    V5 iges from ProE data will not become solid!

    The problem with IGES is that it does not support Solids, except very simple ones. Best to use the STEP translator. Be careful that the sending software has all the parts in the assembly set to the same tolerance, otherwise you may not get 100% conversion.

    How to open .exp file

    Borgunit, A .exp file is usually a CATIA "Export" file. Close CATIA and double-click on the "CatUtil" icon. Select CATIMP and then fill in the blanks. 1. IMPORT 2. MODEL 3. Path and name of file (if it's in your home directory then you only need name -- case...

    How to translate CATIA V4 to STEP format

    Marky, YES! It can be done, but you need the Proper "STEP" license. Contact the people on the other end, and find out what STEP they need - 204, 217, etc.

    dxf conversion

    Steven, Sorry - I meant the DXFCAT panel, not CATDXF.

    dxf conversion

    Steven, Many CAD packages use 3D for both the "Draw" and "Space" views. Set the CATDXF panel to SPACE and try it. Metricman

    N P, I went to the page, clicked on the block for USA/Canada and was able to get all the way to the registration page. There are very few countries listed, so you have to select the country that has a language that fits. Metricman

    30 Free Trial CATIA v5r?

    Valentin, I think IBM is using the "Key" to give them an opportunity to call you at the end of the 30 days. They called me about 2 weeks after I ordered the free CD "to see if it installed OK." There are also a lot of "hackers" that could easily defeat a timestamp...

    changing model dimensions ?? V4

    David, This is a common problem. The question is - do you need to modify the Space elements? If not, then just use it for whatever you need to do. "Merging" the model into a model set at 5000 is the usual way to "Fix' the problem. Just remember that you should only...

    opening v4 export into v5r7

    Schick, Usually, when this error message appears, it is due to the fact that somewhere along the line someone did not use "Binary" and instead they used "ASCII" Have the sending site resend the files, making sure that they use the "Binary" option. Metricman

    importing iso to Catia V5

    John, OK. It's just that I never heard them as being called ISO files. I always just called them "CATIA export files". Yes V5R7 will make many people happy with that added capability.

    how much

    PD, I really can't say. I only know that experienced CATIA designers are getting around $37.00 an hour as temps. Check Boeing and the other Aerospace sites for job info on location and salaries. Metricman

    Multiple duplicate 3d model's linked to 2d model.

    Cooggle, At my previous employer, we used the Overlay Function, so I can't help you on this. If you have CatHelp installed, you should be able to find info on deleting links. The other resource is the IBM Hotline. Incidently, I was a Catia user that was introduced to AutoCAD as a secondary...

    how much

    PD, I would say YES to the question of "can you find an entry level job in CATIA?". But I don't know where you live and CATIA seems to be sparse in certain areas of the country. That's why I suggested that you look to see where the jobs are located. If you live in Phillip, South...
