Import Catia to solidworks

Hello
I have a list of CATIA files to export to Solidworks SLDPRT format,  I managed to export to stp and then to sldprt but this method doesn't keep the custom properties.
Do you have any idea how to do this export?
Do you know what function in Vba to read a Catia file on Solidworks?

Thank you

Hello

Which custom properties are you talking about?

For example for the colors it's mini STEP AP214.

Under CATIA, to generate a STEP, you need an ST1 license, but to go further , especially on PMIs, you need an additional SXT license.

To play a CATIA file directly under SW you need a premium version of SW and activate 3DInterconnect. (from SW 2017)

Hello
I have all these liscences and 3Dinterconnect and I know how to convert file by file but the problem is to do the mass conversion from CATIA to solidworks

Hello Felix,

Does cross manager also allow you to retrieve the creation tree from a Parasolid format to Solidworks? Or is it just an STL-type volume?
