Rule Already Exists

Rule Already Exists

Rule Already Exists

(OP)
I'm receiving the subject error when opening NX6 part files in NX9 ... we've not long upgraded.

The files open in NX10 okay, but upgrading again is not an option. I've contacted GTAC and have to hope for an MP in NX9.

Has anyone seen this error, know if there's any possible work around ? I still have NX6, so if there's anything that can be fixed there, that's an option for me.

RE: Rule Already Exists

Phillpd,

One case that manifested these symptoms (not loading in NX 9 but able to load NX 6 part in NX 8) was able to be resolved by removing a component array and saving the part.

If the part contains a component array this workaround might work.

HTH,

Joe

RE: Rule Already Exists

Have you tried a part cleanup and/or the refile part utility?

Be sure to make backups of your part files before testing...

RE: Rule Already Exists

Have you sent a syslog to GTAC for analysis?

The files open fine in NX6. Not a chance in NX9, so I can't run a Part Cleanup.

There are component arrays, so I'll take a look at those, see if they're causing the NX9 issue.

I have called it into GTAC and they've converted it to a PR. A similar issue was apparently caused by expressions of the same name, but using different cases. I couldn't see this with the files I have.

It's a very specific error message, I'm surprised the issue isn't obvious.

phillipd --

Great to hear you've submitted this, and that it's in TAC at this point. That's an important first step toward getting a resolution.

Reading the PR text, and talking with Joe Petach (also in this thread above) it sounds like the developers clearly understand the problem at this point.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention! smile
