Summary


Details

The customer would like to upgrade from Solid Edge 2022 to 2024.  They are in a managed environment, using Solid Edge with Teamcenter version 14.3 Patch4.

They installed the necessary component (SEEC template, Dispatcher setting, Solid Edge and Solid Edge update) on the their Test environment and tested the DFT to PDF translation.  They got an error message during the translation: "No translation result file was found."

Release Versions
  • Solid Edge V224.0
Solution

This is an known issue in Solid Edge 2024 (PR#12000767)

Workaround:

1.   Set the value of the preference “SEEC_Save_Translation” to 0:pdf:IMAN_manifestation:PDF:PDF_Reference:0.     

That means effectively turning OFF this preference for PDF.

2.   Set the value of the preference “SEEC_Image_Generate_PDF_for_Draft” to “TRUE”  so that PDF will be uploaded using the legacy preference.

This workaround will allow the processing of PDF files - however, it will be with the relation "IMAN_Specification"
