product to part

product to part

(OP)
hi

Is it possbile to keep the  colours constant as its was when creating part from product.I use the command to generate catpart from catproduct.
Please suggest me if there is any work around.

Thanks inadvance

RE: product to part

Step the file out, step it in - change the export options to AP214 iso, this will maintain colours & levels.  Assemblies: One Step file.  Make sure the option under the import section - One CATProduct for each product is off.

Regards,
Derek

Thanks derek for the reply

The method what ur describing is about step conversion, those settings are ok but what i was intended for is it possible for maintaining colours when converting a product to part without maintaining levels in the structure

RE: product to part

Unfortunately you loose the colours and levels.  Catia is creating new geometry with the Generate Catpart from Product.  The new geometry creation rule is by default level None and colour grey.  Sorry, I provided a work around without the "why"

Regards,
Derek
 

RE: product to part

YES YOU CAN!

1. Open CATProduct
2. Change color of PartBody(s) or GeometricalSet(s) only!
3. Generate CATPart from CATProduct.  

Note: If you change color of the "Instances" it will not work!  

Hope this helps!

5050t - It does keep the colour of the base solid - internal feature colour is lost.

RE: product to part

movia - If you have R17 you can select "Keep colors and attributes on subelements" from the Product to Part dialog box.  This option keeps the visual aspect of the original data.  

If you do not select Keep colors and attributes on subelements, the whole solid takes the color of the original body.

If you select Keep colors and attributes on subelements, the color you have applied to a face is kept.

Peter,

That's the stuff I told you about... you need DF1 license :
Product Data Filtering (we do not have it in production)
