Hello all,
in short: What all should be included in Windchill parts catalog?
l´m absolutly sure about:
- start parts
- formats (*.FRM)
- standardized parts (screw, washer...)
Up to now we have worked without Windchill and we have used "shared unit" W:Creo_setup as a storage place of our company standards. In generall all was driven by config.pro options.

Could you give me some tips please?
For example:
Include UDF´s into parts catalogs, because ...
My idea is:
Will stay using config.pro option. l will move UDF´s into parts catalog in future when l will dicover some reasonable reason.
What l´m afraid:
Has to be something included from first start of Windchill?
Thx for every tip or trick...
Have a nice day all.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Well at last!!!
It depends on everyone choice. There is no different between load company data from Windchill or from a company net.
TIP:
If you wanna load formats from windchill, you have to change config.pro option.
pro_format_dir wtpub://WCH_SERVER/Libraries/formats
It´s stricly recommend to have the same name of server at all workstations ---> from the reason of config.pro distribution to other workstations.
Hope it will somebody helps... ![]()
