Auto-Associate and Building Part Structures from CAD works well when the models represent something that would have a BOM Unit of Measure of "EA" (each). Please provide better support for non each quantities and Units of Measure. Use cases include both Bulk Items and Geometry models. The Bulk Template does seem to communicate BOM_REPORT_QUANTITY and Unit into the Uses of a WTPart Structure, but the Units of the CAD are limited (tried using feet from Creo and ended up with meters in Windchill).
Also need to be able to propagate non each Units and non unit Quantities for items such as Cable Trays, Tubing, Unistrut, Structural Sections etc.. It's a bit weighty to have to have a unit item of material length. The Creo side of this is taken care of by flexible parts but there's now way (if there is please point me in the right direction) to get this information to propagate into the WTPart Structure.
This would allow full leveraging of the CAD as Owner Association and ensure accuracy and integrity in the relationship between the CAD model and PDM BOM.
