'Cannot locate source CAD file for part' error when using CMMSolo to migrate an I-deas package file.

File Review and Migration Steps

  1. 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.

  1. Open the package file and find the part listed in the error. It will appear like the following:

part1.^ prt

  1. Remove the "^" from the package file so it now shows only part1.prt.

  2. Save the package file.

  3. Select the newly saved package file in CMMSolo and migrate the data.
