Unrecognized File Format in Workflow State

Kevin Stickels Jan 31, 2013 12:36 PM

Using ePDM workflows for ECO processing. All CAD files process through the workflow up to the point of release. At that point, if it is a SW file, it clears the transition to "Released" state. However, if it is a Pro-E file (or just non-SW) it fails the transition declaring, "...file format is not recognized..." We have the Pro-E ePDM Connector installed. My first thought is that at this state, the SW files are automatically up-revved and the approval fields are populated. Can this issue be due to the fact that the files for Pro-E do not have variable mapping embedded? Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

See S-040365 for some possible causes and troubleshooting ideas.

I had the same problem.
I was able to narrow it down to the "Revision" variable.
You probably have an "Increment Revision" in your workflow.

You need to remove all reference for the pro/e "DRW" in the custom properties of the "Revision" variable.

The problem only showed up when we upgraded to Windows 7/64bit. Windows XP/32 works fine.
