File Extension | CATPART |
Full Name | CATIA Part Format |
File with a .CATPART extension contains geometric and structural data of a 3D model of a complete project of a product. As a result of connecting many CATPART files of a given product – a .CATPRODUCT may be created.
File Extension | IGES |
Full Name | Initial Graphics Exchange Specification Format |
IGES is an extension given to files used by CAD graphics design programs. IGES are files that are a data exchange format between applications. This can be information about 2D graphics and 3D models (shapes, dimensions, properties).
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "CATPART") to another (referred to as "IGES"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, CATPART file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format CATPART to format IGES becomes essential.
So, how can we perform CATPART to IGES file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format CATPART and transforming it into format IGES. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of CATPART to IGES converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of CATPART to IGES. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the CATPART file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
