Drawing will not migrate. CMM processes seem to hang.
Drawing will not migrate. CMM processes seem to hang. Description of Problem:
A drawing will not migrate and CMM seems to hang at 90% and never complete.
How to reproduce the Problem:
A package file is being supplied that contains data for several problems. The specific problem of this PR is associated with drawing 91791_1_0001/104_Mount_X_Motor_Machined_1. The migration never completes. It appears that CMM is doing nothing since the migration process reaches 90% for this drawing and never goes any further. The XPK files appear to be exported, however, the ideas.log file contains some internal errors indicating some problems with the export. But the measureable failure is that the drawing never gets imported to NX with the process getting stuck at the 90% location.
Workaround:
None known.
Platform(s) and version(s) tested on:
The customer failed using CMM 6.0. My tests in CMM 6.0.1 also failed, but with different symptoms. The user actually got error messages. I did not; I just got what appeared to be CMM hanging and never completing. An Excel document is being supplied that contains the errors that the user saw when attempting this migration.
Data or platform specific?:
Data specific.
File type and Data Being Supplied:
Windows zip file containing an I-deas package file with drawings, parts and assemblies in it. It also contains an Excel spreadsheet containing text and images from the customer attempting to document the issues.
Other Information:
The supplied Excel document has many more errors shown than actually appear in CMM 6.0.1. This document was based on migrating the data in CMM 6.0. Siemens PLM believes that the problem you reported where a particular drawing would not migrate from NX I-deas to NX via CMM will be resolved by code changes made to NX version 6.0.4.
