Question

Collect all Drawings related to assembly and add to clipboard?

I have a great process for mass-printing or creating PDF’s from Creo View.  One of the key steps is collecting all the objects in Windchill and adding them to the clipboard.

 

Does anyone know a way I can select an assembly, collect all the drawings of the assembly components and add them to the clipboard?  Anywhere I can get to that has the collection rules doesn’t seem to have Copy and anywhere that has Copy doesn’t seem to have a collector.

 

Thanks in advance!

I recently have been using workspaces for this. 
 

I can then use the collector to add what I need and any of the supplemental elements used (3D models, WT parts, etc). But in my workspace I can filter, select, and copy just what is needed.

To clarify, you are looking to recurse from an assembly down to all its components and pull their drawings or is it just drawings related to selected assembly?

Great question.  I am looking to get the drawings related to all the components of the assembly including the assembly itself.  I then want to add them to the clipboard so I can easily open them in Creo View.

there are a few ways to do this off the top off the top of my head. 

  1. use the advanced picker and add the assembly to a workspace, then filter on drawings and copy to clipboard.
  2. create a baseline and use the advanced picker in a similar method. 
  3. create a package (but that's probably overkill)
