This is a copy of a request over in the V5 Programming forum ... I sure could use some help on this!
I'm exporting the contents of a CATIA V5 CATProduct document to a VRML 2.0 file. The CATProduct document references other CATProducts. When I export to VRML, the names in the VRML file looks more like an address than an object name, e.g.,
def _0FF27978 Group {
where I might have expected something like:
def blueCAR Group {
Has anybody out there attempted to match these names up? Thanks!
More info: The name in the VRML file is not persistent. If I run V5, load a CATProduct as VRML, exit, restart V5, reload the CATProduct,
(I'm getting tired just TYPING it! :-D)
and re-save the VRML into a 2nd filename ... diff the files ... the names in the VRML file are different.
Oh ... PS - I'm using C++, CAA, to interface to V5.
Help? Thanks -
The best option that we've come up with - don't laugh, please - is to move each CATProduct in the scene to a unique location, save the VRML, read the VRML, and correlate the VRML name with the location for each CATProduct ....  |
