CATIA CGR Large Assembly and Drawing Creation

[BrandonM]

Does anyone use large CATIA assemblies? I have been trying to use CATIA CGR Assemblies not very successfully. I have requested direct PTC help, and have been pointed to an article that says it works as it should. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS369182?source=Case%20Viewer  Does anyone use CGR's to make drawings besides me? Is there a preferred way to do this with CATIA and Windchill WGM?  I'm trying to avoid switching into Structure Mode, so I don't have to spend a ton of time loading every day. Maybe loading a saved state of the assembly? 

Just looking for some suggestions from the hivemind that is the internet.  

-Cheers!

The topic you just created is Creo Parametric vs the cases you filed were about Creo Windchill Workgroup manager.
Can you first confirm that the issue happens without the Manager?

Remy,

So far as I know we have to use WGM at the same time, as its tied into our CATIA. If you mean just close WGM while trying to open files from the workspace that WGM manages, I can try that. Let me know if that is what you mean.

that's exactly what I mean.
Indeed the current thread you posted in is Creo solely (without windchill or workgroup manager).

Just need to make sure we can offer the help you need.

I did a bunch of testing with Assy CGR's and I do not get the error when I do not use open in catia via WGM.  I do not get the error when I open the parts from file open and open it from the Workspace location. When I open the assy in catia via WGM, and then open the Drawing I get this error.  

No WGM No error. But it seems to load less visualizations.

Any Ideas Remy?

Our thread has remained idle for weeks. Apologies for delay in coming back to you. 

Your confirm the error message pops up exclusively with WGM.

Thanks to the screencapture, I made a search in our knowledge base and found two articles:

• https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs369182 (which you already were pointed to)
• https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs294527 

Both confirm that this is working normally and one of which recommends to load the assembly in structure mode to resolve the issue. Being a Creo Parametric specialist exclusively this is out of my technical expertise. 

In order to get proper help, i recommend that the topic be moved to the WGM section on our community.

No worries on the delay, work happens. I just appreciate a response, so thanks again for that. How do I move it?

-Cheers!
