#### Importing CAD Data

PC-DMIS Planner allows you import CAD using the following translators:

- CATIA V5 DCT (may include GD&T information)

- CATIA V4 DCT

- IGES

- Parasolid DCT

- Pro-Engineer DCT

- STEP

- STL

- Unigraphics DCT (may include GD&T information)

- VDAFS

- XYZ

- JT

Note: The following PC-DMIS Planner options must be enabled on your portlock to use them: CATIA V4 DCT, CATIA V5 DCT, UG DCT, PRO-E DCT, and Parasolid DCT.

To import CAD data:

1. Select the File | Import | <CAD File Type> menu item. The Open dialog box appears.

Open dialog box

2. Browse to and select the needed CAD file.

3. Click Open to import the file. PC-DMIS Planner imports the CAD data with any accompanying GD&T/dimension information.

After saving, the default PC-DMIS Planner .cad file name is now the same as the imported CAD file.

Note: If you re-import your part's original CAD model file, any existing GD&T Cad callouts that you've added in the Graphics Display window will not be included.
