When I check in the part into Windchill, the link drawing is not collected

Hi Everyone,

 

When I check in the part into Windchill, the link drawing is not collected not only that only the part version has been changed.

 

I found one config that only I can use in the above Creo 8 version. But how we can use it in a lower version?

dm_custom_checkin_prompt set as Yes.

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Amir

Hi @Amirtharaj_K 

You need to use add to workspace function

 

If you use open in creo from common space, it does not work this way. 

 

You need to teach users to do so... Use "Add to workspace" instead of "Open in creo"

hi Amir,

By default, Windchill will require that dependencies get checked in. So if you try to check in a drawing, Windchill will automatically collect the part/assembly for check in as well if it is checked out. 

 

If you do a custom check in, you can more easily see what Creo is doing, and manually collect the drawing if needed. Make sure both are saved to the Workspace for the collection to be able to pick it up.

Select the model, then click the Drawing icon to collect related drawings:

You can change the default collection preferences. 

Go to Quick Links > My settings > Preferences

 

Find the setting under:

Operation > CheckIn Operation > Collector > Include Related Drawings

 

Changing the setting here will update your personal preferences. That's probably what you'd want to do if you want Creo to always collect the related Drawing when you check in a model.

Thank you for the replay, Mr.Joe.

First, I create a CAD model then create a drawing, then use the same method to check In - Custom Check-In, but if I select the model automatically collected drawing is hidden.

Operation > CheckIn Operation > Collector > Include Related Drawings > there I set as all. Please find the below screenshots.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Amirtharaj_K 

Try to save the drawing before check in, I guess that the dependent drawing is not seen by Windchill in your workspace.

, or start the checkin on the drawing.
