Product: Windchill Workgroup Manager for Creo Parametric

Release: 12.1.0.0

Provides you the ability to upload your modified CAD models to the server-side workspace even if a matching Windchill attribute’s visibility is defined to not support uploading this value from the CAD file.

You can now upload CAD documents (having nonfile-based attributes or having attribute visibility for an Upload set to Hidden) to Windchill without any upload errors and the Creo parameter or CAD property is ignored. However, the Check In operation fails with a non-overridable conflict that requires you to fix the CAD model to meet business rules before committing it to the Commonspace. After undesignating the conflicting Creo parameter or renaming the parameter or property in your CAD tool, you can successfully upload, check in, and modify your CAD data in Windchill.

Since this functionality allows you to upload before resolving the conflict, you can back up your work-in-progress modifications to a central repository to prevent data loss, making it easy for you to move to another machine and perform Windchill actions before checking in. Therefore, even if you are facing technical issues, you can still access your CAD data from other Windchill Workgroup Manager client.
