Hello,

I am populating some attributes from CAD to WTPart using Parameters. I want those attributes to be populated to associated WTDocuments as well. Looking for the best solution to achieve the same, please pour your ideas.

Thanks,

HS

Alias attribute did come to the rescue, achieved my requirement by using the below mapping.

I am still investigating the proper use and impacts of using Alias attribute, but the copying of attribute does work with the above mapping.

This is certainly possible through customization.

Create a check-in listener and upon check-in push those attributes from WTPart to WTDocument.

Thank you for the response, @Ajit_Kulkarni . I am hesitant to go into customization, I am trying to implement this via configurations itself.

I am also would like to know if any such configuration is available.

In case you need customization this will help. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/getting-iba-value-from-wtpart-and-setting-wtdocument-iba-via/td-p/585885

Can you describe your use case a little more?

We have some workflows where we copy attributes from one object to another. It's not a full customization, but code written into a robot in the workflow.

Just did some searching through the Support page.. We've never used Alias Attributes, but it might be just what you're looking for:
