About Reopening non-Creo Models After Their Update in Source CAD Systems
You can modify the non-Creo models and assembly components in their source CAD systems such as CATIA, SolidWorks, and NX and reopen the modified non-Creo models in Creo.
When you retrieve these non-Creo models after their update in their source CAD systems, the Out of Date column in the appropriate workspace table in Windchill indicates that the models are out-of-date.
