HD92439: CUSTOM PROPERTIES IN SOLIDWORKS DERIVED CONFIGURATIONS ARE NOT UPDATED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario (tested in SmDemo):
  - Integration tools setup, mapped custom attributes,
  configuration Specific: SolidWorks Part - Part Number
  - Option Simplified configuration extension: SM*
  - Create SolidWorks part, configuration name = Default
  - Add derived configuration, configuration name =
  DefaultSMtest
  - Remove all custom properties from configuration (top-level
  + derived)
  - Save part in SmarTeam. Fill all fields on the SmarTeam
  profile card
  - Custom properties of top-level configuration are copied
  from SmarTeam. Custom properties of derived configuration are
  empty
  Remark: Option Save derived configurations has no influence
  on the result.
  This is an important defect, because the customer uses
  drawing views that reference the derived configuration
  instead of the default configuration. But the tileblock uses
  the same configuration as the drawing view, so the titleblock
  attributes are empty.
  Workaround: Create an invisible drawing view that references
  the default configuration, and link the titleblock to that
  view.
  Current Result:-Mapped custom properties in a SolidWorks
  derived configuration are not updated, if the configuration
  is a simple configuration. This is a regression since ST
  V5R16 + SW 2006.
  

Local fix
