Creo Parametric to Windchill Attribute Mapping on CAD Document Uses Link fails

[FS_9776388]

Windchill Version: 12.0.2.7

Creo Parametric Version: 9.0.2.0

I am trying to map a Creo Attribute to Windchill's CAD Document Uses Link. I've followed these steps:

1. Create Reusable Attribute 
   
2. I've added the attribute to the CAD Document Uses Link
   
3. In Creo I created an assembly with a part. I added the TEILENUMMER attribute to the part and made sure to designate the variable to Windchill.
4. I checked in the Assembly and the Part.

After these steps I exptected to see the the defined value (0000010028) in the Structure tab on the assembly on the TEILENUMMER attribute. However, it is empty.

What did I do wrong / missed?

I think your issue is that in Creo you are looking at the "Part" parameters instead of the "Component" (or instance-level) parameters.

To my understanding, the "Uses" link is based on the component instance of the component.

"Part Parameters" are shared across all instances of a model, where as "Component Parameters" can be unique per individual instance of a model.

^ My screenshot here doesn't show it, but the "Designate" checkbox will need to be checked here just like it would for Part-level parameters.

You can show the "component parameter" in the model tree using "Feat Params" 

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

That's it! I wasn't aware of the Component Parameters section - until you showed it to me. Thank you very much!
