About Disabling the Autonumbering of TIMs Created with HDIC
The Heterogeneous Design in Context (HDIC) capability enables you to incorporate in a single CAD system model, the design data from multiple CAD systems that are authored in third-party CAD tools.
If autonumbering is set to On in the Workspace, autonumbering is enabled, and model names and numbers are automatically generated for the TIM parts and assemblies. If you specify alternate model names for the TIM parts and assemblies, the Windchill-generated model names and numbers overwrite the model names you specify for the TIM parts and assemblies.

 It is recommended that you set autonumbering to Off in the Workspace for the TIMs when HDIC is enabled. If you set autonumbering to ON in the workspace, set the hdic_autonumbering_disable configuration option to yes to retain the names of the TIM parts. |
To retain the user-specified model names of the TIMs when autonumbering is set to On in the Workspace and HDIC is enabled in the
Windchill connected mode of
Creo, you must set the
hdic_autonumbering_disable configuration option to
yes. This value of the
hdic_autonumbering_disable configuration option does not allow the
Windchill-generated model names and numbers to overwrite the user-specified names of the TIM parts and assemblies created by HDIC in the Workspace. However, this autonumbering is valid for
Creo models even though the TIMs created by the HDIC capability are not affected by this autonumbering.
If you set the hdic_autonumbering_disable configuration option to No, the autonumbering of the TIM parts and assemblies created with the HDIC capability depends on whether autonumbering is set to On or Off in the Workspace. If autonumbering is set to Off in the Workspace, you do not have to set the hdic_autonumbering_disable configuration option.
In
Creo, you can set the configuration option,
hdic_export_v5_to_ws_enable, to
yes to enable HDIC for CATIA V5 in the
Windchill connected mode of
Creo. You can then export
Creo models from the
Windchill Workspace as CATIA V5 CATPart and CatProduct parts and assemblies. Use the
Save a Copy command in
Creo to save
Creo models that are checked in to
Windchill as CATPart and CATProduct parts and assemblies. The export creates Translated Image Models (TIMs) of the CATPart and CATProduct parts and assemblies. The TIM parts and assemblies are checked in as CAD Documents in the
Windchill Workspace with CATIA V5 data as the primary content of the CAD Documents.
