Add a method to edit PartLibrary part in Windchill Pdmlink

Add a method to edit PartLibrary part in Windchill Pdmlink

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
My company is a Manufacturing Company, I am a "Project Optimization Engineer PLM" but for you I am a Windchill Administrator and Customizer. My stakeholders are the Windchill and CAD users, many departments of the company.


2. What product and version are you currently running?
Windchill Pdmlink 12.0.2.2, Creo Parametric 7.0.6.0, Creo Elements Direct Modeling and Drafting 20.4.1.0, Creo Illustrate 8.0, Creo View 8.1.

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
I opened a case in the past, C12237071

PTC closed the case linking to the article CS201935 (not part of functionality), then I found an Idea, 475982, and I voted it. Now I see that it was archived, I have to create a new one. This one.

The request is to have a way to change some things in Windchill for PartLibrary parts.

Now users have to copy the part, to change it and to substitute it where it is used...very lost of time and resources.

4. What is the use case for your organization?
Change a material for a library part just saved in Windchill, then change the density.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
Less time lost for cad users is more business for the company.

Hello, I would like to add a link to a post of @Kotom-Eng that created the original idea (475982) in the past:

He said me that he couldn't add the comment in this idea.
