Save-as carries viewable

When we do a save-as on a drawing/part it carries over the viewable with it. We want to disable this so the new drawing/part doesn't have a viewable until it is modified (checked out/in). Is this possible with a config change? I'm not finding anything concrete in the KB.

Take a look at the wvs.properties file. Specifically these properties:

"publish.copymarkupsforward"

"publish.copyrepresentationsforward"

"publish.copyforwardallrepresentationsonrevise"

"publish.copyforwardallrepresentationsoncopy"

"publish.documents.copyrepresentationsforward"

"publish.documents.copymarkupsforward"

"publish.copyforwardallrepresentationsoncontainerchange"

By the way, these are set using the xconfmanager utility. Documentation on these properties is available in the properties.html file located in <windchill root>/codebase folder.
