Hello Ahmed -

There is no CATIA add-in for Enterprise PDM. Therefore the application will NOT automatically gather references and create reference links.

First I would tell them you don't want any of those stupid Catia files!

You can add the Catia files into your vault as you do with any other file type -even make Catia data cards. If you wish, you could create your parent/child relationships with the "Paste as Reference" option. At this point you could build up a BOM complete with quantities. However, these are manual processes, but if they are customer files, perhaps there aren't too many files to deal with?

If you are getting a lot Catia files, it may be worth investing in a Catia viewer that is compatible with Enterprise. I use AutoVue. With it, when I click on a Catia file I get a nice preview in the preview tab.

But as always, Joy is right. Sadly, you are not going to get the automatic BOM generation, datacard updates, nor parent/child relationships. It is a manual world for Catia fans.

Hi Jeff.....

Previously, I have also use paste as reference for JPG file.
Your explanation is clearly details. So we have to use the same method for catia file

Yeah, its marketing strategy from Dassault....
We cant do anything.
