Template file mystery
Template file mystery
(OP)
I am trying to import a parasolid asembly into SW2003 SP3.1. When I open the file, the top level assembly uses the designated assembly template, but the component part files do not use the designated part file template.
The desired default template path is set in the system options. I get the same result whether I set to prompt for template or always use specified template.
I searched my entire system and can find no other part templates, so I can't tell where else SW is getting this bogus template from.

I may make you feel, but I can't make you think.

How can you tell that it's not using it, what's different?
How many paths do you have in your Tools\options\Document Properties\File Locations\Document Templates ? Make sure you only have one path.
I don't have an assembly of a parasolid. If you can send me one I'll try it out here.
Thanks,

You may want to try changing all of the settings in the default template to match your desired part template settings.

Meanwhile, I heard from my VAR, who had forwarded this to the central scrutinizer at SW. Apparently, they know about this problem. The bad news is that they don't consider this to be a regression, so it is lo priority to fix.

RE: Template file mystery
This issue is now SPR 175066. It has been upgraded to "regression", meaning something that worked fine in SW2001 that doesn't now and is a high priority fix.
Apparently, SW2003 retains the ability to manufacture templates when none are present. The parasolid translator is accessing this ability instead of using the specified template.
Stoker:
I tried subbing the templates in the default directory with renamed copies of my templates. No effect.
