SAP ME 6.0 Visual Test and Repair Local file not found

[Former Member]

Hi,

In our SAP ME 5.2 environment we have Test & Repair installed on a separate server. On that server we also have a shared directory where we are placing our GenCad files (.CAD). These files we can sucessfully view in the POD on SAP ME 5.2.

Now I am trying out SAP ME 6.0. I have done:

- Installed Product Visualization 7.2 on my client device

- In System Rule maintenance I have set the rule VTR Model Location to point to our server where our GENCAD files are stored.

i.e ServerXXX

- In material maintenance for manufactured material A I have set the drawing name to point to the shared directory and .CAD file.

i.e D:/CADfiles/productname.CAD

- Created and released a shop order for material A

- Started the "POD - Visual test and Repair"

• Entered operation

• Entered Resource

• Entered SFC for the shop order that is using the manufactured material with

• Pressed "Start" - The SFC is now active in the operation.

• Pressed "Model viewer" button

A part of the screen now says "Visual test and Repair" - 3D Model viewer. It is blinking a couple (3) of times, but nothing appears. When I press the "Model viewer" button once more. An error message says "Local file not found".

What is happening? Is GenCad files suddenly not working in Test and Repair? I have read something about purchasing ECAD file converters, is this what I need?

Problem solved after asking for eCAD converter licenses from Right Hemisphere.
