How to open .exp file

[borgunit]

Hi,
AS a casual user of our Catia system, I need to know how to open a .exp file. How do you do it? We are using Catia 4.2.2 on a AIX box.
Thanks

Borgunit,

A .exp file is usually a CATIA "Export" file.

Close CATIA and double-click on the "CatUtil"
icon. Select CATIMP and then fill in the blanks.

1. IMPORT
2. MODEL
3. Path and name of file (if it's in your home directory
then you only need name -- case sensitive)
4. ALL
5. ALL
6. Not used with ALL
7. Not used with ALL
8. Select desired directory
9. These two items are the names of lookup tables.
Type in VENDPRJ and VENDFIC, or something that
is not cryptic, as they are re-usable, but only for
a specific site that sends you files. If BMW seds you files,
then name them BMWPRJ and BMWFIC. If Chrysler sends
you files, then name them CHRYPRJ and CHRYFIC. 8 character
limit.
10. Set both to NO (must be admin to use yes - not advised)
11. Set both to NO (must be admin to use yes - not advised)
12. Set to NO.
13. Set to NO - Normally. Use YES wisely.
14. Click on EXECUTE button.
15. If all goes well, then close panels, open CATIA, and open
model.

Ciao,

Skip

An other way is to include some code in the shortcut icon that opens CatiaV5.

Normal:
"D:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B07\intel_a\code\bin\CNEXT.exe" -env CATIA.V5R7.B07 -direnv "C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv"

Include:
-batch -e ExtractModelFromSequential

New:
"D:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B07\intel_a\code\bin\CNEXT.exe" -batch -e ExtractModelFromSequential -env CATIA.V5R7.B07 -direnv "C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv"


Good luck!

i have tried the -batch -e ExtractModelFromSequential in v5r8 and all it will do is say:

extractfromsequential report

sequential file to process <f:\xx\rsassy.exp>
output directory <f:\xxx\xx>
generate model <xxxx+-rs+-whl'cld+-assy+-315-79563:000-0+-30sep02'sent+-to+-ube+-9oct02.model>
creation date
last mod date

no model processed

batch aborted - returncode=8

extractfromsequential - end of report


any help would be appreciated
