- Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 19.00
- PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager
Description
- Quantity column from Windchill PDMlink BOM reports is shown blank when exported to Creo Elements Direct Modeling
- When Quantity and Quantity with Units are added to customize the Windchill PDMLink table view, in the multi level BOM report of HTML UI, it is observed that both columns have the same name Quantity
- When BOM is exported to Creo Elements Direct Modeling, tool is unable to distinguish both the columns with same name Quantity leading to one of the columns to be left blank
- Creo Elements Direct Modeling's Windchill Workgroup Manager adapter expects unique column name when BOM table is exported from HTML UI
- Steps to reproduce
- Start Creo Elements Direct Modeling (CEDM) in connected mode with PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager (WWGM) though a primary active workspace
- Create a CAD Structure in CEDM and Check In with Auto-Associate to create the related Part Structure
- Create a multi-level BOM Report
- In the BOM Report, customize the view to include columns Quantity and Quantity with Units
- Export the multi-level BOM Report to CEDM using the action in the report
- Observe the Exported BOM report, Quantity column is shown blank
- Expected that both Quantity fields should be handled correctly
