Version 4 Functional Dimensioning and Tolerancing Data Migration

There are a few things you need to know before you start migrating Version 4 Functional Dimensioning and Tolerancing data to Version 5:
  • Migration is performed using a Copy-Paste operation. You should paste the Version 4 annotation set at the level of the product containing the geometry.
  • Version 4 tolerancing data is migrated for parts only, not for assemblies.
  • To migrate Version 4 Functional Dimensioning and Tolerancing data to Version 5, a Version 5 Functional Tolerancing and Annotation license is required.
  • Not all Version 4 data can be migrated to Version 5, and sometimes, migrated data can be invalid.
  • If an annotation set already exists in Version 5, Version 4  data will be pasted to this existing annotation set. In this case, make sure that the parent standard is the same in Version 4  as in Version 5, otherwise the copy will not be performed.
  • If there is no existing annotation set in Version 5, a new annotation set will be created. In this case, the Version 4  standard will be used.
  • In the case of several Version 4  annotation sets within a Version 4 model, you will either need to merge FDandT data within a single Version 5 annotation set, or split the Version 4 model in several Version 4  models, containing each a single annotation set.
  • Version 4  Functional Dimensioning and Tolerancing windows are migrated as Version 5 captures.
