@JeffZemsky tagging Jeff if you want to weigh in from PTC perspective. This is somewhat a config mgmt discussion but also Part revision question. I've always seen Design View as having strong ties and linkages to CAD and we adopted the Manufacturing View to be that MBOM concept where things needed to vary. 99% of the time there is little difference in our instance and most of those differences can be accomplished by breaking build associations in the Design View.
Currently, there are two paths in managing the Mfg View structure, create a new view version off Design or revise the previous one if it exists. Aside from the obvious which one is more correct, are there other pros/cons to either approach?
What does it mean if the Design View is at rev A and the Mfg View is at rev C? What is the true part rev you are building? We've been operating with rev syncing where CAD, Drawings and Parts share same Rev designator by practice. I can put in controls to extend that to the Mfg View. Is that how others do it? Is the intent to let them vary and not fight it?
Sorry for the lofty questions but coming to a sort of crossroads with our install.
