Intelligent Fasteners and Windchill

[cally]

Hello,

I am using Creo 2.0 M220 and would like to use AFX to put fasteners in my extrusion assembly. I am using windchill and would prefer if the fasteners would come out of windchill. Is it possible to have the fasteners come out of windchill so I'm not making duplicate fasteners every time I put a screw in.

Hi,

yes, this is possible.

You can use the instance creator from IFX to create all your screws, washers and nuts upfront and upload them to Windchill. 

If you now assemble a new fastener with IFX the fastener is taken from Windchill.
