Dear Team,

I have a question related to Part & CAD Centric.
If I use 'Part Centric' when creating a WT Part, I can enable it with 'New CAD Document'. Before creating a WT Part, I can select which type I want.
But if I go to "CAD Centric", I can create an EPM Document with the WT part. but I want to select the WT part type. How can we select it, or where can we select it?

Regards,

Aj

Hi Aj,

One way to do this is to create EPM Document subtypes for each of the WTPart subtypes, you can specify a default WTPart subtype for each EPM Document in Type and Attribute management. This works, we have a couple of WTPart types driven this way on our system, but it's not ideal having to create lots of EPM Document subtypes, would love to know if there's another way.

You can also select the WTPart subtype from a dropdown in the Auto Associate menu, but this is no good if you want to pick it in the New CAD Document screen.

Hi @GrahamV 

"WTPart subtypes, you can specify a default WTPart subtype for each EPM Document in Type and Attribute management." how we specified that in multiple WT Part type.

Hi Aj, 

Unfortunately, I think you can only specify one default, so for this method to work you'd have to create an EPMDocument subtype for each WTPart subtype (so CAD Document Type A would create WTPart Type A, CAD Document Type B would create WTPart Type B, etc).

I'm sure there's other ways of doing it if you're willing to go down the customization route, e.g. you could customize the New CAD Document wizard to add a step to select the WTPart subtype, but that level of customization is a bit beyond me.
