Comments

• THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION
  FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR CATIA.
  PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IN
  ORDER TO OPEN A REQUIREMENT FORM.
  Incident Diagnosis
  The data is not corrupted.
  Data are very large (BSpline surface definition)
  and each face using this data needs to copy all the
  support informations in the IGES file
  (surfaces are duplicated).
  Development Request Justification
  A development could be done on this topic. An
  option could be put in place when exporting IGES
  file. But, such a development would be managed
  by an Enhancemnet Request with industrialisation
  tests.
  Answer and By-Pass
  It is possible to use the CAA
  service; "CATSurFittingToNurbsSur" service could be an option
  in IGES export process
  .
