Hello! I have one big problem.
I use CREO and Windchill.
When I create a new object in CREO (assembly/drawing/part) I give it a name and number. After check in, I see these parameters on the Windchill server. But if I change CAD number and name in CREO again and after this make check in - the old number and old name is still in the Windchill, but the version is being updated.

As a result, I have to rename objects in the Windchill, in browser every time

Please help)

 

Сreo 5.0.4.0, Windchill 10

Where are you doing your initial rename, in Creo or in your Windchill workspace, it makes a difference in how Windchill handles the renamed objects.

The best way to do renames is from a browser in Windchill commonspace, then sync your workspace to get the changed names.

Hi,

As Ben says, its always do identity related stuff from Windchill(like Rename or Renumber).

If I recall correctly ,in the Creo Config Options, There is a way to prevent Rename or Renumber in CAD (ignore the first version/NEW). I think its called "let_proe_rename_pdm_ objects". Good Practice is to set it to "NO"., If you make this, system will force you to Rename /Renumber from Windchill (as per best Practices like Ben said).

Hope this helps!

Best Regards

Hari

    @BenLoosli @Hari_Vara 

    Thank you very much for your answers!

     

    Let me describe it in more detail.

    So, I create a new object in CREO. I give it a name and number. After check in, I see these parameters on the Windchill server:

    1_w.PNG

    In Windchill I see this attributes:

    2_w.png

    Version 0.0, Number in Proe: TEST_PRT001, Number: TEST_PRT001

     

    After that, I open this model in Creo and change the "NUMBER" in the model parameters. I enter a new value, for example TEST_PRT001_UPDATE

    After that I make "check in". And I see this on the server:

    3_w.png

    The "Number" in the attributes was not updated. Is it possible to make it automatically updated after "check in" ?

    For now, in such situations, I have to change the number manually in Windchill.

    Hi @Hozaibergen 

    What attribute do you change in the ProE exactly? 

    It seams that it is just model parameter and it is not system parameter number, file name, or common name.
