NX How to export Reference only component using Export Assembly Outside Teamcenter.

How to export Reference only component using Export Assembly Outside Teamcenter.

Solution

If you are having a drawing file with Reference only component as shown in below snap and if you want to export these reference only components along with the Drawing file then kindly follow below steps-
 


 
Method 1 - By Default in above snap only master part and non-master drawing will get exported when you add the Item ID in Export Assembly outside Teamcenter with below options.

When only Item of the master part file selected it will not export the reference part. So you have to manually add the reference e part as well while exporting. See below snap-




 
Method 2- Add the Item ID which you ant to export in Export Assembly outside Teamcenter and generate the clone log file  by switching "ON" Dry Run operation and then Execute, see below snap and the sample clone log file-


Sample Clone log file generated using 'Dry Run' -

*********************************************************


Now, save this file and edit this clone log file for Reference only parts like in above case "000039" and "000041" are reference only parts, so remove the line "&LOG Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING" and replace it with "&LOG Cloning_Action: DEFAULT_DISP Naming_Technique: DEFAULT_NAMING". So clone log will look like below, use this new clone log file for exporting the data. This will also export the Reference only parts as well.
