Manage Baselines in Windchill ProjectLink
This section contains information on how to manage baselines for Windchill ProjectLink objects from Windchill ProjectLink.
For PTC customers who have Windchill ProjectLink with Windchill PDMLink, baselines in the project can be used for incremental export only within the project and cannot be shared with other projects.
By using baselines in Creo Packages, you can perform the following actions for Windchill ProjectLink objects:
• Browse in folder (when All is displayed)
• Access the folder information page
• Edit Baseline (to toggle to Unprotected)
• Delete baseline objects for the purpose of deleting the object from the database
• Delete a baseline
The following section contains baseline-related functionality and related caveats:
• Managed baselines are viewable from the all folders view under the project, which lists if the user is a member of the project.
• Managed baselines cannot be created in a project from the Windchill user interface.
• Managed baselines are created in a project only when Creo Packages exports CAD documents residing in the project.
• Managed baselines that are in the project cannot be copied to clipboard. There is no feedback message stating that it is not copied.
• Managed baselines cannot be pasted into any folder of the project. If this action is performed, the following error message appears:
• The Add to Baseline action is not available to add new content to the managed baseline.
• The Delete action on the information page is disabled.
• The following functionality is not disabled at the user interface. However, it is highly recommended that you avoid using any of the following on baselines, as the result could be unpredictable.
◦ Table toolbar actions in the Baseline Objects table (for baselines in the project context):
▪ Add one or more objects to the baseline (Search and Add)
▪ Collect related objects
▪ Paste valid objects from clipboard to baseline
▪ Check out to workspace
▪ Add to workspace
◦ Row-level actions in the Baseline Objects table (for baselines in the project context):
▪ Set current baseline object as a primary object.
▪ Replace this object with a different version.
◦ Information page actions for baselines created in the project context:
▪ Reassign life cycle
▪ Set State
▪ Add to workspace
