Unlock quickly a full family table (instances + generic)

Unlock quickly a full family table (instances + generic)


For every users that use the function lock / unlock in your workspace or if you have the Windchill preference "Automatically Lock All Objects Added To Workspace" to Yes

When you need to modify a family table locally (you don't want to check out or revise) you have to unlock the generic and all instances.

Unfortunately, today there is no way to unlock quickly the generic and all instances, you have to unlock all one by one

So if you have 100 instances it is very long


it would be very nice to have a way to unlock quickly the full family table, several solutions would be interesting:

- When you select the generic or an instance from the workspace and click "Unlock" you could have a window (like check in / revise...) to add all instances and drawings

- When you go to the family table tab of a family table component from the workspace, you could select the full family table and click action --> unlock

- When you want to save localy the family table from Creo, in the conflicts windows we could have a way to unlock all instances

Hi all,

 

All CREO users request this since a while into CREO and Workspace !

 

Or at least create in Workspace something to identify a full family table (generic + instances). It's currently not possible to identify it based on attributes. --> just for example : instead of having YES or NO in "Generic" attribute, we could have the number of the generic.

 

Have a nice day
