Maybe I don't really understand Frames, but I've never found them useful. When I first looked at frames back in 9.1 here are some of the issues I found.
* In Intralink 3.x stepping back was liner each frame you applied stepped you back in time
* If you pick "Apply previous Frame" multiple times in Windchill, you're not stepping back in time. Your toggling between two frames.
* If you go to the event manager to apply frames you will notice not everything you do creates a frame.
* There is no initial frame created when you open a file from your workspace.
* The event manager shows frames from multiple days. What are your chances of successfully applying a frame from a previous day?
* Also notice that you can't tell from the event manager what object & workspace that frame relates to. You would have to look at the information on that event to tell what object it relates to.
* What happens when you mistakenly apply a frame from workspace A to workspace B????
After playing around with it when it first came out in 9.1, I said no thanks and haven't looked at it again.
Like I said, perhaps I don't understand how to use frames. I'm open to be enlightened.
If you have a good tutorial showing how you would use this in real life, please share.
