Geometric Set

This task shows you how V4 Geometric Sets is copied As Result or AS SPEC into CATIA V5.
Open the document AllV4ElementTypes.model in CATIA V5.

  1. Copy / Paste AS RESULT the model into CATIA V5.

All these elements are stored in a Set (*SET), which is a structural entity.

  1. Copy / Paste AS RESULT the *SET into a CATPart and update your document:

All the elements stored under *SET are migrated.

  1. Apply a Check AS SPEC on the .model.

The Set and all its elements can be copied AS SPEC into CATIA V5.

  1. Copy / Paste AS SPEC the *SET  into a CATPart. And update your document:

You have access to the specifications of the Set's components (Primitives and Solid).

Detail used for Ditto In the interactive mode, with the copy / paste AS RESULT of Dittos, the elements of the linked Detail are copied AS RESULT, updated, and put into the No Show space.

In the Batch Mode, the elements of the linked Detail are copied AS RESULT.

 In the interactive mode, with the copy / paste AS SPEC of Dittos, the elements of the linked Detail are copied AS SPEC, updated, and put in the No Show space.

In the Batch Mode, you get a V5 Part or a Product.
Ditto In the interactive mode, the Dittos are represented in the Part by a link on the bodies managed by the copy AS RESULT operation of the Detail elements.

In the Batch Mode, the Dittos are represented in the Part by a link on the bodies managed by the copy AS RESULT operation of the Detail elements.

 In the interactive mode, the Dittos are represented in the Part by a link on the bodies managed by the Copy AS SPEC of the Detail elements.

In the Batch Mode, you get a V5 Part or a Product.
Detail for Macro-Primitives N/A In the interactive mode, for the copy / paste AS SPEC of a solid using Macro-Primitives, the elements of the linked Detail are copied AS SPEC, updated, and put in the No Show space.
Macro-Primitives In the interactive mode, the solid who contains the Macro-Primitive is copied AS RESULT: it means that only its BRep is copied, without specifications. In the interactive mode, the Macro-Primitives are represented within the specifications tree of the body by links with the copy AS SPEC of the Detail elements.
Layers The layer's numbers are transferred but not the filters. The layer's numbers are transferred but not the filters.
