As CAD systems evolve so do their file formats, and eventually older files can become unreadable or otherwise incompatible with a new CAD release. Also, when working with the new CAD system older files are automatically migrated to the current release causing performance issues and possibly requiring the user to check-out/in entire assemblies in order to properly update the structure in DMS. The CIDEON CAD Release Migrator 4.5 addresses these issues by offering a secure and manageable environment for migrating your CAD data maintained in SAP DMS.

The CIDEON CAD Release Migrator enables you to update all of your CAD files to the latest release while maintaining complete data integrity. During the update process, models and drawings are analyzed and any problems are quickly identified through the use of descriptive error messages enabling you to correct the problem and re-migrate. Because the native CAD system is used during migration, data quality is completely assured. Upgrading to the new CAD release can be quickly accomplished and done in a way that does not impact your daily processes.

The CIDEON CAD Release Migrator supports Inventor (2008-2011) and SolidWorks (2008-2011).
