Help!
We are using windchill 10.1 with Solidworks 2012. Our vendor did a mass upload and we are now having to resolve all assemblies to re-attach the links.
The problems i am having are with new assemblies and existing components in the common space.
Windchill asks for certain components to be checked out in order to check in the assembly.
I am not sure why it is doing this, is there a SW setting or a windchill setting which needs to be changed so this stops.
Items i have found which will make this happen.
1) Older revision SW file
2) Virtual components - These need to be saved as a real component
3) Files built with external references- Each component needs to stand on its own.
The qustion is why does Windchill need parts checked out that have not changed or fall into the above criteria.
Any help is appreciated
