Creo 2.0 M030 and Work cells

Question

Hi AllI have just found another issue with Creo 2.0 with work cellsI was trying to import a saved work cell last week, but when I tried to load, it came up with a new screenNow I tried to tick all of these option one by one and load the work cell, but all I got was this message.I couldn't load any of my saved work cells.Now we kind of figured it out, we resaved the current work cell in Creo 2.0 under another name and treid to load it again, this time with the option above ticked, I received this box belowthen by clicking the box circled and selecting the CSYS as shown belowWE CAN LOAD THE SAVED WORK CELL..what does this mean, something has changed within work cells from Creo 1/ Pro E to Creo 2, any saved work cell is now useless, so any specials cells you may have created and saved, unless you can open a file with it in place and resaved from within Creo 2.0, can't be used....PTC need to fix this...Peter

Peter,Not exactly sure what you mean by importing work cells? Is this to change from one machine to another in the operation or is this how you set up a new part for machining? I change machines by editing the operation definition then on the upper right hand side I get two pulldowns the first is mfg setup. If you pull that down at the bottom you getr user defined work centers. You can then add or change to what you want. If it is to start a new manufacturing job I would recommend using start parts with the machining center already in there. I have start parts for each machine with all the different materials all set up so all I do is assemble the part and stock to be machined.If you need i have a pdf on how to make start parts. It is really simple to do and saves a ton of setup time.Steve
