How to Enable WVS Publishing on WTPart

[smorla]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.0

Enable WVS Publishing on WTPart:

How to publish WTPart and its Attributes data to PDF?

[ScottMorris]

Does the wt.part in question have any content files associated with it, like CAD or DOC? 

[smorla]

Yes, WTPart has word Document and a Thumbnail image associated. We need to publish to pdf with WTPart Attribute information along with Thumbnail image on pdf page.

Note: WTPart having lot of attribute required information. (no CAD/Part association in this case) only to extract Part information to PDF.

Couple of ideas come to mind

• With Windchill Desktop Integration in Office, you could map these attributes into the Word document/template to have them published with the document
• PTC has a Coversheet option for document publishing in Windchill, but it's a bit involved to setup
• There is a Windchill Extension for Coversheets too, but would be an additional cost to implement
