Export to CATIA V5 (Windows only)
 
 
 

Choose File > Save As . In the option window, choose CATIA V5 from the list of file formats.

The following Alias entities are saved into CATIA V5:

Alias entity saved to CATIA V5 format as
Curve (created with either CVs or Edit Points) NURBS Curve of appropriate degree
Line Line
Arc NURBSCurve
Circular RationalNURBSCurve. Note that periodic objects will be divided into two.
Blend curves NURBSCurve of appropriate degree.
Multiknot curve NURBSCurve
Curve on surface NURBSCurve
Surface NURBSSurface.
Surface Revolve NURBSSurface. Periodic objects will be divided into two.
Multiknot Surface Surfaces divided in multiple surfaces if -d option is used.
Shell Solid. Caution: Alias closed shell becomes a CATIA Solid. If -s option is specified, the shell’s faces will become surfaces.
sphere, cone, cube, and so on. NURBSSurface. Periodic objects are divided into two.
Rational sphere, cone, and so on. NURBSSurface. Periodic objects are divided into two.
   
Shell CATIA solid body, if shell is closed, or Skin (open shell) if shell is open.
Surface with multiple disjoint trimmed regions Multiple trimmed surfaces
Closed periodic curve Periodic curves are divided into two curves.
Shader Color RGB Color RGB
Layer Layer (numbered). Layer name is ignored.
Invisible Invisible (no show)
Construction vector Line
Construction plane Plane
Symmetry Converted if -b option for layer symmetry is ON.
Space point, Curve point, Surface point, Curve-on-surface point Point
