Package type-based properties are a new feature in the Windchill 10.0 release that allows customization properties to be assigned to Package objects by class type or subtype. These properties differ from those typically set in wt.properties, and from preferences set in the Preference Manager, in that different types of Package objects may have different settings for the same property. For example, the EnableContentControl property may be set to “false” for Package types while simultaneously being set to “true” for TechnicalDataPackage types.

Package type-based properties are intended only for site-level and organization-level customization, and can only be changed by the Windchill site administrator.
