WTPart visualization disappears after check-out and doesn't regenerate after check-in

WTPart visualization disappears after check-out and doesn't regenerate after check-in

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3

Hello,

We are experiencing an issue with WTPart visualizations in our Windchill environment. The problem occurs in the following sequence:
-When a user checks out a WTPart, the visualization immediately disappears (which may be normal behavior)
-The user then makes changes to classification or other attributes (not CAD geometry)
-After checking the WTPart back in, the visualization is not regenerated

Could you please advise on the correct configuration needed to ensure WTPart visualizations are properly regenerated after check-in when only attribute changes are made?
Thank you

Hi @ZANET 

It is general behavior if the copy forward representation is disabled. 

Here is an article that describes how to enable copy forward representation just for the WTPart

CS61223 - Viewables are not copied forward upon iteration in Windchill PDMLink

Set following wvs.properties by xconfmanager 

publish.copyrepresentationsforward.restrict=true
publish.copyrepresentationsforward.part.restrict=false

 

Also check a Help Windchill Help - Copy Forward Properties

What kind of associations is it, between the CAD and WTPart, Owner, Image, Content, Calculated?

Thank you @HelesicPetr,

my conf publish.copyrepresentationsforward.restrict was false.
I've set these two others, and it works fine.
