Is there a way in Catia to save an assembly as an IGES or STEP and have Catia create a file for each product and part inside that assembly in one step?
I know CREO has this ability, where you can change the File Structure output option to All Parts.
It would allow the shop to pull in the Step files directly into software that cannot read Catia files.
This becomes helpful when dealing with assemblies with GD&T in the product level and in the part level.
That way the shop can pull in the parts and see the detail level GD&T without having the assembly level GD&T in the model.
I have the GD&T license that allows for the creation in STEP files.
I did figure out how to output every part as an individual step file, procedures as follows:
1. Go to Tools, Options, General Section, Compatibility Section, then click on STEP Tab.
2. Export Section in Step Tab, Select 214 iso in the Application Protocol (AP)
3. Select One STEP file and External references to STEP in Assemblies Section of Export.
4. Click OK and Save the product as a STEP file and there will be STEP file for every part in the tool.
