Unable to create drawing (GMToolkit) from cloned part from Teamcenter
Unable to create drawing (GMToolkit) from cloned part from Teamcenter
(OP)
I need to create a GM drawing from a file I cloned and downloaded from Teamcenter. We are just creating the drawing for markup purposes.
When I try to create the drawing a get an error (see attached). Any idea on how to remove the PDM info?

Are you workin in Teamcenter or in Native NX???? Seems to me like you're getting a read/write permission message while trying to change a part in Teamcenter. Did you go through a Teamcenter to Native NX export process or just find the file in Teamcenter and open in NX? If you just opened it, then you're probably using the file from GM's database and don't have permissions to change it. Never did run into any downloading with GM either - the export process was the downloading essentially - and THEN I opened the file in Native NX.
See if you can export the original part (not cloned part) out of Teamcenter into Native NX. (Never have cloned nor heard of people cloning anything within Teamcenter, but not saying it isn't done). Exporting out should get rid of GM's read/write access restrictions and allow you to change the part as you wish - I'd never work in Teamcenter, always Native NX. Can you not add this "file" as a component to a new NX file and THEN create your dwg if the above isn't an option? Again, this error is something I've never seen before, but like I said, I never work in Teamcenter - always export the parts out to Native and then start doing as I wish.
I highly doubt that this is the Toolkit - that's just a set of tools to help you prepare and/or check drawings and models for import into Teamcenter.
