Shapes:

The TopSolid v6 shapes are translated with their attributes. A shape can be a solid or a surface. They are basified when importing them in a TopSolid 7 part document. It means that they lost all their modeling history, but all important attributes and properties are translated.

Translated attributes are:

• The color

• The transparency

• The layer

• For the material: The TopSolid v6 standard material is linked with the corresponding material of the TopSolid mechanical library.

Translated properties are:

• The part number

• The description

• The author

• The creation date

• The manufacturer

• The "no cut" property is translated as a point unsectionability.

Drillings and threadings

The drillings and threadings information are translated from the TopSolid v6 shapes to the TopSolid 7 faces.

Drilling information:

• Drilling type (hole, tapping, counter sinking, spot facing, ...)

• Depth type (blind, through, through all)

• Diameter value

• Bottom type and angle (if blind)

• Conicity

• Nominal diameter

• Pitch (tapping)

• Thread start number

• Left hand or not

• Nominal, minimal and maximal tolerances (clearance hole)

• Angle (counter sinking)

Threadings information:

• Threading type

• Standard value

• Diameter

• Minimum diameter

• Pitch

• Thread start number

• Left hand or not

• Gauge length

• Conicity

Sketches:

The TopSolid v6 sketches are translated to TopSolid 7 with certain dimensions and constraints. These dimensions and constraints must be defined into the sketch itself and not according to other external entities of the sketch.(For example, the parallelism constraint between a line of the sketch and an edge of the shape is not translated). All compatible dimensions and constraints are converted with their attributes and position.

Curves:

The curves displayed in the Curves tree of TopSolid v6 are translated as a TopSolid 7 sketch. An analysis is done to check if the curve is planar or spatial. It is converted in the corresponding TopSolid 7 sketch. Each created sketch element is fixed.
