Question

Windchill packages - include published files

  • November 1, 2018

Hello all, we are starting to use Packages - primarily to start for collecting data to be provided to vendors for direct use, not for import to another Windchill system. 

Just experimenting a bit today to see if we can include files on the Content/Attachments table of CAD Documents. Don't immediately see a way to do this, so asking the community - is there a way to include attachment files in a package to which a CAD Document is added?

Note: We use Attachments extensively, partly due to publishing using publish rules that take advantage of the "additional_files" functionality.

 

thanks in advance.

    We use attachments as well as part of publishing and they regularly get added to the packages. 

    First: make sure that on the collection rules you configure that secondary content is in fact included

    Make sure you have a package selected (or create a new package) and then select "Configure"Make sure you have a package selected (or create a new package) and then select "Configure"This is on the right-hand size. As long as published content is set to all, the package will collect all secondary information.This is on the right-hand size.

    Second: when locking the package, make sure to include the file extensions you'd like to be included.

      Hi folks,

      I'm working on this functionality and can't seem to get STEP, DXF or PDF's attached, even though they are already published with our CADWorker (WC 11.0 M030, Creo 4 & Creo 6).

      Packages are created, .prt, .asm, .PVZ and .jpg's are zipped up, but none of the neutral files.

      Were there any gotchas discovered here? Maybe neutral file names, Worker configurations or??

      Any help greatly appreciated!
