Hello

are you talking about CADDocument or Document ? I assume CAD cause you are talking about drawing ..

if yes, the link to use is epmdescribelink. And the 2 tables should show objects as you describe in your requirements. As it is the same link , which is navigated from both side ...

regards

If you are creating the relationship from a part to a document it would either be an WTPartDescribelink if you are linking to the revision or WTPartReferencelink if you are linking to the master ( floating) reference.

I few days ago, I posted a similar question, see Owner-Content relationship for WTDocument - PTC Community. For CADdocuments, you have one owner link but multiple content links possible. We would like to implement a similar concept for the WTPartDescribLink.

We have an character string with a pick list at the UI that breaks the related document into how it is related. For example owning or reportable or non-reportable reference data. We use it on both the describes and reference by links.
