This will require UI customization. See this thread:

Hi @RS_10128209 

@SWeiler_9940261  is right.

Customization is required for your needs

 

1. Add a checkbox to the OOTB wizatd

2 Customize OOTB Wizard and add a step for WTPart creation

3. Customize a processor where you need to add a code to create WTPart or link it.

    A checkbox will do if you want the option to create a part sometimes and not others. I solved this a long time ago with a combination of softtype and a mod to the Create/edit wizard. If it was a certain type of document, I called it General Drawing, then it would automatically have a WTPart created with the same information from the WTDocument. This are hidden steps that call custom processors which key in on that special softtype.  Either way will work but you need something to do the work of creating the part.
