- Type of Data (drawings, wireframe, surfaces, solids, featured, ...)
- Source of the Data (has it been translated before?)
- Functional Differences Between CAD Systems
- Understanding of Data Usage Scenarios in the Target System
- Understanding of the Legacy CAD Data
- Multiple Data Representations
- Software Versions, Revisions, Hardware Platforms limitations
