When I try to delete an attribute, which was previously linked to a soft type that has also been deleted, I get the following error message:
Delete "xxx" failed: "xxx" cannot be deleted because it is currently in use.
It is however not currently in use!Any ideas?
I'm using Windchill 9.1M010
You likely have created an object that has used that attribute already?
It is a string attribute and it was linked to a Document soft type.
In Reply to Dave DeMay:
If you want to delete, tell me what type it is.
There is a definition table that has two entries created in the database
table and the user interface will not allow deletion. You have to remove it
through SQL or using a tool like dbVisualizer, sql developer, or toad. Let
me know more details about the soft type definition you created and I'll
help you delete it.
BTW, as a side note. If anyone ever wanted to to say have a string attribute
that contains numbers get converted to integer or vice versa.you can convert
attribute types provide you migrate the data also to a different table. I
have done this before also.
HTH,

Thanks Dave, the SQL Statements worked with no side effects yet! I don't see any other way. I have opened a case with PTC but theydidn't respond yet...
