When I search the help in NX, I get the following:
It doesn't say anything about extra translators
this is help for "open part file dialog"

Here's the text of the call I submitted,
Greetz, At a training sales seminar, they told us that NX had a beta catia translator included. But did not give information on how to get the translator to work....
Please give me those instructions.

The result of the Beta testing was that the Catia V4 Model Import/Export did not meet our production standards and we have discontinued our relationship with the Alliance partner who developed the tool.
There are no plans for a replacement in the near future.

Choose open file, Type * in file name, you will see all the files in your directory, then select the Catia file.
Does not work for all Catia file.

A Aix/unix space character will look like a Plus/minus sign on a pc. I renamed the .model file(no spaces or any odd characters) then it read in fine.
Had to toggle thru the layers to find the part.
Came up with some message saying these is a beta version of the translator.
And that it may not be included in later releases.
