3D Interoperability

Using CSDK R20 sp3 It seems to me that when attempting to create a R19 CATPart, I get

a R20 CATPart - is this a bug with the save_as option ?

I can create R18 CATParts successfully using the same exe, and just passing 18 to save_as.

Any ideas ?

Hello Ed,

This is not a bug in InterOp. When you save as CATIAV5R19, I noticed that the file can be loaded in latest version of CATIAV5R19 ( SP8) but can not be loaded in CATIAV5R19GA. You can in fact reproduce this behavior in CATIAV5 modeller and without using InterOp. Just create any part using CATIAV5R20 and save as CATIAV5R19 using backward compatibility utility. You will observe the saved part can not be loaded in CATIAV5R19GA. So I suppose either it's  documented behavior change or a bug in CATIAV5.
