SmarTeam - CATIA Integration


General, Open & Documentation Issues

General Issues

Project Based Authorization When project-based security is applied to a CAD object in the CAD integration using Project Manager and the object is saved under a folder, Propagate Security is not checked automatically.

Open Issues

Enable Protected Session Mode If Protected Session Mode is enabled and SmarTeam - Editor is already launched, CATIA cannot be connected to SmarTeam and an error message is displayed.

Workaround:    Do not launch and log in to SmarTeam - Editor separately. First launch CATIA, ensure that there is no instance of SmarTeam - Editor already running, and then connect to SmarTeam.
Refresh Under root product, a sub-assembly having a contextual part & internal component is not replaced with the latest revision when performing a global refresh on a large assembly.
  Workaround:    None
Highlight in CATIA An error message is displayed if a CATIA product is opened as read-only and you try to execute Highlight in CATIA from SmarTeam - Editor.
  Workaround:    Uncheck the cache mode in CATIA Tools\Options\Infrastructure\Product Structure\Cache Management tab and then perform "Highlight In CATIA"
CATIA When a product is modified by adding a second instance and using the Replace previous revision option, only one part instance is shown under the WIP.
  Workaround:    None
Save Operation When a Catalog is created in CATIA, it should be saved on disk first before it is saved in SmarTeam.
  Workaround:    None
Save Operation When an assembly is checked out and then is checked in directly without saving, CATIA Product Instance information is not saved correctly to SmarTeam. This affects the 3DLive Explore in place > Examine functionality and V5-V6 coexistence.
  Workaround:
  Before checking in an assembly, perform a SmarTeam Save operation.
User Interface You cannot maximize the CATIA window when it was minimized by using Show Desktop.
  Workaround:
  To maximize the CAD application, select the Bring to Front option from the Task Manager.
CATIA If an assembly is not fully loaded the first time it is saved to SmarTeam, a checkout on the fly will occur the next time the assembly is opened in CATIA.
  Workaround:
  On saving an assembly to SmarTeam for the first time, the user should load it fully in order to support SmarTeam to CATIA mapping.

Documentation

WIP Creation You can apply Work in Progress (WIP) commands on the children of the original assembly which are in Checked In or Released state, even though the latest revision of some of the children is in Checked Out state. For more information, refer to Using Work In Progress (WIP) Assembly.

In the Workspace Creation dialog box, you may select multiple documents using the Ctrl key and then apply Open modes on all the selected documents.

In the Find and Set Mode dialog box, you may select and set Open modes on all the searched occurrences at the same time. To select all of the searched occurrences, click in the Occurrences Found box, press Ctrl+A and then from the Set Open Mode, click the Open mode you want. For more information, refer to Creating Work In Progress (WIP) Assembly.
