Loads a Catia model into EdgeCAM.
Log File - An optional log file can be output. For each entity type, the log file lists the following information: the number of entities in the Catia file, the number of entities successfully loaded into EdgeCAM, and the number that failed to load into EdgeCAM. If you require a log file you must specify the location and name for the file. (The system defaults to the cat2ecm.log file in the current directory).
Process Ditto - Dittos are entities used in CATIA files to simulate assembly structure. Every ditto contains a transformation matrix and a reference to a "detail". The "detail" may contain the sub-component of the assembly. Check this box to explode (or flatten) the dittos and create every component at its actual location in space using the necessary transformations. If unchecked, only the master workspace of the input CATIA model is processed and any dittos defined in this workspace are not processed. The default setting for this option is ON.
Transfer Hidden - Check this box to load entities that are marked as "hidden" in the Catia file.
