Part is not derived from a multi cad part file

Part is not derived from a multi cad part file

Hi
I'm using NX8 with Teamcentre 9.
I have an assembly that displays an error message after trying to do an overall save:
"...part is not derived from a multi cad part file."

It seems to save the changes I have made but this error is worrying.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Are you sure that it's being reported as an 'Error' rather than merely a 'Notice' or 'Info'?

Sounds like something in Teamcenter was expecting something that wasn't there. Perhaps a call to GTAC might be your best chance for a quick resolution to this issue.

RE: Part is not derived from a multi cad part file

I have the same problem here.

Was it solved and when how?

Hi,

I found a part in my assembly that did'nt have 3D data attached to it in Teamcentre so when NX tried to populate that part with 3D it couldn't.
This then translates up to the assmebly, when saving, as an error.

In the end, I tracked down the problem part by:
>Save
>Error Produced
>Help>Log File
>Ctrl+F
>Search for 'derived' or 'multi-cad' as quoted in the error

You should be able to see which part is causing the error in the log file where the error is shown.

Hope this helps.
