Upload and Check In Documents Outside of Windchill
* 
Set save_to_ws.upload=no in the wgmclient.ini file. This setting stops the upload when you select the Save To Workspace menu item from the Windchill menu. As a result, this prevents “Upload failed” warning messages from appearing when you upload data that already exists.
Typically, you accomplish this task by using the Import to Workspace procedure. However, you can also use the following procedure.
To upload and check in files directly from CATIA V5:
1. Open the CAD document from the disk.
2. From CATIA V5, select Windchill > Save to Workspace.
From this point on, documents are marked with the symbols (modifications that need to be uploaded), (modified locally), and (new locally).
3. Navigate to the workspace using the client and select the document that needs to be iterated with the version on the Windchill server.
4. Click Upload ().
The upload fails with a “CAD Part – <file name>. CATPart is not unique” message in the Event Management utility.
5. In the commonspace, select the documents that must be iterated with the new version and check them out to the workspace.
Ensure that all documents that need to be iterated with an updated version are highlighted to reuse the content in the local workspace. Select OK.
The symbol (new locally) disappears, because the documents in the local workspace are matched to documents on the server with the same name.
6. In the workspace, select the documents that need to be iterated with the new version and check them out.
The documents that you checked out are marked with the symbol .
7. Select the document that needs to be iterated with the new version and upload the modifications.
The documents being updated are now marked with the symbols (modifications uploaded) and (checked out by you).
8. Select the documents to be iterated with the new version and check them in.
The document is now updated with the version provided.
