Activate Upstream collection equivalent part for set state

Hi

This is my first post on this forum, thanks for any help!

 

For changing a part in an subassembly in an assembly I am using the set state function from "released" to "in work" and this is working well. However, for the collector I would like to collect all affected assemblies "upstream" and use set state on these as well in the same operation.

 

I have a button named "collect upstream equivalent part", but it seems locked by a setting and nothing happens when I click this button. Is the function of this button according to wanted solution? Where do I activate this button?

 

This option should only be valid for administrator and should be set under "my preferences" then logged in as admininstrator?

Hi @AN_9350055 

 

To understand why this collect button does not work from your point of view is that this works for Manufacturing WTPart which is connected to Design WTPart by Equivalence link. 

 

So generally it is a MPMLink collecting function.

 

Hope this explanation can help.

Hi, BR Arild,

 

I believe that icon is for WTParts.  These are different in the Windchill system than 3D CAD assemblies.  I assume you are not using WTParts?

Hi STEVEG

 

Thanks for your answer!

 

We use wtparts and have auto associtation during checkin. Is the function of the collect upstream under WTParts?

 

Please see the attachment. I would like to be able to collect all the parents from the part called AB80-1000M47 during set state. How can I collect these parts?

Nothing happens when clicking the upstream collection button.

 

Best Regards Arild

Unfortunately, we do not use WTParts yet so I am not the one to ask.  I know basics as we have only started getting our feet wet on the subject.

To unlock a preference you need to log into Windchill with the site administrator user, then right-click on it and finally uncheck it as shown in the image.
