NX for Design
Summary
Details
Have a small assembly containing one component which is a "NO GEOMETRY"/non-geometric component added through Teamcenter (TC) structure manager, the item/item revision of the component does not contain any NX dataset.
When for instance the assembly drawing (specification) of this one component assembly is opened in NX, an Information window occur with the following message:
Important information during successful load000140/A;1-Block (specification: 000140-A-dwg1) The load was successful. However, there are some points you should note regarding potential problems encountered during this process. Please read the following list carefully:
File Open
The NX customer default UGMGR_SeedPartName specifies a title which does not exist in Teamcenter. Because of this, all the seed parts will be set to the default one.
----------------------------------------------------------
What does this message mean?
What needs to be done to avoid this message?
The message occurs because the defined Default Seed Part is not found as expected.
To correct this you need to check your Default Seed Part definition. NX expects the seed part to be found directly in the "Unigraphics Seed Part" folder of the TC system admin user "infodba" AND the defined value in the NX customer default "Default Seed Part" field should be the item name of the item under which the seed part NX dataset is stored.
Please note: item id, item rev, item type, does not matter for the seed part definition, ONLY item name is of importance.

Solution
When an assembly containing one or more components with no NX dataset is opened in NX the session check the presence of the defined Default Seed Part, (NX customer defaults, Teamcenter Integration --> General, Parts without NX Datasets tab), even if it is a "NO GEOMETRY" component.The message occurs because the defined Default Seed Part is not found as expected.
To correct this you need to check your Default Seed Part definition. NX expects the seed part to be found directly in the "Unigraphics Seed Part" folder of the TC system admin user "infodba" AND the defined value in the NX customer default "Default Seed Part" field should be the item name of the item under which the seed part NX dataset is stored.
Please note: item id, item rev, item type, does not matter for the seed part definition, ONLY item name is of importance.
