Here is an updated power point. For upgrades if you already have implemented this solution. You can now map your Windchill system attributes directly to ProE drawing title block template with PTC_COMMON_NAME (Windchill NAME) and docname/ProE name (ProE File Name with no extension/ Windchill Number)
Thus, there is no need for multiple attributes in Windchill which causes confusion. Most organizations use theWindchill number as the business identifier and name as the title or description. If you need multiple lines, make the title block to be a note and place PTC_COMMON_NAME as the value.
Every timeyou create a drawing, part or assembly in the ProE interface,the methodology is name=part number without extension and PTC_COMMON_NAME as title or description.
Though this is currently not supported by PTC, it will solve a ton of additional customizations, confusion and migration issues from Pro/Is, filesystems, etc.
This is a great solution if you want integrate ECAD with MCAD when the EPMDocument numbers are identical for the PCB and PCA. Like it was mentioned in the TC's for ECAD, most MCAD and ECAD designs meet up after the fact and try the numbers for the engineering document are already set in the ECN. With ECAD methodology, you have to really start changing the mind set that ProE models and assemblies are MATERIALs for BOMs of "PART" and "ASSEMBLIES". ProE models are only supporting files, documents or now 3D drawings to materials.
