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.
|
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.
|
Script Maintenance | After adding mappings in a current session, a SolidWorks drawing is not recognized by 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.
|
Menu / Toolbar | 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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
Lifecycle | If SmarTeam services are restarted while you are working in a SolidWorks session, SmarTeam crashes when you perform Lifecycle operations.
|
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.
|
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.
|
Conversion on the Fly ![]() |
No conversion message is shown for an assembly file. Instead, the assembly requires a Checkout operation. Conversion on the fly is offered correctly for the parts used in the assembly. |
Workaround: | |
Check out the assembly and perform a SmarTeam
Save operation on the assembly document.
|
|
Save Operation | Part/Drawing/Assembly is not identified in DMT when using the Replace Previous Revision option in Lifecycle. |
Workaround: | |
Close and then re-open SolidWorks.
|
|
Virtual components | When saving an assembly in lightweight mode, some of its virtual components are saved in the temporary directory, although they should not be saved to SmarTeam at all. |
Workaround: | |
Do not use lightweight mode if the assembly includes virtual components.
|
|
Simplified Configurations | 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
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Configurations | User cannot add a configuration to a vaulted object. |
Workaround: | |
To add a configuration, the object should be checked out.
|
|
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
|
|
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.
|
|
BOM | When using SolidWorks 2009 and above, 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.
|
|
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 |
