This task shows you how to open a CATIA Version 4 library object in CATIA Version 5 on Windows. | ||||
Make sure that an http server has been installed on the machine where the objects reside. | ||||
A CATIA Version 4 library is a means of storing objects
such as details, symbols, NC mill and lathe tools and beam sections. A
library is made up of a number of families
each of which contains objects. Keywords are attributed to
these families to enable classification and easy retrieval of the objects
contained in them. For more information about V4 libraries, see the
CATIA.Library Reference Manual Version 4.
Just like Version 4 models, Version 4 library objects cannot be edited as such. However, it is possible to convert the library objects into CATPart documents. Read-only operations are of course allowed. Accessing CATIA Version 4 library objects does not modify these objects. Only SPACE details can be read in CATIA Version 5. Other library objects such as DRAW details, symbols, sections and tools cannot be read in CATIA Version 5. A SPACE detail that points to external library objects can be read only if all the objects pointed to are SPACE details. This means, for example, that no detail containing structure pointing to a section can be read. |

Library objects residing on UNIX can of course also be accessed from UNIX. To see how, refer to Opening CATIA Version 4 Library Objects in CATIA Version 5 on UNIX. | ||||
