Question

Hello all, 

assume you created a Variant from a Variant Specification in the Product Family via BOM Transformer and "Generate Downstream Structure"...

Based on a WT Part that is included in the generated Variant: is there an easy way to trace from that WT Part (non generic) to all Variant Specifications in the corresponding Product Family where this WT Part is part of (or even that Variant Specification from which the Variant was generated on) ?

Using windchill pdmlink 12.0.2.7

I don't know if I have correctly understood your requests, the below mapping can be used to show the related Variant spec on a the variant page as alias attribute :

roleAObject@com.ptc.wpcfg.doc.VariantSpecVariantLink~roleBObject^com.ptc.wpcfg.doc.VariantSpec

Hi @Fadel 

Good example how to use the alias attribute.

 

Unfortunately this can show you just the specification where the variant BOM has been generated. 

If the BOM contains generated sub Variant parts, they are not linked to the specification directly. 

assembly where the BOM has been generated shows the specification

sub variant does not.

    you are right , there is no link directly between the child parts and the VS .
