About 3dxml
 |
Note that when exporting a .CATDrawing file to 3dxml format, only design sheets are saved and not detail sheets. The 3dxml file contains the description of the sheets and views (their name, position, angle and scale) but no semantic information about elements in the view. So, elements are saved in a graphical format. |
