Design IP Classification File-based Design Import

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

This topic describes the particularities about importing catalogs.

To import catalog files from a file base design environment, see Using FBDI in standard mode (in Interactive or Batch mode) and Running the FBDI Batch in File based Design Import user guide.

Important: In interactive mode, you can only use Mapping Table Mode to import a catalog.

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 TypeImport Result
Document.catalog Catalog Fully Imported
Chapter Chapter Fully Imported
Keyword Keyword Fully Imported
Feature Description Feature Item Fully Imported
CATIA Document Description Reference Item or Representation Item Fully Imported
Unset Description Unset Item Fully Imported
Supporting Document Supporting Document Fully Imported
Non-CATIA Document Description Non-CATIA Document Item Fully Imported
Description Description Persistent Query Fully Imported
Part Family Component Family Fully Imported

Note: Particulars;
  • Within a resolved part family, resolved items, generic parts and design tables will be imported.
  • WARNING: If a generic part has the same name as its associated design table, the import fails due to PLM naming rules.
  • If you use a component stored in a V5 catalog, the overwrite capability does not work properly, and the versioning does not create a version but a copy with identifiers. If you then modify the family, the overwrite capability and the versioning will work because based on these identifiers.

If a V5 catalog contains a link to another catalog, then the linked catalog imports, but without the link between the catalogs.

Considerations

You should take the following considerations into account:

Update Catalog

Update option is now supported for catalog:

  • Chapter create/delete
  • Keyword create/delete
  • Item create/delete
Performance Issues
  • You should import classified objects first, by packets of 200 to 300.
  • You should import catalogs last.
