Log file (importing from CATIA^®)

When you load a CATIA file, a log file of the conversion is created:

• in the same directory of the file you opened
• with the same name of the file you opened and the ".log" extension.

The log file structure

The log file for conversion from CATIA^® lists the conversion parameters and information about the entities converted in the process.

In the log file you find:

• Information about the CATIA model creation such as date, time and CATIA release.
• The tolerance within which curves are considered identical.
• The CATIA entity inventory (type and count).
• The tolerance at which each solid is manifold.
• The number of 2D entities processed (if any).
• The number of not processed entities, if any, both visible and hidden.
• The list and count of entities in the output file.
• Warnings, if any.
