File system error

[thiru_rajamani]

Set oFileSys = CATIA.FileSystem


In the above code, I am getting the following error.

"cad automation type not supported"

can anybody tell what is the problem and solution..

You need to add a reference to whatever that CADD system is. Go to Project->Refernces, and see if you can find the CADD program that you want to automate. If it can be automated, you'll find a checkbox there.

[thiru_rajamani]

Dim oFileSys As FileSystem

I do not know which checkbox I have to check. Please once again see the above code, I am getting error there only...

Do you have Catia 4 or 5? There are a few links about the conversion

I am having Catia V5 R10

Add a reference, and scroll down the list to see if any are in the CATIA folder, otherwise try to browse to that folder and pick up any file that it may find. If it is already there, it will show up as checked. You can see that the Adobe plugin is registered in the Adobe folder. Maybe CATIA is the same.

The alternative is that you cannot automate that action. I have only seen conversion routines, nothing about automation.

What are you trying to do, anyways?
