Weld symbols are out of position when migrated to NX via CMM 7.0

Weld symbols are out of position when migrated to NX via CMM 7.0 Priority: 2

Problem Description:

---

Weld symbols on an I-deas drawing migrated to NX have some issues with placement and completeness.

Steps to Duplicate:

---

An I-deas package file of four parts and their associated drawings is being provided. Also, a Microsoft Word document is being supplied with some sample images in it to illustrate the issues. According to the customer, there are three issues:

1. The weld symbols on the NX drawing are significantly out of position with

   respect to where they were positioned on the NX I-deas drawing.

2. A couple of the weld symbols in NX I-deas had text - (3x) - appended to them

   and that text did not appear on the NX drawing after migration.

3. Several weld symbols appeared to have multiple leaders on the NX I-deas

   drawing that were not present in the NX drawing.

All the above issues are illustrated in the Microsoft Word document that was supplied. In my tests in NX, I came to the following conclusions about these three issues:

1. The weld symbols when using NX 7.0.1.7 for the migration were not so

   significantly out of position in the migrated NX drawing. They were slightly

   out of position probably because the weld symbol in NX I-deas presented as a

   longer symbol than it did in NX. They WERE slightly out of position, however.

2. There was still no appended text in the weld symbol when using NX 7.0.1.7 in

   the migration process. After migrating the drawing I tried to modify the

   weld symbol in NX to include some appended text and could not find a way to

   do so in the same manner that NX I-deas could do it. Is this supported? If

   so, then this seems to be a bug that still exists.

3. This is not an issue in any version of the software. Multiple leaders are

   not supported for weld symbols in either NX I-deas or NX. What appears to be

   weld symbols with multiple leaders is actually one weld symbol with a leader

   and one note with no note text. The two were positioned relative to each

   other to make it appear that the weld symbol had two leaders. The

   positioning change that is occurring with the weld symbol is throwing off

   this carefully aligned "fudge" of multiple leaders.

Workaround:

---

None known for the missing appended text issue. The other two issues require repositioning the weld symbol in NX.
