Windchill Service Parts: Create and Update Parts List Illustrations from Parts List Editor
Product: Windchill Service Parts
Release: 11.1 F000
Benefit
A simplified process to create and update parts list illustrations that requires minimal input or intervention from the user and avoids the use of the separate Windchill Workgroup Manager module.
Additional Details
You can now create and update illustrations directly from the Parts List Editor. The processes are supported for illustrations based on Creo Illustrate 4.2 graphics.
Use the New Illustration action and associated dialog box to create a new illustration for a parts list. You can use the dialog box to define certain attribute values for the illustration, and specify filters for the parts list content to be included in the illustration.
Use the Update Illustration action and associated dialog box to update an existing illustration in a parts list. With this action, you can update an illustration after changes to the parts list, and change the content filter to be applied for the next iteration of the illustration. As a default, the dialog box displays the filter and navigation criteria that were applied for the current version of the illustration.
You can manage content filters based on:
Configuration Specification
Options
Attributes
Service Effectivity
The Create Illustration and Update Illustration actions automate these aspects of the illustration process:
Creating the representation and GDD for the illustration
Checking the final illustration in to Windchill
Adding the illustration to the parts list
Opening the illustration in Creo Illustrate 4.2, if it is available
If you are working with Creo Illustrate 4.2, you can use either this new process or the existing create/update illustration process with Windchill Workgroup Manager. You can select the method you want to use in the Creo Illustrate options: General > Windchill > Connect to Windchill via:
Workgroup Manager
Direct connection
If you are working with any other supported graphics application, you can only use the Windchill Workgroup Manager option.
