Dear all,
We recently ran in to problems with people who trying to promote a drawing, the 3D model with this drawing and the Windchill part. The promotor looks at the drawing useing Productview and sees a weird status: "concept model" instead of "under review" in the drawing right-corner.
What happened is that the engineer made changes to his 3D model and checked in his 3D model without checkin out and updating his drawing. So the drawing is not looking at the latest itteration 3D model anymore but the one before that and also showing the status of this non latest itteration.
I am glad the promotor saw this error and reported this,
What can we do to prevent this situation of happening (we allready trained engineers to be aware of this situation but thats not enough) Can we make a report that searches for drawings not looking at the latest itteration 3D model?
Also I want to prevent the creation of "out of date" secondary content or stale secondary content. There are still engineers who click away the warnings at checkin-in. So I would like to force a checkin error whenever stale secondairy content is about to be checked in.
Kind regards,
Dennis Varkevisser
