What is New in CATIA V4 To SolidWorks

5/15/2007 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.08

10/3/2006 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.07

8/29/2006 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.06

Optimization of color on faces. The mostly used color will be applied to the complete body.
Ready for SolidWorks 2007

10/4/2005 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.03

7/30/2005 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.02

6/1/2005 CATIA2SolidWorks V4.6.01

Ready for SolidWorks 2006
Wireframe entities are now loaded as Sketch or wireframe entities in SolidWorks
TrackFace supports a list of faces or selections
Support for CATIA files coming from mainframe with EBCDIC Strings and non IEEE floats. Quite rare but may happen.
Filters on models, filename cane be define with the REGEX syntax. This very powerfull syntax widely used in the Unix world allow very precise filters. To activate this feature set UseRegEx=true where the patterns are defined. This will apply to both Patterns and ExcludedPatterns
Batch Translation is available to automate CATIA2SolidWorks translations. Download the batch translator and follow installation guidelines.
Malformed Files are detected carefully. Files with less than 50 extra chars at the end are automatically salvaged as if happens often due to translation issues.
New switches allow to filter in or out Skin, Solids, Volumes, Wireframe, Ditto. When Dittos are filtered out all Solids, Skins and Wireframes referenced by the ditto will not be read either.

New enhanced licensing system. We improved the system to support software locks, temporary licences and easier registration. The version requires a new unlock code. If you are under maintenance you should request it at support@radialsoft.com.
Improvement in performances.
Many improvements in the reading of geometry itself.
CATIA2SolidWorks now reads CATIA 3D Axis systems.
CATIA2SolidWorks now reads CATIA entities of type SkinD.

3/4/2002 CATIA2SolidWorks V3.5.03

Improved handling of CATIA files imported using Drag & Drop or batch mode in SolidWorks.
Improved translation of BSpline surfaces.
Improvement in the reading of geometry.
Cancellation during the translation of the CATIA file is possible.

CATIA part size limitation (~40 Mb) is now removed.
CATIA files with the ".exp" extension can be imported directly using SolidWorks' file open menu.
CATIA2SolidWorks now supports assemblies made of MockUp solids.

1/15/2001 CATIA2SolidWorks V3.0.03

New option for sharing of parts in assemblies.
New option for import of isolated surfaces.
CATIA2SolidWorks now uses the CATIA color of the defined part.
Performance improvements.
Many improvements in reading geometry.
Online help available from inside SolidWorks.
Support for multiples configurations for Options setting corresponding to your various types of CATIA parts. Various options let you decide what kind of entities are to be translated, in particular, hidden entities, isolated surfaces or MockUp Solids.The CATIA2SolidWorks options settings are improved. Multiple configurations corresponding to each CATIA part type can be defined.
CATIA2SolidWorks now reads CATIA MockUp Solids (tessellated solids).
