Can I export files from solidworks to catia v5, and still be able to edit the sketch and the sizes of the parte in catia
I got some manual drill parts made in solidworks, but now I need to export then to catia, and still be able to edit the sketch of them, but in catia
So if it is possible, I'd like to know how can it be done
Accepted answer
If STEP doesn't work for you, there are some other options:
1. redrawn the part in CATIA from scratch, based on a drawing or measurements from the SolidWork file. (or pay someone to redraw it for you)
2. find/buy a translator program that will convert SolidWorks data directly into CATIA data. I found this program searching the internet: https://files.solidworks.com/partners/pdfs/cat5works1.pdf
3. find a company to convert the files for you. I found this: https://cadmonster.org/ (make sure they can provide the correct release level)
I recall that SolidWorks had a direct translator from SolidWorks to CATIA. I'm not sure if they have one from CATIA to SollidWorks.

You will probably need a special app to convert the SW file into a CATIA file in order to have editable CATIA data.
Have you tried using the STEP format?
