Right Mouse Button PDM actions for assembly dependents available in Authoring application
At Windchill 11.0 F000, there is a mechanism to deliver information into the CAD tool when the PDM status of data that is open in a CAD session has been changed by others — most importantly, when the status is checked out by another user. This enhancement “pushes” the information to users, eliminating the need to ask for the information. Once notified, users can perform the Update PDM Action on the selected object. This feature is available from the Right-click Actions Menu.
• Windchill 11.1 F000 onwards, the RMB Windchill PDM actions are now available for Top level assembly open in session.

Windchill 11.0 F000 and its MOR’s and CPS’s had the RMB Windchill PDM actions available for the Top level assembly children only (sub-assemblies as well as individual child parts of the top level assembly) and not for the Top level assembly.
