Export/Import in Enovia VPM
(OP)
Hello,
We are using Enovia VPM with structure exposed storing mechanism and now there is a need to give several assemblies to extrenal supplier which hasn't VPM (only standalone CatiaV5). Supplier should create drawings for these assemblies and then we have to import all data back somehow,keeping in mind that drawing links should stay alive. Is there any way to manage it?Using Reconciliator tool in CatiaV5 is not an option in my case.I can open an assembly,save it localy as CATProduct and send it to supplier,but how I will import back drawing which he will create for this CATProduct?!

RE: Export/Import in Enovia VPM
With structure exposed there is no physical catproduct in the system and is an issue when working outside enovia to create the assembly drawing.
If you don't plan to update the drawing you could just import the drawing document as primary to the enovia part.
I haven't tried this but try to create an assembly drawing the enovia way with a link, say a front view. Export everything and complete the drawing, import the drawing back, try check out/check in. Verify that the links are ok. If this works then you could supply the drawing to your supplier.

What I should use to export everything correctly?:)
RE: Export/Import in Enovia VPM
If I'm not mistaken there is an API for exporting from enovia, check with the IT people or programmers if there are any. In enoiva I'm not sure if you can export an assembly know of some ways of exporting but they are one at the time. I would try with catia first, save managment or DMU data flow.
Aren't there global settings/filters in reconsilator you can apply so it matches local parts with parts in Enovia??
