Creo Elements/Direct Modeling: Delay Windchill Autonumbering of Objects
Product: Windchill Workgroup Manager for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling
Release: 11.0 F000
Benefit
You can set a preference to assign Windchill numbers to Creo Elements/Direct Modeling objects only when you save the objects and not when you create the objects.
Additional Details
This ensures that Windchill numbers are not assigned to transient objects that are created in a Modeling session but are not saved. Delaying Windchill autonumbering also improves performance in operations, such as Sheet Metal, that create a large number of transient objects. It prevents the need to contact the Windchill server to assign each transient object with a Windchill number.
