Support Option to Include CGR Display Data in Exported CATIA (CATPart) from Creo
You can now include CGR display data for CATPart files exported from Creo through the CATIA Export Profile.
User Interface Location: Click > . In the Creo Parametric Options dialog box, click the Data Exchange tab and select CATIA V5 from the Export Profiles. Click Setup Export Profiles.
Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.1.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In prior releases, CATPart files exported from Creo Parametric included only BREP geometry, which resulted in models not being displayed in CATIA while in Visualization mode. With the new export profile option, you can now include CGR display data in the exported CATPart files. This allows you to view the CATPart in Visualization mode when the CATIA cache is enabled.
A new model preferences option Export part as, is included in the Catia V5 Export Profile Settings dialog box, allowing you to choose the desired export option. This applies to both directly exported .CATPart files, and .CATPart files exported as components of an exported .CATProduct assembly.

This option is available only if the CATIA V5 export version is set to version 19 or higher. If a lower export version, such as 18, 17, or 16, is selected, the option is unavailable and the value is automatically set to As Is.

Model Preferences:
• As Is —This is the default behavior. BREP geometry is exported as BREP, and facet geoms as facet in a single representation. No additional CGR display data is included in the exported CATPart files.
• As Is and Tessellated —Includes a tessellated representation of all geometry, BREP and facet geoms, as embedded CGR content to the exported CATPart. The tessellation is created based on the display tessellation in Creo.
