Invalid Layer Category Name in CMM migrated Drawing

Invalid Layer Category Name in CMM migrated Drawing Description of Problem:

---

There are drawing layer names that can exist in I-deas Master Drafting that are not valid names in NX. The user believes that CMM should correct these errors during migration.

How to reproduce the Problem:

---

A package file of a drawing is being supplied. This issue can be reproduced with CMM Solo. Do the following:

1. Migrate the supplied package file.

2. Open the migrated drawing in NX.

3. Select "Format --> Layer Category"

4. Select the first named layer category in the list ( AICHACH X 1234)

5. Select "Create/Edit". An error message will appear that states:

Invalid characters in category name.

Please enter a new name.

The reason the name is invalid is that there is a leading space in the name. The user believes that CMM should be eliminating any invalid characters during the migration.

Workaround:

---

Rename the layer in I-deas Master Drafting before migrating the drawing or rename the layer category in NX after the migration.

Platform(s) and version(s) tested on:

---

CMM Solo 6.0.2

Data or platform specific?:

---

Data specific

File type and Data Being Supplied:

---

Windows zip file containing an I-deas package file.

Other Information:

---

None. Siemens PLM believes that the problem you reported where migration issues resulted from certain drawing layer names that are valid in NX I-deas and are not valid in NX will be resolved by code changes made to NX 6.0.5 and CMM 7.5.
