Is it possible to open 3dxml file format with SpaceClaim or AIM ?

Thanks,

Hello GUICAD

While opening a new file, the 3dxml file format (CATIA V6) is already available in SpaceClaim list of file formats. See below snapshot.

Hi Naresh,

 

I try to open it but i get an error message.

I can send you some files if needed.

 

Thanks,

Guillaume

After consulting with development team, I have submitted a defect for this issue. Below are the defect details for your reference: 

 

Defect Title: 3dxml file won't open in SpaceClaim

Defect found in Release: R19.2

Defect ID: DE180827

As a workaround, you can export V5 file format (CATpart) or other netural files formats like stp, x_t, as available and proceed.

Hello GUICAD I have got following update from development team regarding this defect DE180827 (3dxml file won't open in SpaceClaim):

It appears that the 3dxml files were NOT exported with "Authoring".  Please note:

The CATIA V6 Reader has the following limitations: 
Only supports CATIA V6 - 3DXML with Authoring  ?  There are two types of 3DXML files which can be generated and exchanged. The ?3DXML with authoring? (which include the export of geometry and meta-data) is supported by the CATIA V6 Reader. The ?3DXML for review? is not supported by the CATIA V6 Reader.

In version 2019R2 (R19.4), a warning message will be added to help users understand why no bodies were imported: "Warning file does not contain authoring data"
