Multi-CAD Package Associations

[RB_10499063]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: Build Associated Parts for Image/Content links.

Description:

After a "successful" ERP migration was done to build WTParts, some of our CAD was linked to multiple ERP material masters that already had owners. CREO is our future and wanting to make those links Owner. Inventor is second priority while Solidworks is third.

How can we make it so the Build Associated Part/Compare CAD to Part Structure tool works for all three cad package assemblies with a single WTPart? We thought the Image association type was the answer but PTC claims "a single CAD document cannot be associated to multiple WC parts using this type.", and we have a lot of CAD in this scenario.

Is it best practice to have a one-to-one CAD package type to WTPart? Or do we need to clean up our ERP system?
