Files with .CATDRAWING extension contain 2D images generated based on 3D CAD models created using CATIA V5 developed by Dassault Systemes. CATIA Drawing files are associated with CATPART files that can be combined to create CATPRODUCT files.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the 3DMAP file after converting to CATDRAWING may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from 3DMAP to CATDRAWING to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting 3DMAP to CATDRAWING does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in 3DMAP format, properly converted to a CATDRAWING file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file 3DMAP the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of 3DMAP file to other than CATDRAWING. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your 3DMAP file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to CATDRAWING on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the 3DMAP file in its original format (without conversion to CATDRAWING file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
