3D Tolerancing & Annotation 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 (-).

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.

Table 1. V5 Data Types and Their Import Results
V5 Data Type 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Import Result
Constructed geometry Constructed geometry

Partially imported.

Constructed geometries created before V5 R14 cannot be imported.

Note Object Attribute (NOA) from Ditto Note Object Attribute (NOA) from Ditto

Partially imported.

Imported if the document containing the ditto is accessible, otherwise isolated.

Text with attribute links Text with attribute links

(Isolated)

 Partially imported.

The attribute links are partically imported

Annotation Set in CATProduct 3D Tolerancing & Annotation in CATProduct

Partially imported.

Annotation Set under a product is migrated in a non-typed representation, representation itself created in a new product under the same product. Important: new product reference and instance names respect the 3DEXPERIENCE naming convention.

Blanked annotations 3D Tolerancing & Annotation in CATProduct Completely imported.
Features in CATProduct 3D Tolerancing & Annotation in CATProduct

Partially imported.

They are linked with product instances through imported geometries located in an External link node. This node is located under the representation containing the Annotation Set. These imported geometries are imported As result with link. An engineering connection corresponding to a list of pointed instances according to one or several FT&A features is created under each related instances and under the product, for PLM compliancy.

Considerations

Note: You can use a V5 CATPart containing 3D Tolerancing & Annotation features with 3DEXPERIENCE without any migration.

You should take the following considerations into account:

Import Exceptions or Limitations

When the Always deactivated option is selected, links are isolated, see Link Isolation,

3D Tolerancing & Annotation features contained in CATProcess type document are not imported.
