Action "Open in CAD application" when using RMB menu in Windchill should be available from multiple locations

[sderoose]

When using the embedded browser or using the workgroup manager for other CAD applications, you can open a CAD part directly in session, by using the RMB menu starting from the folders for example. Or you can go to the details of the CAD object, and select actions - open in - Creo (direct)

Unfortunately this is not possible when you're looking at an assembly structure and want to open a subassembly or a component (this was possible in Windchill 9.1 , wo why not in WT 10.x). Neither starting from a wtpart, using the related objects.

It's should be usefull if you could use the RMB menu action "open in" starting from the structure, related objects, where used, ....

best regards,
Stijn

Hello @sderoose .

We have taken an incremental step towards this idea by adding Open in CAD tool to the CAD Document Structure UI from the Workspace's Information Page in Windchill 12.1.2.

A similar action is also available for 3rd party WGMs.

Thanks

Jennifer

Finally 😀 that looks promising. Thanks @JenniferPierron for the comment. Could you please also change the state? Thx

Hello.  
In Windchill 13.0.0.0, you can now also Open in CAD from the Commonspace Information Page's Structure Tab.   This action is applicable to all CAD tools, but you can find images/videos for Creo below.
