Enhancement in Auto Association feature for CAD Items Related to Purchased Components
Product: Windchill Workgroup Manager for Creo Parametric, Windchill Workgroup Manager for AutoCAD
Release: 12.1.0.0
Benefit
Enables you to auto-associate model items (with image association) to purchased components without modifying the related part.
Additional Details
You can now revise a CAD document with model items without revising or modifying the released related parts associated with an image link. Starting with this release, as the AutoCAD blocks have the image association by default, you can check in the CAD drawing and auto-associate to its part without any check-in conflict. To avoid a new iteration or modification to the purchased components and to successfully check in the revised CAD drawing, ensure that the autonumbering for the CAD part is off and the server-side preferences are set as follows:
• > > >
• > > >
• > > >
With these settings coupled with the choice to auto-associate on check in, the system automatically moves the existing image association from the older AutoCAD drawing version to the newer version.
