Lost associativity of Datum Feature when migrate drawing using CMM
Lost associativity of Datum Feature when migrate drawing using CMM Description of problem:
When I create drawing with Datum Feature symbols,and migrate to NX by CMM.
The symbol lost associativity. the problem appears to be independent of the creation method.
CMM report is written following meassage.
The associativity was not completely established for the annotation.
The original I-DEAS annotation was not fully associative or the associativity
could not be re-established during migration. The annotation has been marked retained.
How to reproduce the problem:
In Ideas,create part
Create Datum Feature in Datum(1-3-2)
Check in TDM and export it as pkg
import it in CMM.
execute migration using default cmm option
[CMM]-[Migrate to NX]
- In NX, open this drawing part.
then all of Datum Feature are displayed in a dashed line.
It lost associativity.
