3 Introduction to the Legacy Migration Extension 2011 PTC Forward looking information subject to change without notice 3

4 Introduction The Legacy Migration Extension (LMX) consists of 3 products that are available as a single licensed package Legacy Drawing Associator (LDA) Automatically connects parametric models to imported legacy drawings Annotation Convertor (AC) Automatically converts drawing dimensions & notes to 3D annotations Assembly Collapse Configurator (ACC) Recreates representations as Simplified-Reps and Explode States in Creo Specifically from converted Accu-Trans assemblies 2011 PTC Forward looking information subject to change without notice 4

6 The CAD System Migration Problem Legacy Drawing Associator Legacy CAD Creo A Manufacturer wants to move IP (models) and Documentation (drawings) from a legacy CAD System to Creo while maximizing intelligence and flexibility of the content minimizing migration costs and expertise required drawing STEP IGES DXF IGES? drawing Existing Technologies cause models to lose associatitivity to their drawings and are very manual in nature Feature Mapping Technology (STEP /IGES) enables the IP (model) transfer (TTI, for example) Standards-based Translation (IGES / DXF) enables the Documentation (Drawing) transfer Associativity between transferred models and drawing is missing PTC Forward Looking Information Subject to Change Without Notice 6

8 The Legacy Drawing Associator (LDA) How does the LDA close the gap? The Legacy Drawing Associator provides three levels of association Model > View > Annotation Works on any data retrievable by Creo STEP, IGES, Mapped, DXF*, others. Can be used to support migration now and for potential future migrations due to M&A activity, partnerships, etc. Market Considerations None of the other major CAD vendors have support for this level of association Even niche 3rd Party DEX companies have limited capabilities today and limited plans for commercial offerings like this. The LDA addresses the issues of Cost and Accuracy which are the major roadblocks to Legacy Migration 2011 PTC Forward Looking Information Subject to Change Without Notice 8

9 LDA Summary Current migration methods lose associativity between the model and drawing and are painstakingly manual in nature The LDA reconnects legacy drawings and models with associativity at 3 levels Benefits No more manually searching for the model to map Re-linked model & drawing retain their association when checked into PDMLink Future model changes are immediately reflected in the drawing The LDA takes care of recreating & placing views Witness line attachment to model means model changes are reflected in drawing dimensions LDA allows control of how dimensions are displayed to meet specific company requirements LDA Model View Annotations 2011 PTC Forward Looking Information Subject to Change Without Notice 9

12 Typical Process Flow - Legacy Data Migration

13 Acc-u-Trans - Feature Based Part Translation Overview of Acc-u-Trans Three Step, Feature Based, Process Centric Translation Software (Extraction, Creation, Analysis) Completely Feature Based Part Translation Between All Six Major CAD Systems (soon to release Inventor compatibility) 70% increase in productivity when compared to manually re-mastering models. Easy To Use Batch Processing Extensive Status and Summary Reports in Each Translation Step Automatic Assembly Creation Batch Processes Optimized For Assembly Structure Geometric Analysis of Translated Models with Mirror Model Comparator Software Acc-u-Trans Process Description Acc-u-Trans builds the model feature by feature right in the target CAD system. If the target CAD system needs assistance with any feature Acc-u-Trans goes through it s patented Interrupt process correcting potential issues rather than embedding them into the translated feature tree. Once the issue is resolved the system continues the creation process.

14 Advantages of LDA over Conventional Method LDA is fully automated; otherwise reduction in time over Manual method. LDA has shorter cycle time over Manual method. LDA can be used for any CAD system (Input is neutral format IGES / DXF). Easy to implement the customer standards since LDA map views, dimensions & notes to input IGES drawings. LDA is an simple tool & easy to understand by any CAD engineer (Semi skilled engineers) LDA process has very minimal Human errors compared to Manual process. LDA systematic approach eliminates loss of drawing entities. Easy to manage massive Mechanical/ electrical / electronic drawings LDA handle most languages like Chinese, Japanese etc. Time / Cost Savings Quality 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 59.5% Reduction in Time 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 72% 28% 92% 8% First Time Right Rework 10% 0% 0% Manual Process LDA Process 0% Manual Process LDA Process

Effective process for large volume of data migration. 2. Shorter cycle time, Increased productivity in terms of Time & Cost. 3. Engineers get expertise in their respective stages which leads to good quality drawing & reduction in production time. 4. Effective utilization of skilled & unskilled Pro/E, CREO engineers 5. Better Quality & reduction in Quality check time by Product View overlay process

18 The MBD Migration Problem Moving Legacy 2D Data into MBD Customers would like to begin moving to an MBD environment Moving legacy 2D Drawing annotation to 3D is tedious The user must decide the orientation of the 3D annotation (placement plane) The user must position the new annotation correctly The user could create AEs from Driving Dims but placements are still required and it is accomplished on a one-at-a-time basis A mechanism is needed to rapidly convert legacy drawing annotations to 3D (MBD) annotations The Annotation Converter (AC) is the mechanism to do just that! 2011 PTC Forward Looking Information Subject to Change Without Notice 18

19 Annotation Convertor Allow users to select 2D drawing annotations to be converted into a 3D annotation Data can be filtered and selected By type, layer One-by-one, by view, all annotations per sheet Grouping Options How annotations will be collected in the model One Annotation Feature created per View, per Annotation type, or for the entire Model Parameter Options Include name of Drawing and/or drawing view in each Annotation Element as a parameter Tolerance Analysis Move dimension from assembly to part level if all its references are contained within that part 2011 PTC Forward Looking Information Subject to Change Without Notice 19

29 Pro/ENGINEER Legacy Migration Extension (LMX) The LDA significantly reduced the time for drawing migration. Many drawings required very little cleanup and the drawing accuracy was much easier to maintain with the LDA. - a CAD Migration Service Manager The Annotation Convertor provides a convenient tool to migrate from a drawing-centric approach to product documentation to a model-centric one. Users will save substantial effort over re-creating annotation from scratch. - a Design Department Manager 2011 PTC Forward looking information subject to change without notice 29
