How to Open Catia Drawings

petestrycharske — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 02:36:43 GMT

All,

Good evening! I have been given some CATIA drawings and I want to know if anyone knows of a way to open them / convert them to DWG? I can't seem to open them in Inventor and am wondering if anyone has any other ideas? I'm not opposed to finding a "cheap" alternative, as well. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks in advance for any assistance you can pass my way! Hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Peace,
Pete

Ask the sender convert/export Catia files to STP format before sending to you.

According to this thread, apparently there are external plugins/applications that would convert those into an Inventor DWG:
