Copying / Pasting Details and Dittos: Force Detail to Explode

This task shows you how the Details and Dittos can be migrated into CATIA V5 without link. All the V4 workspaces are put together within the same CATPart and the Detail no longer exists (no link).
If you want everything to be migrated without CARWL, like the explode of a V4 model, you can select this option "Like V4 explode mode" in Tools > Options... > Compatibility > V4/V5 SPACE tab and click OK:
 

 
  Open V4V5ForceDetailToExplode_ODT.model. The following screenshots show the links between the model's components. The SPHERE is used by DETAIL2:

DETAIL2 is used by DETAIL4:

DETAIL4 is used by DETAIL8:

DETAIL8 is used by *MASTER:

*DIT9 and *DIT10 are in No Show:
  1. Copy/Paste (As Spec or As Result) *MASTER into a V5 CATPart. You obtain:
  2. Update the Part.

The elements of the model have been pasted with the No Show and family filter (in our example, the Dittos in No Show *DIT9 and *DIT10 have not been pasted).

All the Geometry is gathered in a single Part. The Detail no longer exists and the links between the Detail and the Dittos have disappeared as if you were doing an explode action in CATIA V4 and migrating the results in CATIA V5.

For information, with the Batch Migration, all the Geometry of the Details and Dittos is gathered in a CATProduct.
Note:
  • Be careful with the Explode and Isolated functionalities because memory size incidents may occur during the Paste operation or during the Save of the CATPart. When you have finished, do not forget to uncheck this option. To do it, just check the Usual optimized mode.
  • Use one or the other setting, but not both at the same time.
  • If you choose one of these settings, be careful because it will be also activated in the interactive mode and in the Batch mode (CATV4ToV5Migration). For information, the batch offers another way to migrate workspaces.
