Can anyone explain how to use Windchill to manage (more importantly, to store) data such as drawing symbols and material files? My users are asking me to place these files in Windchill, so they have easy access to retreieve them while using Pro/E. In theory, it seems very logical, since it can manage the revision history of these files (or lock them from being inadvertently modified), plus... it acts as a common server, especially nice, since we don't have one for our group.As it is now, every user has to have a copy of these files local on their machine.
I've had no luck in trying to find info on how to use Windchill to accomplish this. I thought it would be simple. Can anyone help?
First of all, hats off to Steven G. Smith for sharing some of the secrets of Windchill with me regarding this topic. Apparently, Steven has a Windchill 9.1 Admin book out on the market. I'll have to buy a copy and suggest you all do the same.
