  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.

    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"
