Load behavior of obsolete items into the workspace - Creo Elements Direct Modeling

Hi @ptc-3107806 

Thank you for your question! 

I’d like to recommend to bring more details and context to your initial inquiry. For example:

• Are there any specific error messages or indications when obsolete items are not shown in the Engineering context?
• What are the key differences in configuration between the Standard context (where obsolete items are visible) and the Engineering context?

Please add screenshot(s) to better understand what you are trying to do in your process.

Thank you for your participation and please let me know if you need further assistance! 

Best regards,

This sounds like a question for your Windchill administrator. "ACLs" control what actions the user can do with data in various states. It sounds like some actions are not allowed for Obsolete files, like maybe download.
