Data Translation

(OP)
Hi,
Can someone suggest me the reliable format which can be used to translate a solid CAD to Pro Engineer 2001 and to Catia V5 (with minimum data loss)

Thanks in advance

RE: Data Translation

I use STEP files.

There are some hidden config.pro options that will allow 2001 and Wildfire to export Parasolid files. I think Wildfire can also import them. Haven't tried it, yet.

I would be interested in learning more about the hidden config.pro options that you mentioned for ProE to export Parasolid data.  Would you care to elborate?
