Version: Windchill 13.0
Use Case: Non-latest iteration/revision to become the latest iteration/revision in Windchill PDMLink. Replace the latest iteration/revision with a non-latest iteration/revision Creo CAD document (prt, assy, drw).
Description:
How do I go back to a non-latest iteration/revision to become the latest iteration/revision in Windchill PDMLink.
or how do I replace the latest iteration/revision with a non-latest iteration/revision Creo CAD document (prt, assy, drw)?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You have to set the Windchill preference to allow the checkout of the non-latest iteration. By default this is not allowed and probably requires your Windchill admin to set it so you can.
It is under Create and Edit but only available at the Site level. Even the wcadmin user cannot set it for their own account.
| Allow checkout of non-latest iterations |
Once you have it in your workspace a check-in will create the iteration above your current latest iteration.
Be sure to turn it off after doing the check-in!
