Question

Export all PDF Representations for entire WTPart Structure (assembly and children)

Is there any way to export all PDF Representations (created by a CAD Worker) for an entire WTPart assembly? We build our BOMs in Windchill, and then need an easy way of compiling all of the related PDFs for that BOM.

 

Is this an option in Windchill?

Is there an add-on/utility that can do it?

 

Thank you!

The PTC Navigate add on can do this.  I believe Wincom Consulting also has a solution for this.

Have you looked into Packages?

No, I haven't. I'm not sure what Packages you are referring to. Can you point me to more info?

 

Thanks.

They're avaiable in 10.2 as well (not sure when they first became available).  But it essentially allows you to use a Collector to pull a bunch of objects together and create a Package (a zip file with an HTML index file) that presents itself like a mini Windchill environment for the sole purpose of displaying information about the collected objects.
