Hi,

I want to know how to find CAD Documents linked to WTParts using different types of link using API's.

The java api is this:

WTPartHelper.service.getDescribedByDocuments(WTPart part);

You can search this web site for some previous posts on this.

Hi ,

I wanted to find the CAD document linked with owner link or calculated link. I am not able to retrieve using the above API for a WTPart

I am not sure if the "getDescribedByDocuments" will return the same results as the "Related CAD Documents" table, do you know this guys?

Hello Vipin,

Nice to see you here. You may try as below, I just write manually here not 100% sure but you can test with your scenario.

public static ArrayList<EPMDocument> getOwnerEPMDocs (WTPart part) throws WTException{
     ArrayList<EPMDocument> ownerList = new ArrayList<EPMDocument>();
     if(part == null) return null;
     QueryResult qr = WTPartHelper.service.getDescribedByDocuments(part);
     while (qr.hasMoreElements()){
          WTObject objLink = (WTObject)qr.nextElement();
          if (objLink instanceof EPMBuildRule){
               EPMBuildRule buildLink = (EPMBuildRule) obLjLink;
               if(buildLink.getBuildType()==7){
                    ownerList.add((EPMDocument)buildLink.getRoleAObject());
               }
          }
     }
}

BTW, calculate link is not Persistable link in Windchill, I don't know whether we can get it by API.
