Parametric CAD migrations

Move your CAD. Keep its history.

Rebuild your parametric history in a new CAD system. Adam verifies each step geometrically and transfers the model’s metadata with it.

How it works

An animation: three real parts take turns, the case of a Porsche 996 GT3 limited-slip differential, the carrier of a helical limited-slip differential and the base of a Raspberry Pi 5 enclosure. Each has its features read one at a time, a revolve or an extrude first, then its cuts, holes, bosses or shell, and each is rebuilt in a second CAD system and ticked as it is checked against the source, then the part’s name, assembly and units move across. Pick two of the seven systems below it to set where the model comes from and where it goes.
[ 01 / 04 ]How it works

How Adam migrates your models.

  • 01Parametric history

    Adam rebuilds your feature history step by step in the destination CAD system. Your model stays editable, with a history your team can keep working with.

  • 02Geometric verification

    Each rebuilt step is checked geometrically against the source, so verification happens throughout the migration.

  • 03Model metadata

    The information attached to your model can move with it. We’ll map the metadata you need to retain to your destination system.

[ 02 / 04 ]Plan a migration

Plan a migration your team can verify.

  1. Define what needs to survive.

    List the dimensions, sketch constraints, features, assembly relationships, and metadata that matter in the destination system. Geometry matching is one acceptance check; editability and downstream use need their own checks.

  2. Start with a representative model.

    Bring a native source file and the destination CAD system. Include a part with the features your team uses often, plus a difficult example. We can assess that pair before setting expectations for the wider library.

  3. Test the destination model.

    Compare dimensions and geometry, then change a driving parameter and rebuild. Review transferred metadata and affected assembly references. Keep a record of unsupported features or substitutions before approving the migration.

[ 03 / 04 ]Questions

Before you migrate.

Talk to us about SOLIDWORKS, Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, Siemens NX, CATIA, Inventor, or Creo. We’ll review your source and destination systems with a representative model.

Yes. Adam can transfer metadata alongside your geometry and parametric history. We’ll confirm how the fields you need map to your new CAD system.

Your current CAD system, where you want to move, and a representative part or assembly. Let us know which features and metadata matter to your team.
