Is there a trick to add the manikin models to a library in Windchill? I down loaded the files from PTC and uncompressed them. When I open one of the manikin "assemblies"and save it to my workspace the upload fails. the event manage says the cad part(s) is not unique. Using Windchill 10.2 M020. Any suggestions from others using Windchill to manage the manikin models would be great. I did find CS50849 which shows a best practice with manikin and Windchill which seems a long way to check in the manikin files.
TIA
Hi Joe,
I am not sure what is Manikin. But based on your explanation, you are getting Object Uniqueness exeption. I think, there are some part and assembly files with same name and windchill preference is set to remove extension while upload might be set to true. This preference might be preventing you to check-in your files as windchill doesn't allow you to create EPMDocument with same number.
Please check "Upload Drop Number File Extension" preference might set to Yes. You can try your stuff by setting this prefernce to No.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does " I highly recommend following CS50849" mean??

It means PTC technical support has already published an article on this, article number CS50849, and it would be best to follow it. Of course that doesn't help you any if you don't have maintenance....
Let me know if you don't have maintenance and I will try to summarize it for you.
