Hi,

to verify, "Utilities - Publish and Thumbnail Control" only works for CAD, you cannot prohibit publishing of WTDocuments with that? Only way to go is customizations?

Is that so also in more recent Windchill versions? I'm looking at 11.1 M020.

Yep looks like  it is only for CAD docs. Yes, customization would be the way to go. What are you looking to prohibit?

Ok, it would've been too convenient anyway  😁

 

I'm weighing alternatives either prohibit

- all WTDocuments regardless of type having certain IBA attribute value (which does not exist yet)

- if possible, maybe also all that have .xlsx -file as Primary Content as Excels are always a mess with page settings etc.

 

Oh, running Creo View Adapters for Office to 'automate' publishing to pdf, but all don't fit in the same basket, that's why the need to just exclude the problematic ones. Which would not solve it perfectly, but can't have it all.

I believe you can choose to configure based on file extension so if there is a problem with .xls, you can ignore those. I still have trouble with Visio, its not working perfectly.
