Hi All,
I ran into an interesting issue today. We have been successfully setting and clearing watermarks on a drawing as it transitions through a workflow. Until today :-(
For example, we have a property named watermark in our drawing templates (set to Not for Production). When we transition to Pending Approval we have several actions:
- set revision variable
- clear watermark (for drawings using set variable)
- export XML (for parts/assemblies)
- run Task to create PDF
The PDF's were created on each users machine.
All worked well until we moved the PDF generation task to a dedicated machine.
Now the watermark is not being cleared until after the PDF is generated? Anyone else experiencing this type of problem?
SW 2012 SP4 / EPDM 2012 SP4
Thanks,
Joy
Hi Joy,
Thanks for bringing this to up. Some questions that come to mind for me would be: Could this be related to the inability to order actions in specific order (introduced in a previous version) so perhaps the task is running first? Or would you say that the PDF Machine is simply not getting the updates to its local files but is occurring after the variable change?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Peer
