CAD Data Management: Configure Auto Associate to Automatically Find Matching Windchill Parts
Product: Windchill PDMLink
Release: 11.0 F000
Benefit
You can now configure the Auto Associate action to automatically find matching Windchill parts using the CAD document’s base number.
Additional Details
Two new server-side preferences control this behavior:
• Operation > General > Base Number Regular Expression
• Operation > Auto Associate > Auto Associate Find and Create Part Using Base Number
If no matching parts are found, a new part is created (if allowed). If the Base Number Regular Expression is invalid, an error is presented.
