Configurations | After changing the Configuration
Name on a saved part, it is not possible to perform a Check In operation.
|
Simplified Configurations | In some cases, when using
simplified configurations, the master configuration is not updated in
SmarTeam when you rename the configuration. Therefore, it is recommended
that you update the master configuration in SmarTeam.
|
General | When a simplified extension
character appears in a configuration name multiple times, the simplified
configuration may be saved to SmarTeam more than once.
|
Refresh | The Refresh option does not work
in the Profile Card and you must close and then re-open the profile card to
update the display.
|
Bulk Load | In some cases, after performing a Bulk Load operation on a SolidWorks assembly with multiple configurations, hierarchical links are not created and the assembly structure is incorrect. As a result, it is recommended that you open the assembly in SolidWorks and save it to SmarTeam.
|
Preview | Conversion on the fly The SolidWorks Conversion on the fly mechanism does not work properly when the user selects the 'No preview during open (faster)' option from the SolidWorks options > Performance section.
|
Script Maintenance | After adding mappings in a current
session, a SolidWorks drawing is not recognized by SmarTeam.
|
Configuration Settings | When working with SolidWorks 2009,
and selecting a parent assembly, the Reload Latest option does not
work in the SmarTeam - SolidWorks integration using the Data Manager Tree (DMT)
or SmarTeam pulldown menu.
|
Lifecycle | Replace previous revision affects
all configurations (CFO) and overcomes user defined revisions.
|
Virtual components | While performing a SmarTeam Save
on a first-level virtual component when the top assembly is opened as
read-only, Error no. 00062 appears and the Data Manager Tree (DMT) is not
refreshed.
|
Open Dialog | If the Quick View checkbox
is checked in the SmarTeam Open Dialog, the SolidWorks Selective Open
dialog does not appear when you open an assembly.
|
Lifecycle | When a lifecycle operation on an
open SolidWorks document fails due to connectivity problems in SmarTeam -
SolidWorks integration, the active document becomes marked as Read-only.

as the default viewer for SolidWorks files, the profile card may switch to
the background when you activate Show Profile Card from the SmarTeam -
SolidWorks Integration and press the Viewer tab.
|
Menu | SmarTeam Menu and Toolbar After running the Data Model Designer (DMD), minor changes may be presented in the SmarTeam menu and SmarTeam toolbar when working in the SmarTeam - SolidWorks Integration. Note: The administrator may change the SolidWorks menus using the SmarTeam Menu Editor.
|
Lifecycle | If SmarTeam services are restarted
while you are working in a SolidWorks session, SmarTeam crashes when you
perform Lifecycle operations.
|
Simplified extension | If a simplified extension appears more than once, the configuration name of a simplified configuration in SmarTeam will include the simplified extension. |
Workaround: | |
Use a simplified extension only once.
|
|
Mapping | Mass properties for an assembly are not mapped to the Profile Card. Note: Mapping of mass properties for parts is successful.
|
Open Dialog | The "Do not load hidden" option in the Open Dialog is ignored if the "Open for edit" check box is marked. |
Workaround: | |
When using the "Open for" option, everything works correctly.
|
|
Save Operation | A Save operation cannot be performed if the same part appears in different levels in the structure with a virtual component. |
Workaround: | |
None
|
|
e-Drawings Viewer | In some cases, when SolidWorks 2009 SP3 and SmarTeam eDrawings viewer are installed on the same machine, SolidWorks drawings cannot be displayed in the viewer tab in SmarTeam profile card |
Workaround: | |
None
|
|
Lifecycle | After using a new Toolbox part, lifecycle operations are performed automatically without alerting the user. |
Workaround: | |
Restart SolidWorks and SmarTeam core services.
|
|
Insert Component | When you perform an Insert Component operation from the SmarTeam menu on a read-only assembly in SolidWorks, the Check Out on the Fly notification is not displayed. As a result, the user may insert the component into the assembly, but a subsequent Save operation will fail because the assembly is read-only. |
Workaround: | |
To save the changes made to the assembly, select the SmarTeam Overwrite Open Dialog option and use the SolidWorks Insert Component option.
|
|
Save Operation | When working with simplified configurations and saving a SolidWorks file with several configurations to SmarTeam, the last configuration is registered as Master Configuration. This results in incorrect mapping of properties from SolidWorks to SmarTeam. |
Workaround: | |
Do not map Master Configuration in Integration Tools Setup.
|
|
Configuration Settings | It is not possible to perform a Check In operation for a lightweight component. |
Workaround: | |
Resolve the lightweight component and then perform the Check In operation.
|
|
Configuration Settings | When you import SolidWorks files to SmarTeam using bulk load and the files are not converted to SolidWorks 2009, incorrect suppressed links are created. |
Workaround: | |
Before performing bulk load on SolidWorks files, run the SolidWorks conversion tool to convert files to SolidWorks 2009.
|
|
Detached Drawing | When working in the SmarTeam - SolidWorks integration, the model is not found when you open a vaulted detached drawing using Load Model. |
Workaround: | |
None
|
|
BOM | When using SolidWorks 2009 and working in the SmarTeam - SolidWorks Integration, the BOM from CAD option does not work correctly. |
Workaround: | |
Use the Create/Update BOM option from SmarTeam - Editor.
|
|
Configuration Settings | Upon releasing a checked-in SolidWorks part or assembly, the file properties are not loaded. |
Workaround: | |
Before performing the Release operation, perform a Check Out operation and choose Load properties from the SmarTeam menu, and then release the part/assembly.
|
|
Version control | In some cases, SolidWorks files are not replaced with the correct version in the work directory. |
Workaround: | |
Clean the work directory before opening a file from SmarTeam.
|
|
Design Table | If you add Design Table to a checked in document in SolidWorks and check out the document [modification notification appears] and check in the document, the document loses the Design Table. |
Workaround: | |
Check out the document and then add the Design Table.
|
|
Toolbox properties | Customization of Toolbox properties does not work if a directory is set in the Directory_structure.Shared_DIR key. |
Workaround: | |
None
|
|
Configurations | User cannot add a configuration to a vaulted object. |
Workaround: | |
To add a configuration, the object should be checked out.
|
|
Linear patterns with multiple configurations | When working with SolidWorks 2008 and using linear patterns with multiple configurations, the quantity of components may be incorrect. |
Workaround: | |
Set the value of the SwitchConfigurationOnSave key to TRUE. Note: This may affect performance.
|
|
Virtual Components | Compare tree cannot be used for a structure that contains Virtual Components. |
Workaround: | |

|
|
Databases | Demo Databases When working in the SmDemo environment, the SolidWorks toolbar and menu are not displayed correctly after upgrading from SmarTeam - SolidWorks Integration V5R17 and above. In addition, user customization is overwritten after the upgrade. |
Workaround: | |
To retain user customization from the earlier installation, do the following:
|
|
Design Copy | Operation of a copy is not executed by default according to lifecycle rules when CFO links are not displayed in Design Copy view. |
Workaround: | |
In the Design Copy options, mark the Show CFO check box, close Design Copy view and then repeat the operation.
|
|
Configuration Settings | Mass properties mapping does not work for assemblies. |
Workaround: | |
None
|
|
Toolbox | ![]() When you use the Toolbox in SolidWorks with SmarTeam and set the toolbox to Create Part, this may lead to deletion of files from the vault after you add a new part from the Toolbox to the SolidWorks assembly that was saved to SmarTeam. |
Workaround: | |
Set System Configuration Key SolidWorks.AllowAddConfigToNonStdVaultedFiles=NO
|
|
General | When using linear patterns with multiple configurations in SolidWorks 2008, the quantity of components may be incorrect. |
Workaround: | |
Workaround: Set the value of the SwitchConfigurationOnSave key to TRUE.
Note: This may affect performance.
|
|
Configuration Settings | If the same component appears in an assembly and in a virtual subassembly, the assembly structure will be incorrect in SmarTeam. |
Workaround: | |
To resolve this issue, externalize VirtualSubAssem.
|
|
Virtual components | SolidWorks assemblies that contain virtual components cannot be duplicated using Design Copy. |
Workaround: | |
To perform a Design Copy operation, the user must externalize all virtual components prior to performing the Design Copy operation. Performing Design Copy with virtual components may cause broken links within the SolidWorks assembly. |
