This procedure describes how to run the
CATDMUUtility batch program to import ProE files from the command
line. The CATDMUUtility is a batch process enabling the generation of .CATProduct, .cgr and CATPart formats from ProE files. |
||
|
Typical arguments and command switches passed to the CATDMUUtility batch are as follows: | |
Converting a ProE part to a V5 cgr file |
CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility -f InputPartFile -cgr OutputCgrFile" |
|
Converting a ProE part to a V5 CATPart file | CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility -f InputPartFile -part OutputPartFile.CATPart" | |
Converting a ProE assembly to a V5 CATProduct file | CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility -f InputProductFile -product OutputCATProductFile.CATProduct" | |
OptionsInput and output options that can be used with CATDMUUtility are described below. |
||
Input Options |
||
-f | Input file with appropriate extension. A path must follow this option. For ProE parts, the file extension should be .prt.*, for ProE assemblies it should be .asm.* | |
Output Options |
||
-cgr | Output file for cgr corresponding to a part input file. | |
-part | Output file for CATPart corresponding to a part input file. | |
-product | Output file for CATProduct corresponding to the ProE assembly input file. | |
|
Other optionsThe other options available for conversion are settings which correspond to the environment. These are defined in Tools -> Options -> General -> Compatibility -> External Formats. In particular, the use of cgr or CATPart can be customized in these options. For more information, see Customizing External Format Import in the Infrastructure User's Guide. |

How to run the batch |
||
In a command prompt window, the conversion
batch is launched by entering the following command: (CATIA.V5R10.B10 is an example, the syntax remains the same but the chain of characters will vary with the release installed on your computer) On Windows
On UNIX
Where -env ... is the default environment and -direnv ... is the directory path containing this environment. Please note that this conversion will take into account the settings in Tools -> Options -> General -> Compatibility -> External Formats. |
