Circuit Board Design File-based Design Import

File-based Design Import (FBDI) enables content migration from V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE.

This page discusses:

V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE Data Import Table

The following table describes import correspondences between V5 file-based data and 3DEXPERIENCE content.

The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

V5 Data Type 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Import Result
Board Board Fully imported
Components Components

Partially imported

The attribute of a component instance is not migrated. Therefore, the component status is lost.

Considerations

You should take the following considerations into account:

Importing Methods in 3DEXPERIENCE

Intermediate Data Format (IDF) file contains the instances attributes information. Therefore, you can use IDF model export to import components in 3DEXPERIENCE without losing data.

To do so: In V5, create an IDF model file of the data. In 3DEXPERIENCE, import the data in the database. Open the model in 3DEXPERIENCE and then compare and update the imported model with the IDF model generated by V5.
