A CAD Document "Test.prt / C.3" is associated to "test(Design) / C.3" part with an owner link and is also connected to "test(Manufacturing) / C.3" part. Now when a user iterates CAD to C.4 and checks auto associates while checkin, the design view WTPart is synchronized with the latest iteration of CAD Document, but the Manufacturing part is unsynchronized and still has C.3 CAD associated to it.
When I synchronize it through BOM transformer, manufacturing part get's synchronized with metadata, but the CAD document is still the older iteration C.3.
Question: When an engineer, checkin his CAD document, how to make sure the CAD is synchronized with design view and the manufacturing view automatically?
I do not use MPMLink but see if these settings speak to your issue:

No, these configurations are only enabling me to associate the CAD document with Upstream views. The downstream parts are still being referenced to the older iteration/revision.
Initial :
Test.prt / C.3 --> test(Design) / C.3 --> test(Manufacturing) / C.3
As-IS
Test.prt / C.4 --> test(Design) / C.4 --> test(Manufacturing) / C.3
To-Be
Test.prt / C.4 --> test(Design) / C.4 --> test(Manufacturing) / C.4
Thanks for your kind reply. I have set all the properties mentioned in the article.
This only establishes the CAD association for the first time. Auto Synchronization does not happen if there is a change in revision or iteration of the mBOM.
