## CATIA 5 Direct CAD Interface

To import a CATIA 5 file that functions in PC-DMIS, follow these procedures:

- If installing to a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer, make sure you have full administrator rights before proceeding.

- If you haven't already done so, install CATIA 5 on the same computer that PC-DMIS is installed on. Currently CATIA 5 release 8 and release 10 and above are supported.

- The minimum CATIA 5 license that is required to use the DCI is MD1 configuration.

- Before using the CATIA 5 DCI, you must run CATIA 5 at least once to select a license configuration. Once the license configuration is selected, you don’t need to run CATIA 5 again.
