NX "Type" column displays incorrect item Type name

Summary


Details

When "minimal load" is used to open a Multicad assembly in NX, the "Type" column will show the real item type name of a JT component instead of the display name.

Expectation: When a JT component is loaded in NX, the Type value should show the display name in Teamcenter (not the real name of item type) even if it's loaded minimally (setup in Assembly Load Options).

Only if the assembly is loaded at least "partially", the display name will appear correctly.



Solution

The issue is that the ItemRev has stale attributes (DB_PART_TYPE) owing to Import operations from one Database to another Database. This staleness is, rightly, corrected when the ItemRev is fully loaded. This is the right behavior and will not happen once the part is opened in NX fully and saved to synchronize the attributes in the part.
