Workload Instruction Composer (WKC) PE

 

General Issues

Do not modify product structure in 3DVIA Composer The product structure should not be changed inside 3DVIA Composer (aka WKC's Enrich mode). Any changes that reference the modified product structure will not be maintained.
Do not use Ghostly mode WKC does not yet support Ghostly mode. As a result, usage of all Ghostly-related commands in WKC or 3DVIA Composer (aka WKC's Enrich mode) should be avoided.
SmgXml graphic files should only be assigned to leaf nodes in DPE  If there exists a top/parent level graphic file (for e.g. Assembly_CATProduct.smgXml) that references other leaf/child level graphic files (for e.g. Part1_CATPart.smgXml and Part2_CATPart.smgXml) -- and if the leaf/child level graphic files are assigned as graphic to leaf nodes in DPE -- then the top/parent level graphic file should not be assigned as graphic to a assembly node in DPE.

Example SmgXml Structure:

Assembly_CATProduct.smgXml

|__Part1_CATPart.smgXml

|__Part2_CATPart.smgXml

Example DPE Structure (Incorrect Assignment):

SubAssembly (attribute25 = “Assembly_CATProduct.smgXml”)

|_Part1 (attribute25 = “Part1_CATPart.smgXml”)

|_Part2 (attribute25 = “Part2_CATPart.smgXml”)

Open Issues

Creation of multiple views/thumbnails inside WKC Inside M-Hub, user can create a duplicate operation/process  through Copy-Paste or Drag-Drop under either the same Workplan or under a different Workplan. In this case, the copied operation/process is NOT a new object, but its a 'reference' to the original operation/process. If the user opens WKC on the referenced  operation/process, then inside WKC, the views/thumbnails will get duplicated.
Hide/Show of Annotations Annotations are not deleted when the View is deleted. When the view is deleted, they are send to the 'No Visibility' mode. When the user does 'Invert Visibility', then the hidden annotations are shown. These annotations also include those for which the View was deleted.

Documentation

Information about Filtering The documentation includes the following information:

As the changes are saved, dialogs appear that provide information about about the modifications. The Removed Entities tab dialog only displays removed objects that were visible in at least one view. If the object was not visible in all views, it is not be displayed in the Impacted Views frame.


Notes: When CATIA data is exported through 3DVia Sync, the solid model and the sketches will be exported as separate objects. The Work Instruction Composer makes the solid model visible, but not the sketches. If a revision includes changes to the solid model that results in sketches being added or removed, these sketches will be listed in the revision blob as adds and removes. But, the sketches are not be displayed in the Removed Entities dialog because they were never visible.
Also, a solid model is exported as single object by 3DVia Sync and not as a collection of separate faces. An annotation attached to a solid model will remain attached to the solid even if a revision removes the ‘face’ to which the annotation points.
