Last year, we migrated from Intralink 3.4 to Windchill Intralink 9.1.
Amongst the Pro/E files, we had many other files that were managed in Intralink.
These include Microsoft Office files and various text/data files.
This included many *.ibl files.
For the uninitiated, IBL files are a PTC invention.
They are text files of coordinate data which can be imported into Pro/E to create daum points, curves, and surfaces.
IBL files are easy to define, and are an easy alternative to using IGES or STEP.
When our IBL files were migrated from Intralink 3.4, they came in to Windchill as CAD Documents, not Standard Documents.
I assume this was because PTC set the default to treat them this way.
However, we cannot replace the primary content as we would with a Standard Document.
We can add these IBL objects to a workspace, roll the revision, and check-out.
And we can download/export the content file.
But we see no way to introduce a replacement content file.
Using only allows importing Pro/E model/drawing files.
Therefore, the File-Open dialog will not display the IBL files, nor allow us to type in the name.
Editing attachments won't work because that is for secondary content (which is empty).
Am I missing something, or have we discoverred a bug?
