Saving a CATProduct As Text

This task explains what is written in the file when a Save As.txt is performed.

In CATIA V5, when you convert a CATProduct into .txt, with several CATParts included, the structure of the assembly is written to a txt-file. This text file is indented according to the arborescence of the CATProduct.

Open CATProduct including several CATParts.
Do a "Save As" in CATIA V5 (File > Save As) and choose the file type ".txt".

You will see that the description of the CATPart in the txt-file is "Product":

Note that if you convert a CATProduct into .txt in CATIA V5, with several CATParts included, the corresponding description of all the CATParts in the txt-file is "Product".

Saving As .txt does not distinguish CATPart and CATProduct (all are of the same type "Product"), it uses the terms "Root Product" or "Product".
