Some dimensions are wrong when migrate ProE drawing and need to be CMM Report

Some dimensions are wrong when migrate ProE drawing and need to be CMM Report Description of problem:

Some of the drawing dimensions are modified beyond acceptable tolerance levels.

How to reproduce the problem:

  1. Import the 441227700 drawing into Teamcenter.

  2. Make sure the option is set to Brep instead of Featured and then migrate the data.

  3. View the drawing in NX once it is migrated and notice how the dimensions are not what they are in ProE. Please see the attached pdf file for examples.

Workaround:

The dimensions appear to be associated to the wrong geometry so they can be deleted and recreated to be correct. However, there are many problem dimensions so this is not acceptable to the customer.

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

CMM 7.5.5, TC 8.3, NX 7.5.5

I also tried in CMM 8.0.2 and CMM 8.5.1 and the results were worse because most of the dimensions became retained.

Data or platform specific:

This appears to be data specific. The customer is looking for more data that demonstrates this issue, but has not found additional data at this time. I will submit any additional data that he find with the same issues when/if I receive it.

File type:

zip file containing the data, a pdf, and also the cmmscratch directory from when I reproduced the issue.

File location: See coordinator notepad
