Export Scenarios
An incremental package shares only the updates of a previous package from a source PLM system with one or more target PLM system recipients.
An incremental package could be used for sharing. For example:
• A quarterly update of a collection of standard library components to different divisions within a company, or with a design or supply chain partner.
• Between companies who are closely collaborating on a new design and need to share updates with each other on a regular or ad-hoc basis.
Use incremental packages whenever possible to provide optimal productivity:
• Incremental packages typically export and import in substantially less time than a complete package.
• Because incremental packages only contain updates or additions; they are typically much smaller in size, making them easier to handle and send.
For PTC customers that have Windchill ProjectLink in a bundled server environment co-installed with Windchill PDMLink, incremental packages can be used to export objects from Windchill ProjectLink to Creo Packages.
