IntroductionIntroduction

The purpose of this method is to:

Provide best practices for Viewing FTA information embedded in CATIA V4

model files.

Provide best practises for creating 2D generative drafting views using FTA

information embedded in CATIA V4 model files.

Describe the Rules, Limitations and any prerequisites that and required to

perform the processes Detail any relevant CATSettings where applicable.

FTA Migration Key PointsFTA Migration Key Points

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 & Tolerancing data to Version 5, a Version 5

Functional Tolerancing & Annotation license is required. Either FTA DT1 or FT1

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 FD&T 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 & Tolerancing windows are migrated as Version 5

captures

Defines conventional standard options:

Default Standard At Creation

ANNOTATIONS IN SPECIFICATION TREE

Defines the annotations in specification tree options:

Under Geometric Feature nodes

Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the geometric feature nodes in the

specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the Part Design or Generative ShapeDesign feature nodes to which they are applied.

By default, this option is not selected.

Under View/Annotation Plane nodesDefines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the view/annotation plane nodes in the

specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the view node to which they are

linked.

By default, this option is not selected.Under Annotations Set nodeDefines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the annotation set node in the

specification tree, available only if Under View/Annotation Plane nodes is selected.

By default, this option is selected.

Keep layout and dress-up of 2D extracted annotations

Select this option if you want the layout and dress-up applied to 2D extracted annotations to be

preserved when updating a view from 3D (Functional Tolerancing and Annotation workbench).

2D dress-up modifications are kept when updating design changes from 3D.

Associativity of the annotations or their leader with the 3D geometry is taken into account.

Associativity between annotations is taken into account. By default, this option is not selected.

Generate 2D geometry

Select this option if you want to generate 2D geometry (i.e. wireframe and 2D points) when generating a

view from 3D from a layout view (2D Layout for 3D Design workbench). By default, this option is selected.

Generate red cross on annotation

Select this option if you want red cross mark to be displayed for any annotation or dimension with a leader

linked to hidden geometry (i.e. 3D geometry which is not visible in a 2D view) when generating view from3D

((Functional Tolerancing and Annotation workbench). By default, this option is selected.

Viewing V4 FTA information in CATIAV5Viewing V4 FTA information in CATIAV5 -- 1 of 31 of 3

1. Create a New CATProduct. When prompted

enter the part number of the V4 model you are

about to view.Note: You cannot use the exact string. e.g if the V4 model has a

part number of WG1509-0113-101-Support you could use

WG1509-0113-101 in the product part number field but you

cannot use WG1509-0113-101-Support

2. Insert the Existing V4 FTA Model into the Product

by Right clicking on the Product Components -Existing Component Browse and select the

model

the Data could not be migrated.

Any Data that is not migrated is added to a dedicated

capture in the specification tree. (See Appendix)

of View from 3D is used. Select the icon

8. Swap back to the 3D window or tile horizontally the screen. Select from the

specification tree the first View in the Views node

9. A Preview of the view will appear, drag the green frame to position the viewthen select the white sheet to place it.

How to View FTA information that was not Migrated When the *TOLx is pasted onto the top level product a message may appear informing

the user of any FTA that could not be migrated.

This NON migrated data is stored in a dedicated CAPTURE in the specification tree

called Non Migrated data of *TOLx
