Data-mining tool for .CAT* (CATIA) files.
Project description
catminer
The catminer package is designed to data-mine from CATIA (.CAT*) files into readable formats. CATIA is a CAD design application developed by Dassault Systèmes.
Getting Started
Install the Python package:
pip install catminer
To export data, navigate to the file or directory:
cd /d path
Open CATIA then run catminer:
catminer run
Note 1: CATIA may not need to be open, however, the wrong version may launch.
Note 2: Press
ctrl + c
momentarily to end the program gracefully. Alternatively, pressctrl + break
for a non-graceful exit.
For help on the export options:
catminer run -h
which yields the following:
usage: catminer run [-h] [-u int] [-i path] [-o path] [-t {xml,json}] [-f]
[--no-skips] [--active-doc]
Run catminer using these commands:
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u int, --user-settings int
run using user-defined settings from the settings.ini
file
-i path, --in-dir path
set the run directory
-o path, --out-dir path
set the output directory
-t {xml,json}, --file-type {xml,json}
choose the output file type (default: xml)
-f, --force-export overwrite previously exported files
--no-skips ignore the optimized skips - the process will take
much longer
--active-doc export the entire ActiveDocument instead of the part,
product, etc.
The supported outputs are dependent on pyvba.
Customization
The settings above can be customized to run by default or from custom setting groups. To customize these settings:
catminer edit
