Creating a Baseline
A baseline is essentially a snapshot of a document object at a specific point in time. The PTC Server connection enables you to create a baseline for either a new object you are adding to the PTC Server or an existing object you are checking in. The baseline will include the object and any dependent objects. Your system administrator must enable the creation of baselines in the siteprefs.xml configuration file before you can perform this operation. You cannot create a baseline for objects stored in Windchill ProjectLink.
You can create a baseline in the following ways.
1. Follow these steps to create a baseline for a new PTC Server object:

e. If necessary, enter the name and folder for the new baseline.
f. Click OK to close the dialog box.
