Good lord. We just got CATIA V5 here. All I want to do is open a customer file and export it as an IGES. "Save As" is grayed out. I am wondering if it's a v4/v5 issues, but I have no clue. Any ideas? |

If the documentation was installed, I would! I left a message, so I hope he gets it on here. I figured it out. It was a v4 file that needed to be switched over to v5. I am most comfortable with UG, so this will a bit of a change. Next I need to figure out how to get rid of this Tron-looking screen. |

Go into Tools menu and click "Utility". You now should see the batch monitor. In the batch monitor Utilities tab, double click on the Batch-DXF-IGES-STEP utility and a new window will pop up. Just select the input file, output file type and output directory then hit run. It will take the .CATpart file and export it to a IGES in a background process. I'm running V5 on a Unix workstation. ETA: Depending on the file size, this may take a very long time. That's why I use the batch monitor. I start the conversion process when I leave work so it's ready in the morning. |
I did look around in there and thought that might be it, but after looking I thought it was only an import utility. I will give that a try tomorrow! Thanks! |
