CGR's Data 1

[sleske]

Is there a way to extract data from a CGR file? Received a CGR file and need surf data from it is there a way to get this data from it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have gotten CGR parts that I have had to ues in top down design in the past. How I delt with them. not neccesarily the best way, was to use the DMU optimizer package and convert the CGR's into a .model (V4) file. At that point you may have what you need. The .model will get you surfaces, axis, points, etc but will not give you a feature history. If you do need a solid geometry, for a weight calc perhaps, you can use the envelope command to make a solid out of the surfaces. Note that you may have to "fix" some surfaces and join others together. The envelope command requires surfaces with no discontinuities.
There are probaly better ways, but I know that way works.

Thanks jrhagen,
All we need is the surf. data so that should be great for us.
Appreciate the help.
