Opening a CATIA file on Solidworks via 3DExperience

Hello

I opened a ticket on visiativ but I'm asking the community just in case.

I have a customer who is on 3DExprience and uses CATIA but I am on 3DExperience and I use Solidworks 2021 SP4.1.
Is it possible to open a CATIA file on Solidworks from 3DExprience?

Today when I try to do it I get the following message that appears: "the CGR file failed to read"
Note that Solidworks locally opens CGR files.

Kind regards

Hello Philippe.bensa_1,

I have little experience with Catia, but I remember to open the dashboard of the C6 "Citroën", it took 8 hours.
It was a native Catia V4 file on SW 2006.
There you go, there you go, and good luck.

Thank you for your answer.

I am updating Solidworks because the connectors between Solidworks and 3DX only work up to the two years earlier versions of the latest version of Solidworks, i.e. from the 2022 version.
I hope it will work.

But yes I feel that it will take a long time to open files.
