Creo drawing lifecycle state in title block mismatches with Drawings state in Windchill

[Kumar_KB]

Hello Team,

Could you please help me for below issue.

Creo drawing lifecycle state in title block mismatch with Drawings state in Windchill. But it is taking related CAD part/ASM Windchill state.

Thank you

Can you give more information? Maybe an image or the parameter that it's looking for.

Hi Arnold,

The drawing lifecycle state in Windchill should be Processing (newly created drawing). However, when I create a drawing using a CAD Part whose Windchill state is Under Change, the drawing’s title block shows the same lifecycle state as the .prt instead of the drawing’s own state. How can we fix this issue?

Thanks

Hi, Kumar.

That should be intended functionality. The drawing should represent the same state as the part that it is describing. You shouldn't be releasing a part and then create a drawing which could have dimensions or notes added to it that would change the released part.

If this isn't normal to the way that your company works, you'll have to get with your Windchill management to work it out.

Hope this helps,

Arnold

By default Creo is pulling the lifecycle state from the first object (part or assembly) added to the drawing. If you want the drawing lifecycle state, add ':d' to the end of the parameter name. Example: PTC_WM_LIFECYCLE_STATE:d
