Shape indexing or Similar Model check during ModelCHECK...

[ptc-3165095]

I looked into shape indexing back on WF1 and intralink 3.3. We are currently on WF4 and PDMlink 9.1 now. Is there anyone out there using this tool to find similar parts? This sounds like a great tool if PTC can get it working. Thanks, Wayne

I have already configured Windchill 9.1 and Wildfire 4.0 to look for similar parts. Works fine. What exactly is your question ? I found everything in the ModelCHECK help files.

I have gotten it working. Thanks for asking what my problem was. I was missing just one step in the set. We have decided to stay with the current solution we have.

Hello Tom, Wayne,

The help advises setting instance based attributes on the cad document type in Windchill.  Should I be hesitant about doing this on a production system?  Should I test on a dev system first or is this a benign setting change?

It shouldn't be a big deal.  The only question is whether you want to delete them if you end up not needing them.

Consider this issue closed.
