CMM Pro/E AssemblyConstraintsSetToArrangementSpecific

CMM Pro/E AssemblyConstraintsSetToArrangementSpecific SYMPTOM/PROBLEM

Environment setup:

Teamcenter 9.1.2.2 (64bit)

NX 8.5.2.3 MP1

Pro/E Wildfire 5 m130

CMM 8.5.2.186

Question:           Why are all Assembly Constraints in CMM 8.5.1 arrangement specific? 

In CMM 8.5.1 all assembly constraints are migrated as arrangement specific constraints. This is the case even when only one arrangement is available in the assembly. 

When we create a new assembly with OOTB NX 8.5 installation the default for the constraints is NOT assembly specific.

It seems that CMM does use a different default setting as NX. Is this done on purpose? If yes, why?

Can this default setting be influenced?

The following picture shows a migrated assembly with all assembly constraints set to Arrangement Specific.

 

Picture 1: Assembly with constraints in arrangement specific

 

Picture 2: Constraints Arrangement Specific - ticked on

 

Picture 3: Constraints Arrangement Specific - ticked off

 

Picture 4: The assembly does not have multiple arrangements

EXPECTATIONS:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since there are no multiple arrangements available and NX uses another default we do expect that CMM used the same defaults as NX. This should be changed in a future release of CMM.

HOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBELM:

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

o Migrate provided assembly with CMM (within Teamcenter or Solo) using default cmmOptions (either BREP / Feature Mode)

o Open migrated assembly in NX and look at the available constraints. They will all be arrangement specific.

SUPPORTING DATA: IR1963200.zip

o	Worddoc with description and screenshots

o	ProE data ? proeFiles

o	CMM Scratch Folders with logfiles from migration

WORKAROUND: 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

None, there is no settings that can be changed to influence this behavior in CMM.

PLATFORM:
