Once the connection server is online NX lost the key to use Manufacturing Part.
The NX properties are complitely ignored about NX Manufacturing template.
Template for part, assembly and drawing are ok. We lost only template for Manufacturing template
Any ideas about it?

Attached you will see the different steps

Step 1-4 OFF line behaviour

Step 1 =  Server manger OFF - no server

Step 2 =  Open a CAD part

Step 3 =  create the manufacturing part

Step 4 = open the manufacturing part linked to CAD Step 2

 

Step 5-8 ON line behaviour

Step 5 =  Server manger ON - on line

Step 6 =  Open a CAD part

Step 7 =  create the manufacturing part

Step 8 = open the manufacturing part is not linked to CAD Step 2

This could have to do with your NX model tree... 

 

You have a lot of wavelinked bodies. Is your "Delay Model Updates" on? NX is particular about references - especially when it's connected to Windchill - and there are types of references Windchill doesn't (yet) support (like references from routing object geometries if you do tubing or harnesses). 

 

Are the bodies you're linking available in the workspace (and therefore available in the %PTC_WFS_ROOT% folder of your cache)? 

 

When you're opening your CAD, make sure to open with Assembly load options set to "Fully Load" too...

But!!!!! When I start NX with Wgm connected the assebly load options is overridden and it links directly only to the workspace....the additional path has to be uploaded manually.

 

I wonder if this could be done by setup.
