This method will preserve the context of theCATDrawing - irrespective of whether the CATPart is later loaded into CATIA singly or aspart of an assembly. If you later make changes to the CATPart, and you wish theCATDrawing to update and reflect the changes, you must load both the CATPart and theCATDrawing in CATIA V5 using CMI before you update the CATDrawing.Drag and drop the CATPart item on the CMI RII application or use SendToCMI RIIwith the CATPart Item.Select ToolsSend To CATIA or use the Send To CATIA icontoolbar.in the CMI RIICMI RII User Manual 37
