Issue: Windchill SolidWorks Publisher prints BLANK representations Windchill 11 - Solid Works Premium 2016 x64 SP 5.0
When publishing .slddrw files in Windchill, the representations are now coming out blank. This WAS working. Not sure what has changed. We did add some additional file types...see additional_file_type_publishrule.xml below.
A normal slddrw as show in _SLDDRW.JPG - this is just how it looks in Solidworks then it turns into the visualization shown in _blankoutput.jpg
NOTE: you can see the title block and some of the call outs (circled in red) appear in the visualization, but nothing else. Already looked into the following: CS48758 and CS111431 - not sure if either are related. Didn't seem to be.
See SW recipe files - rcp1, 2, 2a, 3, 3a for current settings.
FYI: We do not use the GS Worker Daemon service, running in Foreground instead. --> Here's an portion of a job log...refers to issue with EDZ?
