Hi bkevhead,

You can extract the ".model" from a export file with the command :
.../.../CNEXT.exe -batch -e ExtractModelFromSequential

On windows, copy the raccourci et complete the command after "cnext.exe"

Kevin....

the .exp extension means that the CATIA models and some other stuff were exported. You have to run the CATIMP utility program to import the files into your CATIA system and then you'll be able to read the model files and convert them to Pro-E

RE: How do I read in Catia .exp files

PS to Kevin: regarding my last post; this is if you have CATIA V4 (which is where the .exp files came from)  If you have V5, then ignore my solution

to V4.

Im a pro/e user but have to extract files from autoweb on Catia.
When i run the batch ExtractModelFromSequentia i cant see any text or demensions. Can anyone help?

RE: How do I read in Catia .exp files

try asking your customer to internalize the project files before executing the CATEXP utility - V5 should read

RE: How do I read in Catia .exp files

When i open a drawing i get a mesage that reads.

No internal or external prj
No visualization of text and demensions
