Problem creating Family Parts in Team Center

The Family Master is ATB98680


When I try to create the members in native, it works no problem.
When I try to create them in Team Center, which I am certain they do not exist, it gives me an error.

The strange thing is last night when I first tried to create all 18 member, the first 8 had errors saying it could not find part, but then the last 18 were created. Yet when I went to File Open in NX11, it would find the files that errored out but when I tried to open one, it acted like it was trying to start a new file.

I have deleted all of the files out of Team Center and tried importing the original file again. Now none of them will create.

Finally I tried to delete everything out again and I opened up the original file in Team Center, and did a save as and made the minor changes to it, and tried to create new members. They wont create. Even though the original file I did a save as from is a Family Master that worked in the past.

The only changes I made were the following...

I changed the colors of the bodies.
In properties and found every attribute that had the old number and gave it the new number in its place.
In the spread sheet I changed the Part Numbers to the new numbers.
In the spreadsheet I changed the last 6 numbers of the TOOL_ID for each member.

Yet this still gives me the error in this image.

I am now going to open Team Center in a different computer and see if maybe there is something with my computer that needs to be cleaned up or something.

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

It looks like the items were created by Teamcenter (NX-Manager) but the datasets were not created by NX.
That is why, when you open the item in NX, it creates a new part.
Did you check if really everything is created? Perform a general search for any of those numbers with an * at the end. Just to check if there are no datasets or forms floating around somewhere....

No I didnt do that kind of a check. If anymore problems come up I will keep that in mind, but I think I found the problem. I opened it in another computer and tried to just create one part and it worked. So I will create them there. I think I need to have my computer cleaned out. I do a lot with the library and open and close a ton of parts. Something might be causing interference.

It seems I can work on a problem all day and not figure it out and after I post it here I often find the answer. This site is helpful just by association sometimes. lol
 
Clean your Teamcenter cache folders (C:\Users\#you#\Teamcenter) Delete all folders in there.
Then go to your temp folder (type %temp% in Windows explorer) and delete everything in there.

Maybe this will help.
