PTC Windchill - Additional files type
Version: Windchill 13.0
Use Case: Is there a possibility to use publish rules, and for additional type to have solidworks part and assembly attached as an attachment of Creo part and Creo assembly (EPM docs), like we do for a step file or pdf for a drawing?
Description:
We have collaboration license (for solidworks), and we can export files to .sldprt and .sldasm. But can it be used in publish rules like we are using for step files. Bellow is part of .xml file we are using for publishing step files after check-in of EPMdoc types.
<!-- PART -->
<additional-files name="part_files">
<file display-label="STEP" type="step" output-prefix="3d" output-suffix="step" default="true"/>
</additional-files>
<!-- ASSEMBLY -->
<additional-files name="assembly_files">
<file display-label="STEP" type="step" output-prefix="3d" output-suffix="stepasm" default="true"/>
</additional-files>
