is there a "loadfile" API in CATIA?

[josephv]

Hello,

In SolidWorks there is an API call called "loadfile", it allows you to directly import an IGES file as a body into an existing part.

Is there something similar in the CATIA API (i.e. an API to directly "load" and iges file as a body into an existing part)?

I know that I can open an IGES file in a new part and then copy and paste the body into an existing CATIA part, but it would be more effective to just import it directly into the existing part.

Thanking you in advance,

Joseph

Hi Joseph, with a macro you can do what you want, you can make a scrip to open, copy and paste your iges file into your CATIA file, but an IGS file in CATIA is not a body.

Thank you kaesar.

We went with a script to open, copy and paste.


Best regards,

Joseph
