Save Drawing CGM Data
Save Drawing CGM Data
(OP)
In the NX 5 and 6 Save Options, there is a check to have the drawing CGM data saved when you save your drawing I presume. Does this work in naive mode or only with Teamcenter? I have it set in Teamcenter but when I click on the viewer tab in the rich client the CGM data does not show up like the JT data does for the part file. Another user was wanting it to work in native mode today also.

The second idea I have for you in that vein is that you can write a journal or macro to be placed under a toolbar icon or user exit that may be helpful in maintaining such a system for you. Doing the same with teamcentre presents its own problems again because you'd want to update the saved contents to an file stored under the item master. That becomes more complex and while I'm seeing the how and why mostly I'm seeing problems and hopefully they alone suggest where to start looking for the right solutions.

'Save Drawing CGM Data' Save option only works in Teamcenter, which will generates a .qaf file, do you see .qaf file under the namedreferences of your UG NX dataset for which you generated a CGM with the Save option turned on? if yes, the CGM file was generated successfully and your portal viewer settings need some tewaks for visualization.
Do you have Teamcenter Visualization software (Vis Pro or Vis Mockup) installed on your box? if yes you could try launching these CGMs with by double click.
To get the similar functionality in native mode, one has to write a custom UGOPEN program and associate that function with Save (Ctr+S) button for automatic CGM generation/update.
