Detailed Report
The detail of transferred entities can be included in the report file.
You can activate the detailed report under General in the STEP Exchange section of the Preferences.
Report and Error Files
Report and error files give your information about the import or export, and help you solve problems. Always check the report and error files after a conversion: Some problems may have occurred without been visually highlighted.
At Import
Two files are generated at the end of import.
These files are created in a location referenced by the CATReport variable. Its default value is Profiles\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Dassault Systemes\CATReport on NT (user being you logon id), and $HOME/CATReport on UNIX.
Report File
Its name is name_of_file.rpt. It provides references about the quality of the transfer.
Example:
E:\Report\pm6-hc-214.rpt
Input FileName :
G:\Equipe_STEP\STEP\PDES-Prostep\Tr8\Prod\pm6-hc-214.stp

Error File
Its name is name_of_file.err. It lists the errors that occurred during the transfer.

where:
- OK = Transferred
- KO = Not Transferred
- NS = Unsupported
- OUT = Out Of Size
OUT entities are OUT of model size. Most of the time, these entities are curves and they are out of the 3DEXPERIENCE model space. These entities are not created.
- INV = Invalid
INV entities are Invalid entities, that is to say their description within the STEP file is invalid (STEP syntax rules are not respected,...). These entities are not created.
- DEG = Degenerated
DEG entities are degenerated entities. They are solids (MANIFOLD_SOLID_BREP) or Shells (OPEN_SHELL), or Curves (LINE, CIRCLE,...). Degenerated solids are incomplete solids (at least one Face misses).
At Export
Two files are generated at the end of export.
These files are created in a location referenced by the CATReport variable. Its default value is Profiles\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Dassault Systemes\CATReport on NT (user being you logon id), and $HOME/CATReport on UNIX.
