Activate Feature Import (SPECIFIC LICENCE) : Feature Import option is visible only when the "feature" specific licence is available.

FEATURES IMPORT : activates feature-based translator

• Skip dress-up features on failure : in case of failure during Dress-up Features translating (fillets, chamfers, drafts), just skip the feature instead of switching to BREP geometric mode (continues the execution as if nothing was wrong).
  Skipped features are marked as (SKIPPED) in the log file.

• Write one Solidworks part per CatiaV5 body : creates one part per CatiaV5 body (by default). This value should remain True, especially for large models.
