3D Templates Capture Database Design Import

Database Design Import (DBDI) enables the migration of CATIA V5 data stored in a legacy database into 3DEXPERIENCE.

This topic specifies the import correspondences between V5 data types and 3DEXPERIENCE content types, and the import result. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

This page discusses:

Common Import Behavior

This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.

V5 Data Type 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Import Result
Power copy Identical Fully imported
Note: Depends on the content of the powercopy (annotations, macros)
User feature Identical Imported
Knowledge pattern Identical Imported

Note: You must reference the ARM table instead of referencing the file based catalog

Document templateIdenticalPartially imported.
Note: Migrated. External documents specifications are lost.
Generative script - -

Note: Replaced with the KML language.

Considerations

You should take the following considerations into account:

  • Document Templates import can only be done in asynchronous mode using the Use Mapping Tables option when importing the file.
  • External Documents are not properly supported. Links to external documents are lost and the user is warned.
  • The "Auto Inputs" do not exist any longer in PLM Templates and are replaced by simple Inputs.

  • Macro with arguments: instances cannot be modified.
