Working with WPPT 1.2 and Wildfire 5.0 M030 un a XPx64 platform.
When I select "OPEN IN PROE" (this is the only way to open a old version ) a new Proe session ist started even I have one running and no files are opened in ProE.
With no ProE running it starts ProE but also not data is loaded in ProE
I found that there should be no spaces in the ProE installation path (wich is default Program Files in WIN7) so I changed Installation, but no success.
Any ideas why this file is not getting loaded in ProE
?
1. Do you see nmsd.exe (PTC Name service) process in the Windows task manager?
2. Do you use 'proe1.bat' to launch Pro/ENGINEER?
3. Do you use a custom port for PTC Name service?
Thanks
YES nmsd.exe was started
YES I userd proe1.bt tand the PORT I used was standard.
Now I udpgraded to WF5 M060 ads that fixed the problem,
there seems to be a problem with WF5 M030
A recommended way to use 'Open in Pro/ENGINEER' functionality.
There're two cases - either Pro/ENGINEER is already running and linked to a WPP server, or there's no running Pro/ENGINEER.
The recomended way is the first one.
1. Launch Pro/ENGINEER and be sure to have the intended WPP server registered in it.
2. Navigate to that WPP server using internet browser or embedded browser inside Pro/ENGINEER
3. Execute 'Open in Pro/ENGINEER' command for the interesting model. This can be done for as many models (with different names) as needed and till the Pro/ENGINEER memory allows.
The advantage of this way is:
1. The intended config.pro file can be used
2. Time won't be spent on launching Pro/ENGINEER - the running session is reused
3. The intended version of Pro/ENGINEER can be used (for example, a network installation)
Be aware
1. The functionality depends on PTC Name Service (nmsd.exe). It has to run on the default port.
2. Pro/ENGINEER can have only one model in memory with the same name. Do not try to open different versions of the same model into the same Pro/ENGINEER.
3. The running Pro/ENGINEER version is reused. If another instance of Pro/ENGINEER is launched - then this is an indication of some problems.
