Our Client work has a need for development. Windchill 12.1.1.0 (12.1.1.5 release) is used.
When doing change management and new product releases in Windchill, our designers have difficulties to inspect that all necessary items have been added to the change object (ECN / resulting objects).
We can modify the WT-structure view to show "change status" column. That shows us a clear visual view to check that all necessary items (WT-parts) have been added to the change notice.
Problem is that in assemblies CAD-structure view its not possible to get "change status" to be shown. The change object (EPR, ECR, ECN) is linked to every WT-part and CAD objects when the object has been added to the change notice. And it can be seen in single part CAD-view etc, but problem is that in bigger assembly views, single CAD-part "change status" cant be seen.
The status can be seen in WT-structure view, when selecting the wanted WT-part from the assembly and under "Viewing" - "Show" - CAD documents. This opens all cad documents related to that WT-part, and then the "change status" can be seen. Still - this method is too slow and also gives unwanted material to be seen. We want to find more simple way to check bigger assemblies at once.
Our inspection process could be more efficient, if this function could be found.
Thank you for all the efforts in this matter.
