Anyone know a method? I can load parts in. I can revise from workspace ok. Can't seem to find a way to mass create new view versions on a set of parts.

Antonio,

If you are using 10.2 F000 or higher you can do it via Import from Excel. I am attaching an example – notice the Predecessor Revision and Predecessor View columns on the Parts-Mfg-View tab

While we are sharing, this is how you add security labels user the same import method.

In case if someone using MPMLink for BOM transformation then spreadsheet capability will not create equivalent link between upstream and downstream BOM I think.

Thanks Jeff and all, I wrote a client program this morning to create them from a list of part numbers:
//load data file
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(args[0])));

String number;
boolean readNumber=false;
while((number = br.readLine()) != null)
{
prj.logger.debug("Read number:" + number);
try {
WTPart part=prj.getPart(number);
if (part == null) {
} else {
WTPart engView=(WTPart)ViewHelper.service.newBranchForView(part, "Engineering");
PersistenceHelper.manager.save(engView);
}
}
catch (WTException e)
{
prj.logger.error("Error creating new view for" + number, e);
}
}

Shakil,

There is no equivalence link between the view version itself even with MPMLink, that is between Part 123 Rev A Design and Part 123 Rev B Mfg. Its when you do a transformation that an equivalence link is used.
