We export the WTPart structure in Windchill via the Multilevel BOM Report. This provides us with an XML file which is used for various post-engineering tasks. For this reason we composed particular views of the Report to export the required attrbutes.
In some cases I witnessed incorrect input by designers that resulted in double attribute values on WTParts. The most common mistake is an assembly and a file in Creo with the exact same filename. At check-in, both documents get the same number and are therefore associated to the same WTPart. I believe some modifications of the association type (owner, contributing content, ...) is also required for this.
Our templates for both parts and assemblies have a number of designated model parameters, the same parameters apply to parts and assemblies (e.g. weight).
To avoid this situation I applied the single-value constraint to those attributes. When I create a part directly in Windchill, the contraint is considered, I cannot add multiple values to any of thoes attributes.
However, it appears to be possible to check-in the models again afterwards, en the designated parameters recreate the WTPart attribute with multiple values. Why aren't the WTPart constraints in Windchill validated during checkin ? Or can this be forced ?
