Users can import old data from CATIA V5 to CATIA V6 and 3DEXPERIENCE. If any of the CATProduct files from CATIA V5 has 3DCS data, the data will need to be deleted before importing into 3DEXPERIENCE. The user will then need to import a WTX file from 3DCS, so be sure to save or export a WTX file from CATIA V5 first and then import to 3DEXPERIENCE.

To Import 3DCS data into 3DEXPERIENCE:
•Select or Highlight the +.
•Click the arrow (>) to the right of Import to show more Options.
•Select CATIA file... function.
•Navigate to the folder location where the CATIA V5 product and parts are located.
Loading CATIA V5 files into 2014x:

Notes:•Activating this option will remove 3DCS data from CATIA V5 CATProduct file(s). If the 3DCS data is left in the Product files, the CATIA V5 data will fail to import into 3DEXPERIENCE. A warning from 3DEXPERIENCE will come up detailing each files with 3DCS data still available in the CATIA V5 files.
