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 FT1Not 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 capturesSummary of Migrated Data6The table below summarizes the data which is migrated from Version 4 to Version 5Version 4 DataVersion 5 Migration ResultAnnotation planeView/Annotation planeTolerancing feature (TTRS), except re-specified features Group of surfaces, User surface (TTRS) Re-specified Tolerancing feature (TTRS) Redefined User surface (TTRS) Surface restriction Surface restriction AnnotationAnnotationGeometrical tolerance Geometrical tolerance Default toleranceDefault tolerance Dimensions, except chamfer and thread diameter Dimensions TolNOA NOA ViewCaptureSummary of Non Migrated DataThe list below summarizes the data which is not migrated fromVersion 4 to Version 5Basic dimensions based on curvilinear curvesDimensions based on re-specified Tolerancing feature (TTRS)Flag note URLsNote Object AttributesThread dimensionsChamfer dimensions7(3D Annotation Infrastructure)8TOLERANCING STANDARDDefines conventional standard options:Default Standard At Creation 1.ASME American Society for Mechanical Engineers 2.ASME3D American Society for Mechanical Engineers 3.ANSI American National Standards Institute 4.JIS Japanese Industrial Standard 5.ISO International Organization for StandardizationBy default, the ISO standard is selected.(3D Annotation Infrastructure)9ANNOTATIONS IN SPECIFICATION TREEDefines the annotations in specification tree options:Under Geometric Feature nodesDefines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the geometric feature nodes in thespecification 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.(3D Annotation Infrastructure)ANNOTATIONS IN SPECIFICATION TREE10CATSettings - 4 of 4(Drafting – View – View From 3D)VIEW FROM 3DKeep 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 from 3D ((Functional Tolerancing and Annotation workbench).• By default, this option is selected.11Viewing V4 FTA information in CATIAV5 - 1 of 3This Scenario outlines the process to view FTA data with an FTA license 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 model12Viewing V4 FTA information in CATIAV5 - 2 of 33.Select the “Product Functional Tolerancing & Annotation” Workbench from the Start menu.

Repeat the Steps from Slides 10, 11 and 12 so that the FTA information is visible. 2. Expand the Specification Graph so that the “ *TOLPx ” branch is visible.15Generating drafting “Views from 3D” on a 2D drawing Sheet - 1 of 33. 4.Right click the “ *TOLPx ” branch as select “COPY” Right click the “Product” and select “PASTE”16Generating drafting “Views from 3D” on a 2D drawing Sheet - 1 of 35.You may encounter a “Partial Migration” Panel if some of the Data could not be migrated. Any Data that is not migrated is added to a dedicated capture in the specification tree.

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 view then select the white sheet to place it. 10. Repeat steps 7 thro 9 for the other Views until you have created them allNOTE: Remember these views may not be orthogonal as you can see below7.19Appendix – 1 of 2How to View FTA information that was not MigratedWhen 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” To View this Data Right Click on the Non Migrated Capture node and select “Display Capture”• In the example below it is the Chamfer Dimension that is not Migrated20Appendix – 2 of 2How to View FTA information that was not MigratedWhen the drawing is created the FTA that was not migrated will not appear in the views generate by the “View From 3D” function. The missing annotations will need to be added manually using standard V5 drafting techniques21。
