ReMark Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Can you import a .dwg or .dxf file into Catia? Which version of Catia would you be using? How about an IGES file? Sounds like you might be in need of a company that can do CAD translation. One such company is cad-design-engineering.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think you'll have to either find a company that can do the file translation for you from .dwg to whatever file type Catia uses or look on the Internet for conversion software you can purchase. What is the file type by the way? Does Catia have an Import File function? I might also suggest finding and joining a Catia users forum. Have tried looking under Help?

ReMark Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Have you actually tried opening an AutoCAD drawing in Catia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 ive only used catia a few times and never tried to import dwgs but i dont think there is any issues with it. I would first try the open command, the scroll down on the file type box and see what you have available. If there is nothing listed there that acad can save or export, try your tools or insert menus. if you cant find anything there try this, its v4 but may still work http://www.okino.com/conv/imp_catia4.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 2D can be imported in Catia in Sketcher. As for 3D: we use to save from AutoCAD as ACIS, open with Solidworks and save again, finally open in Catia. SolidWorks and Catia are good friends -prodused by the same firm. In our office a colleague of my does sometimes this kind of jobs, I could ask him details if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
