Hello
I have a supplier who uses TopSolid version 6 and wants to upgrade to TopSolid 7 to facilitate our exchanges with SolidWorks!
He has heard that recovering files from his old version 6 to the new version 7 can cause some problems!
Have any of you tried this?
If so, are there really problems?
Thank you in advance
Hello
I have a colleague who works on TopSolid (6 and 7).
He never told me about file recovery problems, but I'll ask him for clarification anyway.
I'll get back to you as soon as he replies.
Hello
To recover clean files in solidworks the best (in my opinion) is the parasolid (.x-t).
These 2 programs have the same modeling kernel and you can therefore retrieve geometries with the same surface splits.
In addition, the opening times are almost identical to a native sldw (no geometry conversion).
On the other hand, we unfortunately lose the construction tree.
Most of my mold makers use topsolid and this is the best way to proceed we have found...

The few colleagues who switched from V to V7 were disappointed.
Approximate recovery of the design arboescence and feeling of migrating to a software "where the paint is not dry".
colleagues did V6 -> V7 ->V6.
V7 is very unstable and recovery is difficult according to them. After I only used V6 but I am very far from thinking good of this software .... And according to my colleagues, the V7 is worse.
After all it's a matter of habit and software preference, that they maybe test the V7 with a demo license if possible before making a permanent transfer, that's what I would advise.
Thank you all, I will talk about it with my supplier.

Hello
V7 is another piece of software. Nothing to do with v6 anymore.
The recovery of v6 projects to v7 can only be done by an export.
Unless missler is made a bridge.
Which would be wise I grant you, for v6 users.
I didn't say that in development it was simple, that's clear.
Intuitive, certainly, achievable, it is a technical problem.
Another generation and soft technology.
Have a nice day

Good evening
- There is a gateway to V6 in order to recover data in bulk, it is mandatory because topsolid 7 works with a pdm
-Stability level on the seven there is nothing to say, it has been proven and very widely debugged
-V7 recovers directly from the solidworks (assembly as part), it rebuilds the assembly structures (sub-assembly etc.), recovers the configurations, retrieves the component names, design color. What is not recovered is the design tree (normal we change software) but it is possible to rebuild it via functions like freeshape.
To work with solidworks, the best solution is parasolid because it is the common core between Topsolid and Solidworks.
Regarding the migration, the old V6 addicts will feel a little unsettled in V7 because V6 has a philosophy of its own. On the other hand, Solidworks users switching to V7 will get the hang of it very very quickly
