Version: Windchill 12.0
Use Case: We use NX and Windchill... so yes, a bit of a long shot but relevant to Windchill references functionality 🙂 I'm working on rolling out several features and one of interest here has to do with drawing notes. Specifically, I'm interested in Material call out drawing notes. There's an article in the Siemens support pages on how to create and store standard drafting notes in the Reuse library that can dragged and dropped onto a drawing. These notes are saved as NX .prt files and can be associated to a WTPart - in my case a Material part subtype I intend to use downstream in the mBOM. However, the note itself when added to NX is not a part part but instead a drafting feature so once added there's no association between it and the model it's added to.
Description:
This Siemens article goes over how to create standard drafting notes and save them in the Reuse library within NX.
I went through these steps from PTCs documentation on setting up a Reuse Library within Windchill that shows up in the NX Reuse Library native windows.
That all works.
Note part I created is in fact a .prt (as expected) and I associated it to the appropriate Material subtype of WTPart.
So now the issue is that when I add the note, it adds the text to my NX drawing but if I'm not the one adding it, I have no way of knowing which note was added because there is no relationship created between the .prt saved as a note and the .prt that the note is added to.
Is there a way to make this happen? Configurable links perhaps?
