Solid Edge derived part (Part Copy of a Part Copy) → empty 3D viewable, conversion task "Succeeded"
Hi all, We're seeing an empty 3D viewable for some Solid Edge parts, and we'd like to know whether anyone has hit the same thing. Environment - Aras Innovator 20 - Aras 3D Visualization , Monolithic + Dynamic Viewer (no Streaming) - Solid Edge 2025 - Conversion rule: "Aras 3D CAD to PDF Conversion", file type "Solid Edge Part" Scenario A 2-level chain of derived parts, built with Solid Edge Part Copy: PART_C.par (Part Copy of PART_B) → viewable EMPTY └─ PART_B.par (Part Copy of PART_A) → viewable OK └─ PART_A.par (base part) → viewable OK Is it a known limitation or issue that a part with CAD Structure children is converted as a dynamic-assembly root and loses its own body, specifically with 2+ levels below it? Is this specific to Solid Edge Part Copy, or have you seen it with other derived-part mechanisms (SolidWorks derived parts, Inventor derived components, NX WAVE)? Thanks, Marco.
Aras Builders! The Virtual Tech Summit is Just Around the Corner
Want to see some real-world challenges developers have solved with the Aras platform and learn how they did it? Want to connect with other Aras Community members in an open forum? Want to do it all for free? Join us for the virtual Aras Tech Summit live on September 19 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM US EDT. What's a Tech Summit? The Tech Summit is a small, 1-day pre-conference session we host at our onsite Aras Community Event (ACE) in the US and some of our Aras Connect events in Europe. The format is simple: In the morning, Builders—developers and other hands-on folks who create solutions on the platform—gather for "show & tell" to showcase their projects and get inspired by others' cool ideas. Then, participants regroup after lunch for open forum discussions, where everyone can ask and answer questions or exchange ideas on various technical topics. It's a beloved tradition that Aras Labs’ AJ Sebastian summed up well in his post-ACE blog this year. Why (virtually) mess with a good thing? While we love our in-person events and plan to continue to host them, two factors are behind our decision to try a virtual format for this event: frequency and inclusivity. Optimize frequency We often hear feedback that attendees would like to engage with the technical community more frequently. Supplementing the onsite events with an online offering means we can help folks connect between our conferences. Convenience and accessibility Onsite events pose logistical constraints (like travel restrictions) and exclude potential participants who can't secure the budget or time to travel to our in-person events. Now, you can attend from anywhere, with a shorter time commitment to expand the reach and increase networking opportunities. Access Expert Knowledge Gain direct access to industry leaders, innovators, and technical experts who might not otherwise be available at in-person events. Virtual summits provide opportunities to hear from top-tier speakers without geographical limitations. Virtual Tech Summit Highlights Here are some highlights attendees can look forward to: Get the inside scoop The new Aras SVP of Product Management, Igal Kaptsan, will introduce himself to the community and share key insights into his product philosophy. We'll also share a quick update on the Build with Aras initiative our CEO, Roque Martin, announced at ACE US in March. Learn how they built it We have great presentations lined up that demonstrate not only a solution built on the Aras platform but also how and why it was built. Builders from Aras and the Aras Community will outline a business problem, discuss how they built the solution, and show the result. These speakers will touch on various PLM and technical topics, including web services, low-code modeling, mobile-friendly applications, serialized part manufacturing, and BOM to CAD management. Learn what's coming up for the Aras Community We'll have a quick update on upcoming events for the Aras Community. Be ready to mark your calendars with the next online and in-person events! Connect with fellow Builders We'll wrap up the virtual event with an open forum discussion for all participants. This segment is an excellent opportunity to ask other community members how they've solved a similar problem, exchange ideas, or ask follow-up questions of the day's presenters. Don’t miss this opportunity! If the virtual Tech Summit sounds like your kind of event, be sure to sign up and save the date: September 19 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, US EDT.

Add Documents To BOM Structure
Like the title says. I need the PDF version of all CAD documents to be shown in BOM and BOM Structure. Also, these have to be downloadable, if I can add a "Download All' button that would be cherry on top! I saw a post there similar to this. Do I need to edit the SQL query for this? Add joins to bring in the CAD documents? Which sql query would need to be edited? and is the "Download All" button implemented. If someone can give me the detailed steps to accomplish this that would be awesome. Thanks!
Change CAD Structure to Float
Good day. Currently we do not have a working CAD connector due to our network infrastructure. I want to bring all of the CAD files into Aras so they are all in a single location and create a relational data structure. I noticed that the CAD files added to the CAD Structure act like they are Fixed, but the related_id of CAD Structure is set to float. How can I change this? I am not seeing anything that is causing this. Thank you for your help.Add, Export & Import CAD Documents with attachments
Hello, In Aras Innovator 12, I'm trying to experiment with exporting of parts, which are having a CAD Document attached to them (which of course, has a file attached to it). I added the Part, CAD Document, File, CADFiles and Part CAD to the package and did the export process, yet, at the import process I'm receiving the message: [File Item cannot be added.]. I also tried to copy/paste the files from the original Vault to the destination Vault, but got the same message. I tried to move these files with backup operation and it was successful, but as I have to move only a few files, it would be better, if I can solve this with the export/import tool. Thank you! Chris
Get CAD file with REST API
Hi, I try to read my CAD file with REST API like localhost/.../CAD , it return like below. { "@odata.context": "">localhost/.../$metadata, "value": [ { "authoring_tool": "SolidWorks", "classification": "Mechanical/Part", "created_on": "2018-06-13T02:45:26", "description": "First CAD Docment", "generation": "1", "has_change_pending": "0", "id": "1260956E892E4879B93D6F64F8B683CC", "is_current": "1", "is_released": "0", "is_standard": "0", "is_template": "0", "keyed_name": "CAD01", "major_rev": "A", "modified_on": "2018-06-13T02:45:26", "name": "CAD01", "new_version": "1", "not_lockable": "0", "state": "Preliminary", "item_number": "CAD01" } ] } But i can't able to fetch the CAD file. How can i resolve this issue? Thanks & Regards, Sathishkumar C.
