Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

(OP)
Hi
My Teamcenter has the clone_name (Item number) locked, so when I import an assembly file from NX to Teamcenter I can change only Part_name end Part_description.
I work with log_file end I use clone_tc.clone to change my attribute.

The problem is that when import the assembly file from TeamCenter in NX, the real_name in NX is the Item number, so I can't work with relation browser!

Thank's smile

RE: Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

xpeppx,

Would the NX customer default "Teamcenter Integration for NX, General, General (tab), Use Item Name instead of Item Number" be a solution?

Regards,

Joe

Hi jpetach
Unfortunatelly in my company we have Customer Default locked.
Is there an another solution?

If I use your solution what are the aftermath? because my company has more sites with one castomer default.


Thank you so much!

RE: Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

Hi xpeppx

Have you tried using the ug_import tool?
With this tool it will look at your attributes setup in your NX part file and map them to TC.

Example
I have a part outside of Teamcenter named testpart.prt. I have attributes in the file DB_PART_NO=12345, DB_PART_NAME=part name, DB_PART_DESC=Description.

Upon using ug_import tool to import the part I will then be able to search for 12345 inside teamcenter.

I don't know if this of any use?

Regards

Gareth

Hi Gareth ,
I don't know if it work.....How can I use ug_tool? do you have a simple example? Where is this tool?

RE: Import assembly.prt in Teamcenter

Hi xpeppx

You will need to run a tc command prompt in order to do this.

or

Run windows command prompt
SET TC_ROOT="Location of your teamcenter root directory" mine would be c:\siemens\tc10
SET TC_DATA="location of your teamcenter data" typically \\servername\tc_data
\\servername\tc_data\tcprofilevars.bat

The you will need to change directory to your ugmanager location mine was...

cd c:\siemens\nx9\ugmanager

then...

ugimport

then enter, this should give you a list of the options to set for the import process.

If I wanted to import my 12345.prt it would look

ugimport -part=c:\import\12345.prt -u=import user -p=import password

Hope this helps

Regards

Gareth

I worked with ug_import tool but it's not a good solution.
I set the DB_PART_NO, DB_PART_NAME, DB_PART_DESC......but Teamcenter change
DESCRIPTIVE PART NAME = ITEM NUMBER/REV
PART NAME = ITEM NUMBER/REV
COMPONENT NAME = DB_PART_NAME

Maybe the jpetach's solution worked but I can't test it.
