing(ok)...iso(ok)
screen is "paper/grid" now...paste into sheet1 (in tree)
then i save as igs and import into sw or mcam.
this is not working on my present model file (from customer)
(there is no sheet)
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
ken

IF you open the .model file in V5, then when you double-click the tree you should see some structure.
If you do not see any sheet (2D geometry), contact however gave you the file....

i see some structure but no sheet.
would this mean my file is corrupt?
RE: convert .model file to (igs, catpart, solidworks)
As Eric suggested, you can verify exactly what the .model file is by opening it up in V5. I do see a DRAFT tab in your screen shot, so there might be drawing info there.
Also, as Eric suggested, you probably want to contact your customer and have them resend you a .model file containing a drawing

i have 2 customers that deal only with catia thus they send
me native catia.....i convert for sw or mc.
would a license error be the problem?
i rec this error when starting catia.
[nodelocked or concurrent license form di-tmp28ud (2118) has expired]
would this be the problem?
to all....thanks for help so far.
