Migrating Version 4 Data 

This task shows how to migrate Version 4 3D dimensioning, tolerancing and annotation data to Version 5 without migrating the geometry. See Version 4 Functional Dimensioning andTolerancing Data Migration.
Launch the Product Functional Tolerancing and Annotation workbench (Start > Mechanical Design > Product Functional Tolerancing and Annotation). Select Product in the specification tree, and right-click Components > Existing Component. In the dialog box, select the V4data.model document and click Open.

Make sure that the 3D Annotation Query Switch On/Switch Off icon is activated.

  1. In the specification tree, expand the V4data and then the *MASTER nodes under Product.1.

  2. Copy the *TOLP2 annotation set which is located under the *MASTER node, by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C for example.

  3. Paste the annotation set right under Product.1, using Ctrl+V for example.

  4. Wait for the migration to complete. This may take some time, depending on the amount of data to handle.

    When the migration is over, a dialog box appears, informing you that some data could not be migrated, and that a capture was created for non-migrated data. Click OK to close it.
    Also, a new annotation set, Copy of *TOLP2, is created under the Product.1 node in the specification tree.
  • The created annotation set uses the V4 parent standard.
  • Migrated annotations are associative to V4 geometry.
 

  1. Under the Copy of *TOLP2 annotation set node, expand the Captures node and click Non migrated annotations of *TOLP2 to visualize the V4 data that could not be migrated.
