Question

IsoDraw 7.3 M020 Build 19 vs. .PVZ output

Created an assembly in Creo 2.0 and saved to my desktop. Cleared memory and reopend assembly in Creo, did Save a Copy as .PVZ, go to IsoDraw and open the .PVZ file and some components are missing? Go back to Creo and reopen all components are visable.

Also seems like IsoDraw is taking forever to project in 2D, compared to other releases.

Any advice? I hope it is not contact PTC!

Can you check "Selection of Structures" when importing assembly?

Yes Vlad all structures are checked for import. Also tested this on multiple computers and achieved the same error.

Hi Dan,

I have the same problem. This behavior is addressed to the PTC Technical Support call CS160526.

Should be resolved in Arbortext IsoDraw CADprocess 7.3 M030.

I have now solved this problem so that I transferred the data to the step, loaded back into Creo and saved as PVZ again.

Complicated, but nothing else occurred to me.

Best Regards

Ludek

So you are saying that any work done in Creo, you need to save as a .STEP file, then open the .STEP file in Creo and then save as a .PVZ?

I guess I don't understand how this is happening more than once? For a product that is supposed to read native Creo files I don't understand how the testing cannot be done for IsoDraw at the same time? Now I have to waste months doing a work around until M030 comes out and they supposedly fix the issue? Weird.
