I have one big problem. I recive one 3D part made in
CATIA. When I open it on my PC in Creo 1.0 I see part in
3D. But the problem is when I made a drawing " I want to
see all diameters compleat sketch/drawing.But I can do
that I GET ERROR

1 Error: The saved view name FRONT does not exist in the
model PRT0011.PRT. The drawing view on page 1 could not
be created.
2 Error: The view on page 1 was not created because the
parent projection view was not created.
3 Error: The view on page 1 was not created because the
parent projection view was not created.

I don't even need to look at your imported CATIA part file to know what the problem is. The fact that the file is NOT a native Pro/E file is the cause of your problems.

You will NOT be able to obtain any of the following:
1. No view names to show
2. No way to edit existing model dimensions
3. No way to show model dimensions on a drawing
4. No way to view part/assembly parameters

You will however be able to turn your imported CATIA file into a solid using import data doctor (if it did not already import as a solid model at translation time). Once you have a solid model, you can add protrusions and cuts. You can create any new parameters you desire.

Basically, your CATIA model will come into Pro/E as a dumb solid (or surface model). The ONLY thing that will remain constant is the csys of the base model. It will import into a Pro/E assembly at the csys without a problem.
