Instance suppression in views causing views to be skipped in migration.
Instance suppression in views causing views to be skipped in migration. Description of problem:
Instance suppression in views of the drawing will cause the view to not migrate to NX.
How to reproduce the problem:
Import the attached package file into Teamcenter and use CMM to migrate it or use CMMSolo on the package file
Note the "incomplete view" on number of the views in the drawing migration report
View the resulting drawing in NX and note that 3 of the views are missing. All 3 of these views have instances suppressed in the view on the drawing in NX I-deas.
Workaround:
The views that are missing have the "Suppress Instances" turned on under the "View properties->HLP Options->Advance Process"
This is very cumbersome for the customer as they have about 10% of the drawings with numerous views with the instance suppression active. They would like this fixed in a 10.0.3 version of NX if possible.
Platform(s) and version(s) tested on:
CMM 10.0.2, 10.0.3 and CMM 11.0.1
Data or platform specific:
no
File type:
Files containing the package file and cmmscratch directories from both CMM10.0.2 and CMM 11.0.1
File location: See coordinator notepad
