Potential CAD dependency and configuration issues with a non-PTC CAD integration

Hi,

We are using Windchill integrated with a non-PTC CAD application.

From time to time, we experience issues where the data checked in to Windchill does not appear to match the data in users' local workspaces.

Our assemblies are relatively small (typically 10–20 components), but they contain several geometric references between components, as well as references to assembly-level sketches.

I have downloaded some of the affected assemblies from Windchill Commonspace and identified several CAD-related issues, such as incorrectly positioned components and missing references to the sketches used for positioning.

Could these issues have an impact on the inconsistencies we are experiencing between the local workspaces and the data stored in Windchill?

In addition, I have noticed some other situations that I find unusual, such as:

• Differences between the component iterations referenced by the checked-in assembly and those included in the subsequent Promotion Request.

• Some components appearing to have been saved after their associated drawings.

Considering the dependencies and geometric relationships within our assemblies, could these situations represent a risk to data integrity or configuration consistency?

Could they also contribute to the inconsistencies between the CAD data in the local workspaces and the data managed by Windchill?

I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions, particularly from users working with Windchill integrated with non-PTC CAD applications.

Thanks in advance!
