Removing Instances from Family Tables in PDMLink.doc
This is an adaption to TPI 141775, How to Delete a Family Table Instance From Windchill. This procedure was developed to assist in removing large numbers of instances from large family tables. I have used this many times with PDMLink 9.1 and Wildfire 4. Included are SQL and batch scripts that you can use to analyze your family table usage.
Cool process, but I have a question. On step 10 of the document you create new files for the deleted family instances. From what I understand, these files will be empty?
It could be an empty part file but not just a empty text file. I used a start part. The basic idea is that its a small file since you will be generating a lot of them. They are also temporary and will be removed at the end of this procedure.
