CAD data Navigator (CDN) tests CDN will allow to navigate and view SmarTeam data via the EDMS portal. It provides a read only view of the data that has been published from ST. PUBLISH command generates creation of SMG, 3D PDF and STEP files. SMG allows to visualise the 3D models using free 3D Via Composer Player. T.Klioutchnikova10th Catia Users Forum 22/03/2012
