Hi,
Is it possible to create a CATPart using (scanning) a PDF file?

Thanks

Give us more details. 3D or 2D? If it's 2D it's simple. Just convert PDF to image, import image to a drawing and start sketching.
 
Jenial,

Yes, I am talking about 2D PDF.
OK, I'll follow your steps, but an imagine has 2 dimension: height and length.
How about the other dimension (wide)? How should I do that?

Hi,

It depends on what kind of pdf you have. Do you have all the views, eventually with dimensions? In 3DEXPERIENCE you have this (there are also a lot of other examples). In v5 you have somehow a similar license (Sketch Tracer if I remember correctly), you can save pdf as jpg and work on them in CATIA. There are a lot of examples on YouTube.

I do not get it, but I'll take your advise to get samples on YouTube.
Thanks a lot, Fernando!
