UGNX data imported into Catia V5 directly

A new ‘Multi-CAD’ module enables UGNX data to be imported directly into users’ current CATIA V5 sessions. Streamlining the sharing and use of non-CATIA data within design, manufacturing, design-in-context and visualisation environments, the new module replicates the ability of CATIA’s ‘insert existing component’ command to bring CATParts and CATproducts into the current CATIA V5 space and work with them. Using Theorem’s new ‘Multi-CAD’ module, CATIA V5 users can simply ‘insert’ UGNX data into the current workspace without the need to undertake an external CAD translation. The process is simply a ‘menu pick’, followed by the selection of the required part or assembly from a normal file system ‘tree’. Items inserted into CATIA V5 in this way maintain links to the original data, ensuring that any subsequent modifications to the UGNX part or assembly will be automatically updated in the CATIA V5 session.
