Summary


Details

While using ug_clone or doing from NX, Export Assembly outside Teamcenter it is possible to face the following issue:


This problem can be associated to this kind of entry in the list of the parts to be exported:


One of the parts may show a local path, instead of showing the Item ID.

Solution

Searching in the database for similar solved problems, a bunch of different cases can be found. These are listed below, for completeness reasons, as possible solutions for other cases, since no one of these described the solution to this case.

The assemblies having problem in exporting from managed mode to Native Disk is due to "Name Only" enteries in them, exceptions dialog can be used to identify and exclude them by setting the naming as user number instead of Auto_translate and execute the Export assembly outside teamcenter successfully.

Some of the causes of such "Name only" enteries could be:
o Files are renamed on the OS level instead of using File - Save as.
o Components having WAVE geometry linker with the parts which are not part of assembly
o Components having interpart linker with the parts which are not part of assembly
o Components having expression link with the parts which are not part of assembly etc..

 Please verify with the Assembly owners and try to find if they recall of any such links created in the affected assemblies, they can remove such links and resave the complete assemblies and help in exporting the data using ug_clone utility. Workaround suggested:
o Open the affected assembly fully(Tick Off Partial loading or select assembly - right click and load components fully)
o File - Utilities - Part Clean up - Under Part select Work part and components
o Select all the check box except for Moderate and Serious Delete actions.
o Select Apply/ok

Going on with further analysis, what was found is that the problem was not in the UGMASTER. The Drawing contained a reference to a local-saved part. After having replaced the reference with the correct UGMASTER and having saved all the files back to Teamcenter, the export of 3D was working fine.
