Catia Ordinate Dimension Issues

Catia Ordinate Dimension Issues CALL INFORMATION


This call needs to be transferred to GTAC US and marked as PR so that the customer data can be made available to the Milford migration lab people working with CMM Pro/E tools. 

Please close this call as PR and upload the supplied data to the PR data tool.

SYMPTOM/PROBLEM

Environment setup:

Catia V5 R21

NX 10.0.1.4

CMM 10.0.1.077

In Catia we have drawings that uses Ordinate Dimensions where several dimensions are using the same base. This kind of dimension is equally available in NX.

During migration the ordinate dimension is split into several ordinate dimensions all with its own base.

Example 1: Drawing called "10028214"

o Catia: 2 ordinate dimensions with one base each

o NX: 6 ordinate dimensions with one base each

EXPECTATIONS:


Please submit this to the migration lab for further investigations.

CMM is expected to migrate ordinate dimensions with one single base as it is done in Catia and available in NX.

HOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBELM:

Download the provided data file from GTAC (File: .zip)

o Migrate drawing with CMM using default cmmOptions (BREP mode for parts)

o Inspect the resulting NX drawing and CMM migration report

o CMM migration report shows issues with ordinate dimensions.

SUPPORTING DATA: .zip


o	Worddoc with description and screenshots

o	Catia data

o	Migrated NX data

o	CMM Scratch Folders with logfiles
