STEP import logs, from NX, in Workspace

Version: Windchill 13.0

 

Use Case: Importing a STEP214 into the NX workpart, stores the log file in Workspace


Description:

I'm debugging an issue we have been having with STEP imports into the NX workpart.  During my testing, I wanted to take a look at the STEP log file.  I should always get a log file, and when I do it's in the Workspace.  How do I get rid of them?  Second, third, etc. attempts to do the sTEP import results in "already exists in Windchill File System".

 

So how do I get rid of the log file?  I can browse to the PTC Places location in Windows Explorer, but I can't delete from there while WGM is running.  If I close WGM and browse to the .wfs workspace location, the log file isn't there.  If I run Windows Explorer as admin, and browse to the PTC Places workspace, I can't, due to permissions.

 

How do people deal with log files in their workspace?

Do you have any filters applied in the WGM view that is hiding the log files?

that was probably it.  I've cleared the workspace since, but will keep that in mind next time.
