Hi Guys,

I create a one WT Part (name:test1) and again i need to create a new WT Part when i create this i want the same attributes value what i filled in test1 i want the same things in new WT part (name:test2).

Point 1: I want both the WT Parts has been linked eachother.

Point 2: If any body modified the test1 WT Part it's also updated in test2. (Selected attributes only)

 

It's possible in our Windchill.

Regards,

Aj

Hi @Amirtharaj_K 

Your requirement is not covered by OOTB system. 

You can just create customization that does what you have described.

Hi,

What is your business requirement? Many times, we quickly dive into the Technical solution level before analysing and matching the requirement to the nearest use case fulfilled by PLM.

 

Kindly share on what led to that approach? Use case will be helpful.

 

Cheers

    To get the same attributes, you can:

    1. Create test1
    2. Do a "Save As" on test1 to create test2

    There is not much linking from WTPart to WTPart OOTB that I know of. You can consider linking both WTParts to the same CAD model. With the right linking, you can update the CAD attributes, and it will update both WTParts.

    Apologize for the delay in response, @HelesicPetr @Hari_Vara @joe_morton 

    I have two different design teams.

    1, One we can call the Main team, worked on first to create a Main Model and define a few attributes like pressure, texture, and so on.

    2. And another one we can call a sub-team, they create a sub-asm based on the attributes values that the main team has described.

    Both teams have been working together, but if there are any changes or requests from the customer, the main team will change the value without informing the subteam. Because of this more time has been consumed to change the design, some prototypes have already been made and are scrapped directly.

     

    That's why I asked. One WT part has been created by the main team, and the other team has been duplicated. If anyone changes anything, it will update on both sides with notification.

     

    Regards,

    AJ

    Hi,

    There is OOTB function called "Subscribe". This will notify any change in Part attributes , and much more and notify its subscribers.

    So put your secondary team in the subscriber list of the Part of interest. 

    Please do a prototype of this and do a rough sanity test. 

    I think this will work for you.

     

    Best Regards

    Hari
