About Exporting and Importing CATIA V5 POWER'BY Data

You can export CATIA V5 POWER'BY data from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to a 3D XML authoring file. You can also import as reference, a 3D XML that contains CATIA V5 POWER'BY data to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Exporting CATIA V5 POWER'BY Data

When you export CATIA V5 POWER'BY data using the Export dialog box, you must:

  • Select 3D XML with authoring (*.3dxml) from the Format list.
  • Select the With all representations completion option in the General tab.

For more information about the options in the Export dialog box, see Social and Collaborative: Product Development - Model Based: Exchange Management: Export: Export to 3D XML: Exporting Content to 3D XML Files.

When you export CATIA V5 data using the batch, you must:

  • Select With all representations from the Options for completion list.
  • Select the All Children check box.

You can perform the delegate and waive actions on the root node in the batch mode. For more information about these commands, see Social and Collaborative: Product Development - Model Based: Exchange Management: Site Information: About Site Ownership.

Important:
  • When you export a root reference, the entire structure is exported. The structure can contain references, embedded components, representations, and data connected with a dependency link (Ref, Rep, or NonPSDocument).
  • The dependencies like design table and material are automatically exported.
  • When you export a drawing, the pointed part or assembly is also exported at the same time.
  • When you export an analysis file, the existing result or computation is automatically exported.
  • When you export a process that is pointing to a part or assembly, the pointed part or assembly is also exported.
  • You can export the entire content of a catalog. If catalog A points to catalog B, then catalog B is also exported.
  • You can export only the non-filtered data of a product structure.
