'Cannot locate source CAD file for part' error when using CMMSolo to migrate an I-deas package file.
File Review and Migration Steps
- Review the cmm.log file where the error appears. The error should look something like this:
Cannot locate source CAD file for part: part1.^
The issue is the "^" symbol. This is a special character that should not be in the filename.
- Open the package file and find the part listed in the error. It will appear like the following:
part1.^ prt
Remove the "^" from the package file so it now shows only part1.prt.
Save the package file.
Select the newly saved package file in CMMSolo and migrate the data.
