As indicated by Shirish in another reply, IBA stands for Instance Based Attribute.

Since Windchill 10.0, and the addition of other options for attributes, they are called Global attributes, see Help Center here.

The Help Center is also a good starting point to gather more information on such Attributes and how to create them, here for Windchill 12.1

The article CS357203 collects different resources on Types and Attributes and could be an interesting next step.

Hi Joseph Francis‌,

IBA stands for Instance Based Attributes. As its name indicates, they are Instance based.

By mean of Instance based - they are defined on particular object type (WTPart, WTDocument, etc). For example if you look at Name, Number, they are available for all object types. We call them as Modelled objects.

Instead, IBA can be defined on either WTPart, WTDocument, etc.. they are specific for those types. Additionally, you can also define IBA for soft types too. It means you can define attribute say IBA_1 specific to soft type to softtype_1.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,

Shirish
