Hello

Content is a basic "describe" link (to Document Version - copy forward when WTpart is revised. Not copy forward when Doc is revised)

Contributing Content is the same behaviour + able to synch attributes from CAD to WTpart (set attributes to synch in a preference )

regards

In the preferences, out of the box the attributes to carry through to the WTPart is set to *. However, I had a PTC ticket that said I could remove the * from that preference (effectively making it blank) in order to remove Contributing Content from the list of options when associating. This can be done for Contributing Image too. We have made this choice just to get consistency in the association types, and also less confusing for the end users when they're associating.
