Exporting an Object in V5 Format

You use the Export in V5 format batch utility to generate CATIA V5 files from a selected 3DEXPERIENCE geometry object, typically parts (.CATPart) and products (.CATProduct). For more information, see "Downward Compatibility" in the File Coexistence and Migration User's Guide.

  1. From the Utilities section of the action bar, click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility and drop it on the process diagram.
  2. Double-click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility .
  3. From the 3DX Utility editor that appears, select the Execution tab.
  4. From the Select a 3DX Utility menu, select Export in V5 format.
  5. To specify the object from which the V5-format files will be exported, do either of the following:
    • Select Content, and select an object in the workflow or search for an object.
    • Select Parameter, and select a parameter representing an object.
  6. In the Convert to list, select the CATIA V5 version in which the files will be exported.
  7. Select Use Mapping Table (default) to run the batch utility in asynchronous mode.

    This lets you convert a group of related documents in different steps because mapping tables register what has already been processed in 3DEXPERIENCE. Thus, the conversion applies only to elements that need to be processed.

  8. Optional: Configure the Execution Options.
  9. Click OK to save your changes and to close the 3DX Utility editor.
