Hi,

How do we create a new object in Windchill ? Just like how we see WTPart, WTDocument, EPMDocument etc in Type and Attribute Manager a new object like "ABC" which is sub typeable as well.

If we wish to create all together a new object in Windchill ? How to do that ? Is that possible ? If yes can you please let me know the procedure or process. I haven't seen much  in customization guide but in case if there is any sample code or input regarding the same it will be more beneficial.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Aditya Achanta

I would recommend to start by creating the example pet class - http://www.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc102_hc/index.jspx?id=WCCG_Oview_GetStartCust_CreatePetClass&action=show

I have seen companies using modelled types extensively on pre WC 10.0 releases. If you could explain the business use case, there might be a less expensive alternate

Well you were already at the starting point, the Type and Attribute Manager is where you begin, however do you mean a brand, brand new parent object Type that isn't even at the top level of that left list in Manage Types? First, I admit I don't know, but second, why would you need to? Pretty much any baseline "type" of thing that anyone would need to put in the system is in there, and you can easily Subtype anything you want, make the parent non-instantiable and there you go; a top level item that you have full control on.

There's also several subsequent steps. In total, you need:

-Type and Attribute Manager definition

-Object Initialization Rule

-Lifecycle Template

-Workflows and Team Templates if this object is to be stand-alone and not released via Change Notices

-Policy Administrator access rules

Perhaps we should go at this from the ground-level requirements. What specifically do you need this new intended object to do and how does it need to act?
