NX/Windchill integration PDF Error

[fatihsimsek]

After checking in a technical drawing I drew in the NX CAD program to the Windchill PLM system, when I get it as a PDF from Windchill, it gives the PDF of the old versions. I can't get the current version. Right now, I have a solution by saving the PDF of the drawing to my desktop in NX. However, I want other departments in the company to get the correct and up-to-date PDF version in the Windchill PLM system. How can I solve this problem?

Hi @fatihsimsek 

How the PDF is generated? by you and saved as attachement?

If yes, then you have to manually update the PDF file.

This configuration can help you.

Hi

Like @HelesicPetr I'm curious as to how your PDFs are generated. I presume that you have a CAD Worker to generate representations on check in and probably also for release, and if so I wonder how it converts your drawings.

By default the ug2pv recipe publishes to CGM. Have you made changes to your system since you say that you have PDF of older versions but not newer? 

We also use NX and have set up the workers to generate CGM and then PDF through publish rules.
