Convert CATIA part data to ISO-10303 STEP product data.

We have found 9 software records in our database eligible for .catpart to .stp file format conversion.

Your best option for exporting of .CATpart files to ISO STEP format (.stp, .step) would be to use CATIA PLM/CAD/CAM/CAE software suite that was actually used to make these files in first place.

If you do not have access to CATIA, your best option for catpart to stp conversion is to look for some 3rd party alternative with CATIA support. There exist also the option of using a dedicated 3D model / CAD conversion software that should be capable of this conversion.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned catpart to stp. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

CATPART

Files with catpart extension can be found as CAD part drawings created using CATIA software from Dassault Systemes.

STP

Files with stp file extension can be typically found as CAD format in the STEP, a ISO standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of industrial product data.

Back to conversion search

Import CATIA, Solidworks, Pro-E/Creo, NX, JT, Alias, STEP, Iges, Rhino, SAT, Parasolid Binary files.

Files from other CAD systems can be imported for use in Inventor. The file type determines the available options.

Note: Newer versions of AnyCAD formats are supported. You must have the latest updates installed for your version of Inventor. Updates can be downloaded via the Autodesk desktop app or from https://manage.autodesk.com.

Import as an AnyCAD Reference Model: (Alias, CATIA, Solidworks, NX, STEP, and Pro-E/Creo files) (not available in Inventor LT)

If the design is changing, take control and improve performance by importing the design as a Reference Model. The Reference model option maintains a link to the selected file which enables you to monitor and update Inventor as the model changes. If changes are made to the file in its respective product after import, the Inventor file reflects the changes and downstream references update as well.

Envision an engineering environment in which a standard keyboard design was created as a surface model by an industrial designer using a different CAD program, such as Solidworks. The Solidworks geometry is translated (imported) into Autodesk Inventor as a Reference Model into an assembly file. Importing the file as Reference Model establishes direct associativity between the Solidworks file and the Inventor file. Additional design enhancements are made to the original Inventor geometry using Autodesk Inventor modeling commands: A new part is placed into the assembly and constrained to the imported geometry.

Meanwhile, the industrial designer continues to modify the Solidworks design into a more organic, ergonomic shape. The Update icon on the Quick Access toolbar indicates that the original imported file was edited since it was initially imported into Inventor. Now the Autodesk Inventor part file is no longer in sync. Clicking the Update icon loads the revised imported file and incorporates the changes.

Note: When you import geometry as an AnyCAD reference model no additional files are created on disk.

Important: Import a STEP file as a Reference Model when you expect only minimal updates to the STEP file. Unlike other the CAD file formats supported by the Reference Model, an update to a STEP file is a new translation. Updating the referenced STEP file can create unresolved geometry and may prevent changes made in the Inventor file from updating properly.

General note about STEP When exporting a file as a STEP file from its native product, for best results, use the same protocol, options, filename, etc.

Depending on whether you import into a part or assembly file determines what type of modeling edits you can make:

Import into a Part file
Supported: The imported geometry can be edited and parameter features can be added. All 'Copy to' workflows.	Not supported: Solid Edit is disabled. Repair Environment is disabled.

Import into an Assembly file
Supported: Add additional parts or make changes to original Inventor geometry: For example, create constraints to the imported geometry. Reposition and make other cosmetic type changes to the imported geometry. Add top level assembly features. Design View workflows. Management of BOM Structure.	Not supported: You cannot modify the imported geometry. You cannot create a BOM or parts list from items excluded from Import. You cannot modify the imported geometry or change the structure of the imported components. You cannot mirror the imported components.

When you import a file, Inventor automatically detects whether the imported file is a part or assembly and creates a new document accordingly. You can then preview and select imported items. To import a 3rd party assembly file as a part, you must first create or have a part file open, and then import the 3rd party assembly file into the part file.

Some file types do not support the AnyCAD Reference model. Choose the workflow that works best for your design.

Note: Imported AutoCAD DWG files automatically maintain associativity to the corresponding DWG file in AutoCAD. When the original DWG file is updated in AutoCAD, the corresponding Inventor files will be updated accordingly, either for geometry change or position change.

For a complete list of direct translators and supported file versions, see Translator Support.

Importing as an AnyCAD Convert Model (CATIA, Solidworks, Pro-E/Creo, NX, JT, Alias, Rhino, IGES, Parasolid, STEP, and SAT files)

The Convert Model option creates new Inventor files which are not linked to the original. Use this option if you plan modify the model for a new design.

The Convert Model operation does not maintain associativity with the original file. As a result, changes to the original file after the import operation do not affect the imported part or assembly. Likewise, changes to the imported part or assembly do not affect the original file.

When assemblies are imported, Inventor attempts to preserve the assembly and subassembly structure of the original file.

The import process creates base features in Inventor representative of the geometry and topology in the source file. You can use Inventor commands to adjust the base features and add new features to the Inventor feature tree. You cannot modify the original definition of the base features.

Selective Import into Part and Assembly files (CATIA, Solidworks, Pro-E/Creo, NX, Alias, STEP, IGES, and Rhino only)

If you do not need to import an entire model, you can specify which bodies (into a part file) or which parts (into an assembly file) to include. Import only the components you need to improve performance.

Importing DWG Files

The following workflows are available for importing:

You can import AutoCAD or Mechanical Desktop DWG files using the DWG/DXF File Wizard. For detailed information, refer to To Import or Open AutoCAD DWG Files.
You can import AutoCAD files directly into a part or assembly file as an associative DWG underlay and create 3D Inventor models of 2D layouts. To open an AutoCAD file directly as an Associative DWG in the Parts environment, click Open in the Import dialog box, or Place Component in the Assemblies environment.

Tip: To quickly open your DWG file directly in AutoCAD, right click on the DWG file node in the model browser and select Open in AutoCAD.

Importing DXF, OBJ, STL, Revit, DWF Markup, and IDF files

Similar to the Convert Model option described above, the import operation for these file types does not maintain associativity with the original file. Additional import options are available for these file types.

For example, a translation report is generated that includes information pertinent to the import process. You can save the report to disk, in HTML format, and embed the report in your new part or assembly document.
