Drawings automatically associated to the WTPart (content link)

[KlausHellweger]

PDMLink 9.1 associates automatically all the drawings that are using a specific proe model to the corresponding Windchill Part.
This can create quite a lot of confusions if many drawings are related to a WTPart as it is difficult to find out which drawing is the Master-drawing (usedfor productions). Hasanybody similar issues and how do you solve it ?We are thinking of attribute or something similar to classify/identify the drawings.

Thanks for your ideas

Hi

There are different type of dependencies between a CAD doc and a WTpart. However, this is not the approach we chose.

We also have a few 2D representation for the same model (2D design intent drawing, 2D drawing for customer's approval, 2D drawing for different production site (different language or units). As the access permissions, promotion process, changement management are different we created different context for the different needs. Therefore we always know what type of drawing it is by looking at the context name.

Hope this helps

Best regards

Chris
