When importing native NX prt files into TC, if there are custom attributes residing within the native NX prt files, how to have those attributes display in TC (and in managed NX session)?


Solution

STEP(1) Native NX:

Let's take a look at the original starting NX data in native NX. Note down the custom attribute names to be mapped over to Teamcenter.

STEP(2) TC BMIDE:

Create a new custom item type.

Then, open that custom item revision; this is where to create custom properties using the custom attribute gathered from native NX.

Save the Data Model and deploy it.

STEP(3) Attribute Mapping File:

Edit the attribute mapping file that has been exported out of Teamcenter:


Save and import the attribute mapping file back into Teamcenter.

STEP(4) Launch Teamcenter and managed mode of NX to validate the use case:

In NX, start the command "Import Assembly Into Teamcenter".

- Set the desired item type - select that custom type defined in STEP(2)

- Set the Numbering Source and Conversion Rule

- Select the NX prt files to import

Click OK to complete the import

In TC, examine the imported data by looking at the properties within the Item Revision. Now you are able to see those attributes display with the expected values.
