Drawing repair

Due to differences between CAD systems or how the parts and drawings were created, there will sometimes be dimensions or other annotation that needs to be repaired to create a fully associative drawing associated to the part model after migration. Siemens PLM Software recommends attending training in migration and drawing repair before you begin this process with production data. Finding non-associated annotation Annotation that has lost associativity will usually be displayed properly, but it might not update correctly when the model is modified. To find these broken entities, use these tools:

• Review the migration reports. Look for non-associative annotation.
• Run Check-Mate tests. Select the Drafting tests for dimensions.
• Use the Drawing Compare tool in NX. Repairing annotation To repair the associativity of dimensions, edit the dimension, and reselect the referenced objects. In many cases, it is easiest to recreate the dimension or annotation in NX, using the migrated annotation for reference. Best practices
