I have created EPM Doc soft types under the OOTB Windchill: EPM document \ CAD Document .
How I make the new Soft type CAD Document types available for selection in the Catia File - New menu?
That is the difference between WTDocument subtypes and EPMDocument subtypes. For CAD/EPM Documents, there is no option to select the subtype when you create it from the CAD tool. It is driven through a parameter/property, you can add a custom property to CAT file, called UPLOAD_SOFT_TYPE and set its value to the internal name of the subtype, the one you see in type and attribute manager. The name of the property is controlled with a preference.

Binesh,
Thanks for the reply.
I found what you are referring to and have yet to observe its impact.
Below I explain what I am trying to achieve.
Today there are 2 types of CAD Docs that need to be created from Catia and linked to WTParts; and more in the future,
Today: Part CAD Doc (the standard) and Deformed CAD Doc (Custom).
CAD Doc is the standard used for the WTParts,
Deformed CAD Doc is a CAD Doc that is managed as an associated Image to a WTPart that is used to document a state or type of deformation.
I want to be able to choose one of these two in the Catia: File - New menu.
I am experimenting with the EPMDefaultSoftTypes.xml but have not succeeded as of yet.
Thanks for the Help
