Save command and Check Mate

[SvenBom]

I would like to have Save command disabled, until the check-mate has been run. So, only after I run check-mate analysis, save command becomes available.
Is this possible to do already just with some Customer Defaults settings?
Or do I need some journal program for this?

Thank for any answer or idea.

Hi Sven

That would be a bad idea.... When working in NX I would want to save my work on a regular interval.... In progress I know that my design isn't according the checks defined in Checkmate.
It would be very time consuming to have to run checkmate every 15 minutes...

Oh, yes. You are right. Totaly forgot, that during design process, we save the current work all the time.
So, it would be better, if I try to control this with Teamcenter and workflow. Maybe I could set this so, that the CAD object can not be sent to the workflow, if check-mate was not run.

Thanks again.

Hi.

That would be better... We are currently implementing checkmate as well...with the intention to have checkmate set an attribute preventing it from going to any workflows in TC if it doesn't pass all checks.

I wouldn't do that right away though...your engineers need to get used to working with checkmate and that it will be deciding if their design is according the rules.
So at first checkmate should only give warnings and not set strict rules right away. In those warnings you can tell the engineers "be aware that in a few weeks this error won't pass the approval anymore".
