4 What is the SolidWorks Data Migration tool The SolidWorks Data Migration tool translates SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawing files to Solid Edge. This tool uses the SolidWorks Automation layer to extract rich attributes\properties from the SW file These Attributes from SW are stored in the Siemens xml format PLMXML The PLMXML format references geometry stored in the Parasolid x_t file Page 4

5 Requirements to Use this Tool: Solid Edge Premium, Classic, or Foundation Solid Edge ST9 (Required to support Associative Drawing files) Licensed Copy of SolidWorks version 2012 or greater Both applications must be installed on the same machine (New Requirement) Highly suggested for ST9 Required in ST10 SolidWorks files to be migrated can exist on a share or on the local machine SW application must be able to resolve all links (Assemblies, and or Drawings) Migration tool supports both Ordered and Synchronous environments (Synchronous environment is used for best results).

6 Getting Started Click Windows application menu, All programs Solid Edge ST9 Data Migration This folder contains a short cut to the Help Topics, and Links to the 3 migration tools offered by SE. Page 6

7 SolidWorks Migration tool Page 1 of 3 SolidWorks host Name of the machine where SW is Installed (Goes away in ST10) SolidWorks working folder Folder where the SW files exist. (Must have Read and Write access) Solid Edge folders (Target location for the resulting Solid Edge files Template files Defaults to the delivered Solid Edge template files Configuration file Contains the options, and setting seen on this page Log file location This is the location of the log file for the Solid Edge transactions. Additional log file is also created in the SolidWorks working folder for the SW transactions Page 7

8 SolidWorks Migration tool Page 2 of 3 Add Adds the selected SolidWorks file(s) to the list of files to be migrated. Shift select, and control select to add files is supported. Add All - Selects all files in the current folder Remove - Removes the selected SolidWorks file(s) from the list of files to be migrated. Remove All Removes all files form the list to be migrated Page 8

9 SolidWorks Migration tool Page 3 of 3 Save the contents of the first page to the active configuration file. Or Create a new configuration file. Finish Selecting Finish will starts the migration process Page 9

10 Supported features page 1 of 3 Supported Features: Material definition maintains the material definition found in SolidWorks file. Conversion of the SolidWorks materials.sldmat to a Solid Edge materials.mtl file is required. (Use SWmat2SEMat.exe" in the SE program folder) Hole definitions - SolidWorks hole attribute are apply to Solid Edge hole features including thread size and pitch. This feature requires a conversion of the SolidWorks hole database (SWBrowser.mdb) to a Solid Edge hole table. (Use SEHolePipeTxtFromSW.exe found in the SE program folder) Page 10

11 Supported Features Page 2 of 3 Assembly relationships: SolidWorks Solid Edge Comments Coincident, Face Normal opposite Coincident, Face Normal Same direction Concentric Fixed Planar Align. Including offset Planar Mate, including offset Axial Align Grounded Face Based relationships only Family of Assemblies - All SolidWorks configurations that include suppressed parts are migrated to Solid Edge as FOA Member. Alternate or Flexible Assemblies - Alternate Position Assemblies will be migrated to Solid Edge as an FOA Member. Page 11

12 Supported Features Page 3 of 3 Associative drawing files - During the migration process a link is established between the SE Draft, and part or assembly file. All SW drawing view types are supported. Cutting plane lines, auxiliary view plane lines, and detail envelopes are supported. Dimensions migrated from SolidWorks are bound to Solid Edge drawing view geometry. Center marks and center lines are associative to the Solid Edge drawing views. Hatch and solid fills are migrated maintaining their associativity to the Solid Edge drawing view. View shading is maintained as part of this drawing view creation process. Multi-sheet drawings are supported through this migration process. Page 12
