CMM Creo - missing centerlines in drawings

CMM Creo - missing centerlines in drawings Symptom / Problem Description:

The centerlines in the Drafting application do not migrate well to NX. Many centerlines are migrated as a sketch. Many elements on the drawing lose associativity, that's many dimensions. That's a big problem for us!

The variable "UGII_MIG_DO_CENTERLINE_MIGRATION=1" is not a solution. The feature makes new centerlines, not Creo to NX.

2.1 Environment setup:Environment Setup:

CMM Solo 1872.050

NX 1872 (Build 1500)

Creo Parametric 4.0 - M080

Windows10

2.2 Expectations

We expect all Creo centerlines to be migrated to NX as centerlines.

2.3 Detail Information

Example 1:

Creo: 106035.drw.21 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 106035_drw.21.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: View left: The view has been migrated as a sketch. View right: Circular Centerline has migrated incorrectly. A centerline is a sketch, others are not migrated to NX.

Example 2:

Creo: 103124.drw.7 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 103124_drw.7.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: View left: No Centerlines is migrated to NX. View right: The centerline is migrated to a sketch.

Example 3:

Creo: 102818.drw.6 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 102818_drw.6.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: View left: No Centerlines is migrated to NX. View right: The centerline is migrated to a sketch.

Example 4:

Creo: 32014_1000_021.drw.27 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 32014_1000_021_drw.27.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: All views have sketches with centerlines. The big problem is associative elements (dimensions) that are not associative after migration.

Example 5:

Creo: 32014_1000_140.drw.9 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 32014_1000_140_drw.9.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: View left: The centerline is migrated to a sketch (2 Views?). View right: Centerlines are migrated to NX.

Example 6:

Creo: 31014_0100_050.drw.6 (Folder: 01_Data\Creo_Data)

NX: 31014_0100_050_drw.6.prt (Folder: 01_Data\cmmScratch)

Description: All centerline are migrated to sketches.

Example 7:

Creo: kreismittellinie_nio.drw.1 (Folder: 02_Bsp_Kreismittellinie_niO\Creo)

NX: kreismittellinie_nio_drw.1.prt (Folder: 02_Bsp_Kreismittellinie_niO\NX1872)

Description: Circular Centerline is migrated to a sketch.

Example 8 (BLH):

Creo: mittellinien.drw.1 (Folder: 03_Data_BLH\Creo)

NX: mittellinien_drw.1.prt (Folder: 03_Data_BLH\NX1872)

Description: View above: Two centerlines are migrated to a sketch. View below: Two centerlines (center) are not migrated.

Example 9 (MKR):

Creo: mittellinie_nio.drw.6 (Folder: 04_Data_MKR\Creo)

NX: mittellinie_nio_drw.6.prt (Folder: 04_Data_MKR\cmmScratch)

Description: The centerlines are not migrated correctly to NX (many centerlines become sketches).

Question:

Do you need more drawings to investigate the issue?
