This process will
migrate the parts geometry and parts attributes from your V4 library to
V5. Before you perform this procedure you should export project
registration and standards data, which is explained elsewhere in this
section.
The process described here is the preferred method of exporting parts.
However, if for some reason you do not want to export the V4 library, or
you do not have access to it, you can export parts directly from a V4
model. The procedure is described in Exporting
Parts from a V4 Model. |
|
1. |
Parts in
compressed form cannot be migrated. If your catalog is in compressed form
then you must re-create it in uncompressed form using standard V4
procedures. This
requires adding to your DCLS file following declarative:
CATAEC.SETUP.PRO.CATALOG_COMPRESSION=FALSE; You may also need to set the
MAXTIM variable appropriately, such as: catia.MAXTIM_CPU=150000;.
The uncompressed parts geometry will
be placed inside "timestamp" details (*.library files) in the
following directory: ...setup\PRO\APD\lib. The catalog file will
be placed in the following directory: ...setup\PRO\catlg.
|
|
2. |
In the same ...\catlg directory,
create an index type file and name it PRTMGXXX, where XXX is your catalog
number. The V4 sample catalog number is frequently 005 and that is the
number that will be used in this document. You need to create a special
file - you can name it migrateXXX - which will be used to create the index
file. You can create this input file by copying an existing file (convert1_catalog_parts,
which is in the same directory) and editing it. Enter the following in the
file:
/* */
*TYPE
create_CCAPS_index
*INPUT
/aecsite424/setup/PRO/catlg/PRTDA005
*OUTPUT
/aecsite424/setup/PRO/catlg/PRTMG005
*KEYS

See
...MigrationDirectory\Piping Systems\V4_CatalogMainFile\migrate999 for
an example. |
|
3. |
Also in the ...\catlg directory
enter at a prompt: run catutil -l RF0CPT -i migrate005 -o
migrationindex.out
This will create the file PRTMG005 in the ...\catlg
directory. Ignore error messages "Undefined Attribute Group
Name". This only indicates that pipes do not have part end
styles and parts do not have pipe end styles. |
|
4. |
Move the the PRTMG005 file to its V5 location,
in the directory: ...intel_a\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\MigrationDirectory\PipingSystems\
V4_CatalogMainFile |
|
5. |
Move all the <timestamp> files that were
created when you uncompressed your V4 catalog to their V5 location:
...intel_a\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\MigrationDirectory\PipingSystems\
V4_Catalog_Details. They are called timestamp files because
each file will have a date and time stamp for a file name as shown below:
2001248204613737.library
2001248204623132.library
2001248204625529.library
2001248204627914.library
2001248204630318.library |
|
6. |
You must migrate
the standard encode/decode tables from V4 using CATAecV4ToV5PipingTables
before you start the migration of piping parts. The migrated tables must
reside in ...MigrationDirectory\Piping
Systems\V5_Migrated_Tables\ASTL (or
another directory with your standard's name). |
|
7. |
In V5, open a command prompt window and change
directories to ...intel_a\code\command. Type in the following and hit
Enter: CATAecV4ToV5PipingCatalog.bat 005 (replace the numerals 005 with
your catalog number). This will create your V4 parts in V5, placing them
in ...intel_a\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\MigrationDirectory\PipingSystems\
V5_Generated_CATParts (unless you set the AECMIGR_DIRECTORYPATH
variable to a different location). Each part will have a unique, generic
part name.
For Unix execute the script CATAecV4ToV5PipingCatalog.sh 005
(replace 005 with your catalog number). |
|
8. |
Create a parts catalog, a suggested name being
PipingParts005.catalog, and place the parts in it. See ...MigrationDirectory\Piping\Piping
Design\ComponentCatalogs for an example. |
