Preserving formulaic dimensions
Formulas (Relationships) made within a part, or between parts, or from other dimensions like setup or assembly features, generate crucial design automation that must be preserved. Prior to Cimatron 2026, formulas attached to catalog based parts may be erased when the source catalog is updated, because the equation is replaced by the new data.
From v2026, Cimatron attempts to record any formulas located within catalog based parts before linking to a newer catalog version. When the update is complete, the formulas are reapplied to any dimensions that still exist by matching the internal ID attached to the dimension.
