2 Symtom / Problem Description
Exploded views generated in Creo are not migrated correctly to NX.
In Creo, exploded views are generated in the master assembly in the application modeling. These are after migration in NX arrangements, we accepted that.
In Creo it is also possible to make changes to the definition of the exploded views on the drawing. After migration, these exploded views are activated with the wrong arrangement, or they are migrated to a sketch, both are not good.
In the folder "BLH_01" there is a Creo manual (130_EXPLO.docx) for exploded views.
2.1 Environment setup:
Environment Setup:
CMM Solo 1872.050
NX 1872 (Build 1500)
Creo Parametric 4.0 - M080
Windows10
2.2 Expectations
We also expect the "custom" exploded views to be properly migrated to NX.
2.3 Detail Information
Example BLH_01
Creo: 130_explo_p1.drw.5 (Folder: BLH_01\Creo)
NX: 130_explo_p1_drw.5.prt (Folder: BLH_01\NX1872)
Arrangement Name = DEFAULT EXPLODE, not custom exploded view
Example BLH
Creo: 211022.drw.1 (Folder: BLH\Ceo)
NX: 211022_drw.1.prt (Folder: BLH\NX1872)
Top view: The exploded view is a sketch after migration to NX.
Example BLH_02
Creo: 215172.drw.1 (Folder: BLH_02\Creo)
The exploded view is user defined in the drawing.
NX: 215172_drw.1.prt (Folder: BLH_02\NX1872)
Arrangement Name = DEFAULT EXPLODE, not custom exploded view
Example MKR
Creo: bsp_explosionszeichnung.drw.11 (Folder: MKR\Ceo)
Top left view: User defined exploded view in the drawing.
NX: bsp_explosionszeichnung_drw.11.prt (Folder: MKR\NX1872)
Top left view: Exploded view is a sketch after migration.
Question:
Do you need more drawings to investigate the issue?
