Tim,
we (Sulis) created a tool that allows you to export the attributes and
types into an excel sheet and apply this to other windchill systems, so
the existing types and atts will match what is described in the excel
sheet. you can edit the excel data after export adding attributes and
types and constraints as necessary.
it also allows you to have arbitrary long value list on discrete set and
suggested values, and it can read these values from files, excel sheets,
call I*E tasks or methods on classes, so effectively populating the
values lists even from foreign systems.
We also have cases where the discrete set lists on types change as a
side effect of checking in the excel sheet defining the values 😉
