The 3D ACIS® Modeler (ACIS) is Spatial’s prominent 3D solid modeling engine. 3D InterOp is a CAD data translation framework (Interoperability)

The Pro/E component manages InterOp interaction with Pro/E formats. This component is in the form of shared libraries.
Prerequisites
The Pro/E Component has no prerequisites. For information regarding platform support, refer to Installation.
Attribute Mapping
The Pro/E component supports the following list of attributes while translating from the Pro/E file format:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Model Name | Name of solid in Pro/E files |
| Color | Color of entities in Pro/E files |
| Active state of LCS | State of local coordinate system (active/inactive) |
| Layer | Name of layer to which Pro/E face belongs |
| EntityID | Unique identifier given by Pro/E. |
Note: If a face with EntityID attribute is split, the two new faces will have the same EntityID.
Note: The name attribute is enhanced to include product information if the source Pro/E file is an assembly file (.asm). This additional information is separated from the element name information by a special character, ";" or "
Entity Mapping
Entities that are mapped between Pro/E and other supported InterOp file formats are as follows:
| Pro/E Entity | Form |
|---|---|
| Plane | plane |
| Cylinder | cylinder |
| Cone | cone |
| Torus | torus |
| Degenerated Torus | sphere |
| Tabulated Cylinder | sweep surface |
| Bspline Surface | bspline surface |
| Ruled Surface | bspline surface |
| Surface of revolution | revolved surface |
| Fillet Surface | bspline surface |
| Cylindrical Spline | bspline surface |
| NURBS Surface | NURB surface |
| LCS | local coordinate system |
Note: Pro/E files do not contain explicit definition of an edge curve. The Edge geometry is defined by surface and the corresponding 2D curve of two faces sharing the edge. The Pro/E Reader generates 3D curve geometry based on this data.
