pro_mp_density in windchill 9.1 and 10.1

Question

So as well all know PTC changed the pro_mp_density to a units based attribute a few creo releases ago. When this happened we renamed the old attribute and created a new one. This may or may not been the correct way to handle this. Now during our windchill 10.1 upgrade opening up old models in creo it is throwing a conflict. Which can be ignored but I would like to know how to remove this issue all together. How have other places dealt with this.

Hi Wayne,We have always designated the Pro/E system parameters PRO_MP_MASS and PRO_MP_DENSITY . When we went from Wildfire 3 to Wildfire 5 these parameters now had units but the same-named attributes in Windchill did not.To fix this we did the following (Windchill 9.1 M060) which created two new attributes in Windchill; MASS and DENSITY; and mapped them to PRO_MP_MASS and PRO_MP_DENSITY.Mike FosterATKType and Attribute ManagerFirst create a Quantity of MeasureQuantity of Measure ManagerNewName: Mass DensityUnit: lbs-mass/in**3Create new attributes with unitsAttribute Definition ManagerSelect Versioned_Attributes > New Attribute:NameData TypeQty of MeasureLogical IdentifierDisplay NameDENSITYReal Number with UnitsMass DensityDENSITYDENSITYMASSReal Number with UnitsMassMASSMASSAdd attributes to EPM Document and add mappingType ManagerEPM Document > Workgroup Manager CAD Document > Edit (button)Template (tab) > Highlight "Attribute Root" > Add Attribute > DENSITY, MASS > Units USCSAttribute Mapping (tab) > Add Mapping > Save > OK > Check in Workgroup Manager CAD DocumentAttribute(new Windchill)Mapping ContextMapping(Pro/E parameter name)DENSITYPro/ENGINEERPRO_MP_DENSITYMASSPro/ENGINEERPRO_MP_MASSPRO_MP_DENSITYPro/ENGINEERPRO_MP_DENSITYPRO_MP_MASSPro/ENGINEERPRO_MP_MASS
