Question

A small suggestion: Redundant models can be clearly indicated in the drawing and support batch delet

In drawings, if the added model is not used on the drawing sheet, it will result in a constant association between the model and the drawing. It is easy to cause the relevant object page of plm system to appear when checked into the system. Redundant models need to be deleted and re-checked in. However, when there are many models, they can only be deleted one by one, which is very inconvenient. It is hoped that multiple batch deletions can be supported.

Another suggestion is to add some obvious prompts to inform users of the existence of redundant models, so that users can detect them early.

The command menu is located at:
Drawing > Layout > Drawing Model > Delete Model

There is ModelCHECK 'UNUSED_MODELS' variable to inform about not used models in the drawing

Modelcheck might be one solution. However, for the majority of Creo users, it is not a straightforward approach and it's not very humanized.

@ruhuaou 

Modelcheck is the available solution (or work-around, if you prefer) for this.

If you would like to request PTC "enhance" the software, you can post your idea and use case in the IDEAS area, I would vote for it
