Question

Failed to build part error - HELP please

When I do a RIGHT CLICK to Build Associated Part, I will sometimes get this error.  Any suggestions?

The image attached, I'm basically Right Click, Build Associated Part, then I get that error.  The 12600453-6314.prt is RELEASED now, so not sure if the state change caused some issues.  I've had this happen before, and the only fix was to modify a part at released (basically do any random change to generate a new iteration), but that cannot be the soltution.

FYI, the 12600453-6314.prt is related as a IMAGE.  (We basically have a bunch of different tie wraps that are modeled and used to build the BOM).

When building part from CAD, the part must iterate. Therefore whoever is performing the build action must have modify permission on the latest version of part. Options are

1) Put the current part version into a state where you have modify permission. (set state / promote etc)

2) Create a new version of part at a different state where you have modify permission (revise)

3) Perform the build as admin

The state of the CAD model does not matter, as long as it is not checked out by somebody else during the build

For clarification.  The ASSEMBLY I'm trying to build is IN-WORK.  The error is related to the RELEASED part, but it already has a relationship built.  Seems like that when I am trying to build the assembly it's trying to revise all the released parts also.

short check list

  1. The parent part is already in structure
  2. The parent part has "owner" link to CAD assembly
  3. All the lower models you expect to see in BOM are in the CAD assembly
  4. The latest version of all lower models are associated to a Windchill part with a link type that contributes to structure (owner, contributing image or image)

If the part is still not showing in structure

Check that the usage for missing lower part has not been manually removed from part structure (using the red minus button). Don't forget you can intentionally have models in CAD which do not show in part structure and parts in structure that are not in CAD assembly. Sometimes people remove usages by accident or simply forget they did it.

Using "managed deleted occurrence" you have the option to undelete deleted uses
