Anyone know how to create a date parameter which can be used to propogate
sign off dates in Pro/e files driven by release procedure in Windchill? I can
create a Date CADAttribute with Manage Global Attributes but problem is Pro/E
has NO date parameters and only strings, therefore the valid formatting is
problematic when entering in Pro/E as WC will not accept unless exactly the way
it is specified in the setup. It would be nice if you could setup a drop down
calendar to appear when selecting the date and drive this way. Just curious to
know how others are integrating WC with Pro/E to control dates for use in
drawing formats.
I've figured that one out already but wasn't a good solution. We've got 4 different dates in our formats.
In Reply to Ben Loosli:
Use a script/program in your start parts to capture the Windchill date and format it for Pro/E.
You need to shorten the Windchill date format to cut off the time stamp that comes with the parameter.
SHORT_CREATED_ON = EXTRACT(PTC_WM_CREATED_ON,1,10)
SHORT_MODIFIED_ON = EXTRACT(PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON,1,10)
