I am having trouble importing an IGES file from a customer who uses Catia. It has several holes and missing surfaces; more than I could fix quickly uses zipgaps, etc.(it probably would be quicker to build a whole new model in ProE than patch all those holes) I requested a STEP file, as I have had drastically better solid geometry imported from Solidworks and others using STEP in the past. But a step translater apparently isn't in the base package for Catia and this customer doesn't have it.
I read in the help about importing a .ct file or a .model file directly but have not had success. Does this require an add on modual for ProE? If so, how much does it cost? PTC's website was no help for finding it.
If anyone has any tips for translating Catia to ProE please post them. I don't need features translated, just solid geometry that I can cut away from and add to.
Thanks,
Al
