I'm having few files whose extensions are .art, .ipc & .drl files. I would like to know is it possible to upload these files in to windchill.

If possible is there any special steps needed to do that?

At the very least, you can store these file types as WTDocuments in Windchill.

I assume you're thinking more along the lines of using the Workgroup manager, and that these extensions are associated with parametric modelling software of some type.  What is the authoring application for these extensions that you are using or are intending to use them with?

Hi Bob,

Apologies for the late reply. I was able to get those files inside windchill, once it is compressed and zipped.

Those are the extensions of files created by pcb routing softwares. I'm not sure what's the exact name of this software.

Was there a particular reason you compressed the file before upload?  WTDocuments should be able to be uploaded as long as your size is supported by your web browser.

If you are looking to maintain relationships with other PCB routing files, you would need to deploy the use of ECAD workgroup manager to maintain that functionality.  Let me know if you can find out what the authoring application(s) for the files are, and we could further discuss implementation of ECAD workgroup manager in a separate thread, if you are interested.
