CATIA CAD Structure Not Reflecting Renumber When Opened Outside of Windchill

[MB_10389467]

We have some CAD Documents that have been renumbered with an appended "-O" before their file suffix, i.e. "12345.CATPart" renumbered to "12345-O.CATPart" to avoid conflicts during an old migration. When we add a CATProduct with this file in its structure to a workspace through a WGM on a machine with CATIA V5 installed, the downloaded CAD data is updated and the structure reflects the renumber when we open it in CATIA. However, when we add to a workspace through WGM on a machine without CATIA installed and attempt to open the file in Enovia, the structure does not reflect the renumbered objects and tells the user that there are missing files. 

This seems to have started after our upgrade to 12.1.2.6, though it's possible it was happening before and users just never reported/noticed it, as unlikely as that seems. Can anyone confirm that CATIA is required to be installed when downloading the content for the CAD data to be updated with the renumbered references?

Hi @MB_10389467 

The point is that WGM should update the references inside the files, so I guess that without the WGM for Catia the references can not be updated inside the files if you install WGM that is not installed specificaly for Catia..
