It is great to see a few more post to the ECAD WGM. Just reading through I picked up a couple good points. We are currently setup with 10.1 M40. While on 10.1 M20 I was able to generate a BOM from my ECAD design (PADS 9.4.1 DXD schematic design). We moved to the M40 test environment and I have not been able to sense. I have submitted a PTC ticket over a month ago. I have been told by tech support that they can't duplicate my problem. The case has been through a couple different tech and notes passed back and forth to R/D. We have been using the Mentor sample project, Eval_Done.
I have been able to generate a design CSV file as I find it in workspace. Have created a BOM definition from sample in Workspace. Using same BOM definition atttributes as before. It says there was a successfull upload. Have tried just a strait import of the *.csv. No luck. The view of the *.csv file when generating the BOM shows okay. I can manually build the Parent Assembly WT part, and PCB WT part and created owner and contributing image assocation. No BOM. I have tried the Auto Associate on Check which doesn't work either becase doning manually doesn't work either.
I have a sense this is some kind of configuration setting that we have set wrong. Sorry, we weren't smart enough to save the M20 preferrences stuff before setting up M40 on our test system. If there would be anyone out there that might have M40 setup and could see if they have trouble too. Again we have been using the sample project Eval_done that comes with the OTB PADS install.
