2006 issues

I am having huge issues with 2006 (I am just testing right now thank god)

I would like anyone out there having similar issues to let me know if and how they fixed it...Here is the skinny

(Converting within SW 2006)

  1. Set options to System options - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (unchecked) System options - Assemblies - Use large assembly Mode to... (unchecked) System options - Performance - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (unchecked)

  1. Open assemblies(s) in question with lightweight unchecked

  2. Take entire model and 'save all'

  1. Close SW 2006

  2. Open SW 2006

  1. Open Converted assembly using these options System options - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (checked) System options - Assemblies - Use large assembly Mode to... (checked) System options - Performance - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (checked)

  2. 2. Open assemblies in question with lightweight checked

At this point the assembly will not open, or take upwards of 45 minutes to open!!!!!!

(Converting using Conversion Wizard)

  1. Open new folder copy backup of 2005 assembly to it
  2. Open Conversion Wizard
  3. Open and convert 2005 Assembly
  4. (only error reporting
  5. Open Converted assembly using these options System options - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (checked) System options - Assemblies - Use large assembly Mode to... (checked) System options - Performance - Assemblies - Automatically load components lightweight (checked)

Same result as above, At this point the assembly will not open, or take upwards of 45 minutes to open!!!!!!

Ben,

How big is the assembly? Are there any in-context parts? Were there any errors when you ran the conversion wizard?

Well, the top level is about 1500-2000 parts. Found the offending assembly in the top level (all other subs open) the offending assembly is only 20 parts and 3 configurations I have found I can open two of the three configs so one config is the issue... On to further testing... Is there any way to change the configuration in a top level assembly of a internal part or sub assembly, before you commit to opening it (an in this case crash? make sense? I know the generic answer would be to delete the configuration in 2005 convert and yadda yadda, but there are several of my assemblies that do this so it will take too much time, I will see if I can narrow this down some more.

No

No

You could use SW Explorer to delete the config from the sub, or to change the sub config in the upper level.

Large Assembly Mode switch in tools options doesn't effect opening existing assemblies that were last saved with LAM turned on. It turns out that LAM is more of a Document Property than a System Property, even though the setting is on the System Properties page.

I would try opening the assembly with all the boxes unchecked, just as you did the conversion. I say this because the error is already there and 2005 did not always pick these errors up. My 2 cents worth :-)

Ya gave that a go and it still crashes.

Do you have pdmworks? You can choose which documents to want to open, so you can ignore that suassembly. It will ask you where it is, but you can cancel to get the main assembly open.

We do have PDM, but for this test I thought it prudent to not install it so that should I go into autopilot I wont pollute the vault with 2006 files. I do understand what you are saying though and may make a local PDM vault to test...

Ben, I had this kinda problem a few years ago. I opened the files from the bottom up... so to speak. I started opening parts in the offended sub saving and tickling ALL configs as I went up. Then opened the offended sub last. It must have cured a hosed reference to a config?. Just guessing. This would be a major pain in a big file set. Try to isolate the bitchy sub and work just it?

There is a newsgroup serial number for this situation. Try this one:

8071 8383 3279 7070

If it doesn't work try this one:

5049 5353 324F 4646

What do these numbers do? p I have a legal version, but saw your post, so I am asking out of curiosity! lol

It is a serial number that I have found for hacked or non-paid for installations.
