~~NOTOC~~ > User manual #@IC_HTML@# > Export drawing from the CAD system > Dassault Systèmes ====== CATIA V5 R19 ====== ---- This manual describes how to export drawing files in DWG, DXF and IGES formats (→[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Drawing data format|Drawing data format]]) from the //CATIA V5 R19// CAD system. The recommended settings ensure that the drawing file can be read by #@IC_HTML@# in the best possible way. These instructions can also be applied analogously to the following and possibly further program versions: * CATIA V5 R18 \\ //**__Content__**//  • [[en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:catia_v5_r19#DWG export]]\\  • [[en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:catia_v5_r19#DXF export]]\\  • [[en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:catia_v5_r19#IGES export]] \\ ==== DWG export ==== |< 100% 5% 20% 75%>| ^ Step ^^ Action/Result ^ ^ 1 ^ Customize compatibility settings | Open the //Options// menu (Menu bar> **Tools** > **Options**).\\ \\ Open the **Compatibility** entry via the directory tree of the //Options// menu (in the **General** subdirectory).\\ \\ Bring the **DXF** tab into the foreground, select the following settings and confirm with **OK**.\\ \\ **Note** Contrary to the setting in the screenshot, the setting "Export blocks: One level" is preferred.\\ {{ :en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:cadexp_catia_v5_r19_01.png?nolink&600 |}} | ^ 2 ^ Export drawing | In the menu bar, click on **File** > **Save as**.\\ \\ The file manager opens.\\ \\ Select **dwg** as the file type and complete the saving process as usual. | \\ ==== DXF export ==== |< 100% 5% 20% 75%>| ^ Step ^^ Action/Result ^ ^ 1 ^ Customize compatibility settings | Open the //Options// menu (Menu bar> **Tools** > **Options**).\\ \\ Open the **Compatibility** entry via the directory tree of the //Options// menu (in the **General** subdirectory).\\ \\ Bring the **DXF** tab into the foreground, select the following settings and confirm with **OK**.\\ \\ **Note** Contrary to the setting in the screenshot, the setting "Export blocks: One level" is preferred.\\ {{ :en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:cadexp_catia_v5_r19_01.png?nolink&600 |}} | ^ 2 ^ Export drawing | In the menu bar, click on **File** > **Save as...**.\\ \\ The file manager opens.\\ \\ Select **dxf** as the file type and complete the saving process as usual. | \\ ==== IGES export ==== |< 100% 5% 20% 75%>| ^ Step ^^ Action/Result ^ ^ 1 ^ Customize compatibility settings | Open the //Options// menu (Menu bar > **Tools** > **Options**).\\ \\ Open the **Compatibility** entry via the directory tree of the //Options// menu (in the **General** subdirectory).\\ \\ Bring the **IGES 2D** tab into the foreground, select the following settings and confirm with **OK**.\\ {{ :en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:cadexp_catia_v5_r19_02.png?nolink&600 |}} | ^ 2 ^ Export drawing | In the menu bar, click on **File** > **Save as...**.\\ \\ The file manager opens.\\ \\ Select **ig2** as the file type and complete the saving process as usual. | ---- **Go to previous page**\\ Export drawing from the CAD system > Autodesk > [[en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:inventor_2019|Inventor (from version 2019)]] **Go to next page**\\ Export drawing from the CAD system > Dassault Systèmes > [[en:infra-convert:user:cadexp:catia_v5_6r2018| CATIA V5 (from version R24)]]
