save drawing needs saving 3D Model

Hi all;

We are using creo parametric as our CAD program and recently we started to use 3dexperience as our PLM system to manage our data and process. In our PLM system we have implemented a process which only allows to create drawing from 3d when the 3d file is in released state and can not be modified or saved therefore.

Our problem is that creo needs to save a new 3d file when a dimension is added to drawing and it is inconsistent with process which we defined. 

I have experience with other cad tools like catia, and no need to save 3d file when creating drawing! 

Is this working within scope of original design specification of Creo? Why creo needs to save 3d file again? 

My question is that is there any config in creo to solve this issue?

Please share your experience in this regard.

 

I really appreciate your help.

Sincerely.

    Hi Stephen,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Can you explain please what is this config for?

    If we set this config to true, there is no need to save 3d file when add other features in drawing? I only mentioned dimension but what about other features when working in drawing !?

    also what is the consequences of this config?

    Sincerely.
