Problem Description:

Surface Finish Symbols do not migrate correctly from Ideas to NX via CMM

=============================================================================

NX Versions: CMM 8.0.2 (with NX 8.0.3) and CMM 8.5.1 (with NX 8.5.1)

Managed Mode: No

Tc Versions: n/a

Containing:


Part: Support data contains an Ideas package file and the migrated NX data, and CMM log files.

AVI: n/a

Syslog: n/a

Other Files: IR1936845_Info.docx - Word document containing screen shots of before and after Ideas and NX data

Work Around: Display the Ideas drawing overlay in NX and change the Surface Finish Symbol 'Material Removal' option to 'Open', and remove the unwanted '0' entries from the attribute fields.

Steps to Duplicate:

  1. Use CMM Solo 8.0.2 (or 8.5.1) to migrate the Ideas package (IR_data.pkg), containing sample part and drawing.

  2. Open the resulting drawing part file (2032503_0001.1.prt) in NX Drafting.

(Supplied in the supporting data.)

  1. Double-click on any of the Surface Finish symbols in the view ("2-VORDERANSICHT"). Notice that in the 'Attributes' section of the dialog the 'Material Removal' option is set to 'Open, Modified', when it should be 'Open'.

(Notice also that zeros are displayed in a number of the Surface Finish symbol's attribute fields, that were blank in the Ideas drawing. This issue is the subject of a separate PR (1936453)).
