V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

(OP)
I brought a V4 part that had the FTA data into V5, using Product>Insert Existing>RMB on TOLP3> and swicthing the annotations ON. Now when I try to bring this in CATDrawing, I can't seem to get annotaion with the part. The license we have is for MD2+DL1+FT1 and my supplier might be luring me into getting whats called CATIA 3D V4 Integration 2 (V4I).
I have also opened the file in part environment, but then you don't even see the annotation, (or it opens the part without retreiving FTA data)
Does anybody had any idea how to solve this without me buying a new license?

RE: V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

Are you making the view with the VIEW FROM 3D tool?

RE: V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

(OP)
Yes and also the other view creations ways too. The vendor has told me that FTA license will let me transfer the FTA data from V4 to V5. We are getting the 30 day temp license to try our option.

RE: V4->V5 Part Migration with FTA

I'm not sure about the license, but I do know the only way to 'project' the FTA annotations onto a CATDrawing is with the VIEW FROM 3D tool. You won't get them with the other tools.

I've only done this with CATParts; haven't tried it with products
