Problem Description:
Dimensions from migrated drawings are not associative anymore when migrated with CMM 852. Migrating the same drawing with CMM 752 has asociative dimensions.

Description from the customer:
#########
Valued colleagues,
we´ve migrated one and the same I-deas NX structure with CMM755/NX7554 and CMM852/NX8523 and compared the results.
All Dimensions in a Drawing in NX85 are not associative any more.
Some of them show up just in that specific ?dashed? style.
Others appear ?normal? (=associative) but ?Edit Associativity? can´t be used on them.
As soon as the topology to which these are associated to was modified, they immediately appear even ?dashed??
In NX75 all Dimensions appear associative and behave correct/as required and expected.
I have compared the CMM Options to be defined the same for both CMM versions and that we´ve used the same Seedparts.
I will upload the following data which can be extracted from a ZIP-Archive via FTP:
NX I-deas Packagefiledata:
...\cmm-mf6421a2
CMM755 Configdata ("SSI" Template used for migration)
...\NX75\Config

The Drawing is question is the NX Partfile "09-006-012-010-0001-2.1.prt", which is associated to Mastermodel "46-006-012-010-0001-0.1.prt".
All Dimensions in the Views of the Drawing in NX85 are non-associative (while they are associative in NX75).
Please be so kind to try to examine this and hopefully find the cause for this strange and cumbersome result we´ve achieved...
##########
The issue appears if the migration is performed in managed mode or with CMM Solo ans is independent from the NX seed part.
