Create Cad Document

Hello ALL, Long time, no chat.

I have ran into a situation, where a ptc training video, along with ptc support says there should be a "Create CAD Document" checkbox displayed on the New Wtpart page.

But in my current contract environment, it does not show.

Only 1 real ptc search page shows that you cant change a preference to hide the check box, but you can change the PartAttributes jsp page & either set change the true to false or vice versa.

Of remark/remove whole block on checkbox.

Has anybody ran into this. It showed to have been offered 1st in 10.0 & all version after.

PTC said there might be a customization on our installs, but the 3rd party services firm, didnt do much customizations & I dont think they would adjust a jsp to remove functionality without the windchill agreeing to it.

So can people look & respond on whether it shows for you.

Or has anybody ran into this & found the resolution. I am new here, so I dont have access to the box to view the jsp....yet.

Basically they want to create structures from the wtpart side & only the fly, have one, some be able to create an empty epmdoc cad (start part), while creating children of a wtpart structure. Some with cad, some with wtdoc, etc. Some blank for bulk items.

There doesnt seem to be an option on create a wtdoc (same as cad), but I might try to write something, where it uses a empty word doc, pdf (other wtdocs).

If anybody did that such thing & has code, I (along with others) would appreciate a copy.

But the main thing is to see if everybody else can see the "Create CAD Document" check box on the wtpart creation page.

PTC says its ootb, but who knows. they are still on the call, checking for a reason, but I assume they will say there is likely a customization which hides it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
