NX Components are hidden when assembly is loaded again

Summary


Details

Assembly selected from Teamcenter Structure Manager to send to NX does not load 
its components data.


When Assembly node is selected from Teamcenter Structure Manager to send to 
NX, the loaded result shows none of its components are loaded into NX. But if 
the Assembly dataset is selected from Teamcenter Home to send to NX, all its 
components are loaded in NX.


Why the different behavior in Structure Manager? 

Solution

This is due to the following Teamcenter preference: 
BOMWriterNoDescendantsInPLMXML


Description: 
Used with the bomwriter utility. Controls export of descendants (children and 
grandchildren) of selected BOM lines when Teamcenter lifecycle visualization 
or NX is launched from the Teamcenter rich client.


This preference determines whether the bomwriter utility generates PLM XML 
files which include descendants of the selected BOM lines.


Set this preference to TRUE (suppressing descendants) if the application for 
which the PLM XML file is intended supports navigating Teamcenter structures 
(such as NX). If the file is intended for other applications (such as 
Teamcenter lifecycle visualization mockup) you may want to include descendants 
as they cannot load substructures on demand.


Valid Values: 
TRUE 
 Descendants of selected BOM lines are not exported in the PLM XML file, and 
are not displayed in Teamcenter lifecycle visualization or NX. 
 
FALSE 
 Descendants of selected BOM lines are exported in the PLM XML file, and are 
displayed in Teamcenter lifecycle visualization or NX.
