Question

Quickly open a technical drawing with the same name as a CAD model.

When a model is open, it's a great convenience to be able to open technical drawings with the same name as the model, filtered by their location within the same folder.

In function, Creo parts and assemblies do not “track” or know what drawings they are used in. Windchill does have this function but it is not much faster with respect to opening a drawing and is not used by all customers. I do not disagree this would be a nice function to have. 

There have been several posts related to this topic and several “work-arounds” to make this happen. See the following posts:

 

 

There is also feature request (Creo Idea) for this feature, but it is old and I wouldn’t expect PTC to implement it.
