Common Import Behavior
This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.

Partially imported. |
Views linked to bodies contained in different CATParts | New product | Partially imported. Imported and a new product reference is created if Automatically create a new product reference to keep view associativity check box is selected in > File-based Design Import > Drafting, under Import of views linked to bodies contained in different CATPart documents. If this check box is cleared, the views are not associative and no update can be performed on such views. |
CATDrawing representation |
Drawing |
Fully imported. The drawing is inserted under the product as a reusable representation if Make the drawing reusable check box is selected in > File-based Design Import > Drafting, under Drawing representation location. However, if this check box is cleared, the drawing is inserted under the product as a nonreusable representation (aggregated representation). |
