Hi Fabio,

If you add your CATIA part to CREO assembly and save assembly without changes to that part you can still open it in CATIA and have your features.

Why would you save your CATIA part if there was no changes to it??

Hi Davor

it's right i've not  needs to save the part .

i've to save the assembly in my windchill databese then checked out the catia v5 part and open it with into catia. I've not a licence of catia and i wasn't sure if the catia part has all featur again.

Thank a lot for your attention

Actually even if you make changes to part it will remain with its features in its native software. When you make changes to CATIA part CREO asks you if you want to convert part to creo part or no.

Anyway you choose he will use data from CATIA part and keep changes in separate CREO file. So you can still open your CATIA file with its features.

But if you want to save that part with changes to CATIA format if wont open it in CATIA with any features.

thanks a lot Davor , all you write in your answer is true even if i save the file in a windchill database?

Even if i don't have workgroup manager for catia?

Hi Davor , i think the answer is this:

Non-PTC Creo models can only be retrieved from the primary server

• Open is grayed out in a linked session to prevent uploading 3rd party application objects from a Creo Parametric session
• All 3rd-party objects should be uploaded via the Workgroup Manager
• Uploaded 3rd-party files may be opened in a linked session
• Local 3rd-party files may be opened in an unlinked session

so without Workgroup Manager it's not possible save a non-PTC models with his history because it's only possible use import command.

regards

So without Workgroup Manager you wont be able to update those 3rd party files you used for import if you get newer versions of them. Good to know.
