Baseline in Arbortext Editor

[kjoono]

Hi,

When the document check-in to Windchill, Arbortext Editor can create 'Baseline' to Windchill.

('PromptForBaseline=on' in siteprefs.xml)

But, there is no way to use baseline in Arbortext Editor.

As I know Arbortext Editor use only latest Configuration Spec..

Why is Arbortext Editor supporting creation Baseline ?

Best Regards.

Kim, Joon O

We go back to previous versions from time to time. However, I believe you are right there is no way through the Editor Browse interface. However if you go to the web browser you can search or access the desired file, open it up, display history, select a prior version and then in action select open in Arbortext (assuming it is a SG(X)ML file and you should have it appear for viewing in editor. If you want to make changes than you would have to export to you workspace .

Maybe others have an easier way to do this.

Hi Joon,

There are multiple checks for setting a baseline in this process.  This is just one more:

This parameter is set to off by default. To enable baseline support, set the value to on. If you leave baseline support off, then whether a baseline is created for an object is determined by the PTC Server preferences Create Baseline upon Check In and Create As Stored.

If the useroverride burst configuration setting is set to off in the atidefaults.bcf system-wide burst configuration file, the baseline creation options are still available to users if PromptForBaseline is set to on. In this case, only the options for creating baselines will be available in the Check In and Save As Properties dialog boxes.

Did you have any specific concerns on this?
