How to preview a CAD document in CATIA from the PLM?
How to preview a CAD document in CATIA from the PLM? If you require to quickly review a 3D CATIA model it may be advantageous to use the 'preview in CATIA' command. This will open documents much faster compared to the standard method of opening native files in CATIA, or even opening the converted STEP
