Controlling the Display of Internal Creo Parametric Relationships
In certain reports accessed through the CAD document information page, Windchill displays a column labeled Dependency Type or Reference Type. This column displays the type of link between the table item and the CAD document reported on, based on the internal relationship of their respective Creo Parametric models.
The Table Display mechanism allows users to filter out display of unwanted objects. In addition, your site may prefer to remove the display of certain internal Creo Parametric relationships in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire pages. For example, when viewing the References of an assembly drawing you can set a site-wide property in <Windchill>/codebase/wt.properties to display only the associated assembly, the Drawing Model (default behavior is to display all dependency or reference types).
To restrict the view of assembly drawing references to the assembly itself, set com.ptc.windchill.cadx.caddoc.excludeDependencyTypes=<value> to -1. Additional dependencies can be removed from display by adding other, comma-separated values as described in the following table:
Value
Dependency Type
Description
-2
Internal Creo Parametric Instance
Internal Creo Parametric Instance
-1
Default
Dependencies created by Creo Parametric that are not visible to the user through the reference viewer. (For example, displaying a dimension of a component of an assembly that is a model on a drawing.)
0
Default
Any dependency that does not fall into one of the more specifically defined categories
1
Declared_Layout
From layout to the model that declared it
2
Membership
From an assembly to an assembled model
4
Drawing_Model
From a drawing to any model that is its drawing model or a report
8
Relation_Reference
From an object to a related object
16
Drawing_Format
From drawing to its format
128
Merge_Part
From a merge feature on a target model to its source model
1024
Drawing_Overlay
From drawing to overlay drawing
8192
PDT_UDF
From a User-Defined Feature (UDF) placed in a model to its source UDF Model
262144
UDF_Model
From a UDF stored externally to source model for the UDF. This dependency is not applicable to third party CAD
1048576
Markup_Drawing
From a Markup to the Drawing that it overlays
2097152
Interchange_Dependency
From an Assembly to an Interchange Group. An Interchange Group is a Pro/E collection of models that serve as functional replacements or assembly simplification replacements for a specific model.
4194304
Substitute_Dependency
From an assembly that has a simplified representation to the model used to substitute another member of the assembly
268435456
Concept_Model
From an assembly to a skeleton part
2048
Relation_Dependency
From an assembly to a component that contained a feature that was used for a pattern reference
4096
General Dependency
A type for uncategorized dependencies, such as from a manufacturing model to manufacturing tool path file.
16384
PDM_Sub_Form
Legacy dependency created using Pro/PDM and Pro/Intralink from a submission form to the model in the submission form
