Designing in WF2 Pro/e, need help on Absolute vs Relative accuracy

[texaspete]

Hello my fellow Automotive design Engineers. I am designing Exterior Lamps for a Headlamp and Taillamp manufacturer, they are a Tier one supplier. I an designing a new applique, the product is being design using Wildfire 2.0. I am stepping out the Pro/E data to CATIA V5 release 14. On small features example a rib that is 1.1mm wide with .5mm fillet all around, I have this .1mm flat on the top of the rib. When the data is translated into CATIA V5 release 14, CATIA tries to join or overlap the tangency of the fillets together. Do I need to change my setting from relative accuracy to .0006 or change it to absolute accuracy .001 . My unit of measurements are millimeters.
Can anyone offer some advise.
Thanks Texaspete

How does the data import into other programs? How does it import back into to Pro? Is the problem the Pro/E export or the Catia import?

Look at the import setting in Catia. There maybe some help there. There are also export settings for step files in the Config.pro.

If all else fails how bad is it if you scale it up 100x in Pro/E before export and down 100X after import in Catia?
