nx11 edit sketch dimension fail

[Ehaviv]

Hi

when I try to edit a sketch dimension by double click a dimension
I get a msgbox that say: fail to open data file.

Also if I delete the dimension and try to create new dimesion instead of it.
I get same msgbox.

The sketch is from older version I think nx8.5.

Help. How to resolve this.

Thank you

Make sure the part is fully open, not just partially.
Is this an assembly ?
Are you using TeamCenter ?

Hi Jerry.
This is an nxmanager assembly part
Opened fully.

Are there any interpart links in this part (interpart expressions or wave links)? Do any of the expressions reference an external spreadsheet? Was the assembly created outside of TC and later imported?

If the answer to the above questions is "no", I'd try increasingly drastic part cleanup options. If part cleanup doesn't work, I'd contact my VAR or GTAC.

Hi Cowski

My part is as follows
If you look at the assembly navigator
You see two components.
If you look at the modelling navigator
You see one sketch.
There is no links between the sketch
And the components.

There is links between the sketch expressions.

First I would try to do the "Part Cleanup" (Menu - File - Utilities - Part Cleanup) like Cowski mentioned.
If that doesn't work then try the "Renew Feature" option (Menu - Edit - Feature - Renew Feature)

Hi all the problem was in the
Drafting standard.
I usually use my pointer to the
Drafting standard.

I changed it to the company folder
And that solve the problem.

But I don't know what exactly in the
Drafting standard.

If someone know that will help me
To set again my pointer.

Thanks all.

This last post is a bit difficult to understand.
I assume that it is File- Utilities -Customer defaults- drafting -drafting-standard ( Tab) that you are speaking about ?
If, so, the drafting standard holds almost all defaults for the drafting application. With the install there are a number of fundamental setups possible to select from such as ASME, DIN, ESKD, GB, ISO , JIS etc.
The intention is that you should start off by selecting one of these, and if you / your company like , you can modify the selected standard and do a save as.

But, notice that there is an important option under :
File- Utilities -Customer defaults- drafting -drafting- Workflow ( Tab) - "Drawing Settings origination : Drawing standard OR Drawing template.
If set to Drawing Template it is the settings in the templates that are your defaults
If set to Drawing Standard it is the Customer defaults-settings that are your defaults, these will override the settings in the templates.

Hi Tomas and thank you.

I agree with you that is difficult.
What I think to do is copy company
Drafting standard to my location
and every free time change those
Settings that I don't like.

Thanks

Hi,

Company Drafting standards are there for a reason (to keep a uniform drawing standard throughout the company).
I can imagine that what you are trying to do will not be allowed, and if the Application engineer made the environment setup correctly, it should not even be possible.
