MULTICAX UNIGRAPHICS UD (UDL)

The MultiCAX Unigraphics (UD) Plug-in allows you to import:

Unigraphics native data (*.prt) (part and assembly models). This import converts Unigraphics part geometry into the CATIA
Graphical Representation (CGR) or CAT Part formats, which renders it readable by V5. The MultiCAX (UD) Plug-in imports
Unigraphics assembly files into a V5 product structure document. You can perform this import interactively or from the
command line.
Parasolid

The assembly import converts the Unigraphics assembly hierarchy into product structure, along with the proper positions. No
attributes of the assembly other than hierarchy, positions, and colors of the geometry are addressed in assembly import.

Each format has its own advantages and limitations:

CGR (Visu mode). CATIA Graphical Representation is the visualization format of CATIA V5. With this very light format, you can
do approximate measurement and have access to all the basic DMU functionalities.
CGR with canonical information which enable exact measurement and exact snapping (Visu Snap mode)
CAT Part (CAT Part mode). It is a standard V5 CAT Part, therefore you can use it as any other CAT Part.
As the associative mode is specific to Multi-CAD data, it is advised to use publications before putting a link onto the Part.
Otherwise, your link would be broken as soon as the CAT Part is re-generated after the original CAD Part modification.
