CATIA file translator issue.

James Baseman-Blevins Jul 17, 2012 5:03 PM

Has anyone used the CATIA translator provided by SYCODE? And if so have you ever encountered an error code stating "Model size exceeds valid box[Error No: 17]"? If so what does that mean and how do you fix it if you can? i only ask because i need the model soon and i have yet to hear back from SYCODE.

This is a Spatial InterOp error and usually means that the model is too large, as in geometric extents, not file size.

      have the people sending you the file tell you the rough size and have them send you a sat file(
      ACIS (.sat) You can import or export ACIS .sat parts or assembly files up to and including version R21.
      this is the kernal of Catia
