  .
  Scenario :
  .
  1. Open STL Prototyping workbench.
  2. Import the cloud of points - cgo_ascii
  Result- Error Message : Too many points for this
  configuration
  .
  The customer is usign the license DM2+FIT+KIN,
  HD2 and the STL License as Shareable.
  .
  Using the AL2 license also produces same result.
  The cloud can be imported on the Digited Shape

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  As mentionned in the online documentation:
  Importing files, Import command in STL workbench
  is limited up to 10000 points in case of clouds of
  points, and has no limitation in case of meshes.
  STL workbench is dedicated to manage meshes
  (with up to several millions of vertices) and not
  clouds of points.Managing (large) clouds of points
  requires DSE workbench that is specially dedicated
  to this process.
