Message

Equipment is not associated to a part.

Severity

Crucial.

Detailed Description

The part definition in the catalog for the standard equipment or in the model for the design equipment has been deleted.

Standard Equipment

  • If Synchronize has not been run, the equipment is not put in the To Do List. For this reason, a simple re-bulkload of the part (with the same name, same input parameters, and same outputs) will reconnect the part.

  • If Synchronize has been run, the equipment is in the To Do List. No reconnection is possible even if the part is re-created in the catalog.

  • Solid Edge Equipment with flavors in the Catalog: The equipment may also have its flavor deleted. After you refresh the workspace, a line and a circle appear instead of the missing graphic definition.

  • Solid Edge or VB Equipment with flavors in the Model: The correct graphic always appears.

Designed Equipment

  • This situation should not happen. We recommend that you contact customer support. You can find support information on our web site at Hexagon PPM Support.

Possible Causes

  • The part in the catalog has been deleted by the Bulkload utility.

  • The error may be the result of unsupported catalog manipulations.

  • The error may be the result of an improper backup and restore procedure.

Possible Impacts

  • The Definition tab of the property pages will be absent.

  • Some commands may work incompletely.

  • Equipment reports may be erroneous or inaccurate (if they include part attributes).

  • Filters or style rules behavior may be unexpected (if they filter on part attributes).

  • If the equipment has been copied to the catalog, the impact is unknown.

What You Should Do

If the problem is local to one or a few equipment:

  1. Open the model.

  2. Delete the equipment.

  3. Delete any macro (created by the Copy to Catalog command) using this equipment (it may be difficult to find because it is not the same equipment, but another occurrence of the same part).

  4. Save the session.

  5. Refresh all session files having a workspace including the equipment.

If the problem is widespread on all equipment:

  1. Restore your most recent backup using the Project Management task.

  2. Refresh your session files.
