If you want to import a CATIA assembly, save all of the assembly’s files to a single folder.
- Create a folder where you want to save all of your assembly's files.
- In CATIA, open your assembly.
- Choose File → Save Management.
- In the Save Management dialog, select the .CATProduct file that you opened, click Save As, and save the assembly to the folder you created in step 1.
- In the Save Management dialog, ensure that the .CATProduct file is still selected, click Propagate directory, and then click OK.
The assembly file (.CATProduct) and all of its parts are now saved in the same location.
- You can now import your assembly into Vertex.
Notes:
-
Best practice is to always zip your files before importing it. This reduces the amount of time it takes to import larger assemblies.
- Your design intent data should be unhidden or unsuppressed if you would like them to be available in Vertex.
- Please reference your Catia Help docs for more information on Save Management
