CMM: objects not associative on migrated drawing geometry 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:

Teamcenter 10.1.6 (64bit)

TCIC 10.0.4

NX 10.0.3.5 / NX 11.0.0

CATIA V5 R21

CMM 10.0.3.1.028 / CMM 11.0.0

Issue description

The following drawing objects are generally not migrate with associativity

—	Surface finish

—	Feature control frame

—	Datum feature symbole

CATIA (Example. 10049621)

As an example for all sumitted data the screenshot below:

In  Caia the Surface finish symbol (Ra12.5) is attached with associativity to the hole (see red circle) and to the base line (see red arrow).

 

Migrated NX drawing (Example. 10049621)

The same symbol in NX does have no associativity to the hole and the base line but only an associativity to the view.

All symbols need to be associative to the drawing geometry and not only to the view.

 

All of this objects are with associativity in Catia but dump notes in NX 10 / 11

The following examples uses surface finish symbols:

—	10049621

—	500-08076

—	500-08167

—	10052908

—	10059046

On the following examples uses ‡Feature Control Frames• and ‡Datum Feature Symbols•

—	10050337

—	10051995

—	600-10024

—	600-10027

—	600-15922

—	600-15925

—	10045461

EXPECTATIONS:

All symbols need to be associative to the drawing geometry and not only to the view.
