db_Part_Description not showing
db_Part_Description not showing
(OP)
NX 4.0.4.2
Teamcenter 2005
I am working on a large assembly, and need to load it with 'No Components' I have to search through sub-assemblies to find the parts to open. Some parts(not all) are listed in the ANT with the 'db_part_desc' the same as the 'Descritive Part Name' in this case an 8 digit numerical number. It is not until the part is opened in the ANT that the db_part_desc changes to the correct name.
Load options are set at 'Latest Working'
Thanks,
Andy

RE: db_Part_Description not showing
This is because your stucture is out of date, if when you open the assembly with no components you hover your cursor over the very top level, right click and select update structure and all levels it should sort you out.
However if you assembly is a massive assembly like many of ours are (50,000 parts +) then this will takek all day and you would want to set it running over night. Once the structure has been updated, save the very top level of the assembly and then each time you open up the assembly with no components, hey presto, the DB_PART_NAMES will show. YOu must then make sure you structure is kept up to date.

RE: db_Part_Description not showing
Before you ask it does take a little time to perform an update structure. Earlier versions of UG used to perform something like this on the fly. Don't wish for it back; it was changed away from that I suspect principally because you'd typically crash a machine before you'd open the bigger assemblies of the time.
