The revision and checkout of a non-native CAD object or a family table member can result in the revision and checkout of all the WTParts associated with the CAD object or all the family table instances related to the family table member. The Conflicts dialog box opens when you try to modify a CAD object or a family table member. You can then select the relevant option on the Conflicts dialog box to revise and check out all the WTParts associated with the CAD object or all the family table members related to the family table member. On the server side, you can set preferences to revise and check out all the associated WTParts or the entire family table when you revise and modify a CAD object or a family table member. If you use the CAD objects collector or the family table collector, the revise and checkout operation is performed only on those associated WTParts or family table members that you include in the relevant collector.

You must register Windchill 9.1 servers or later servers in the Creo application to retrieve the Creo-supported non-native CAD objects. The CAD documents may have an Owner or Content association, or both, with the relevant WTParts and you may want to synchronize the revision of the CAD documents and WTParts with an Owner association. However, the preference set on the server-side does not differentiate Owner and Content associations when WTParts are included for a revise operation in the relevant collector. A revise operation, therefore, revises both associations. The WTParts are automatically added to the workspace and you do not have to check them out. If an associated WTPart is not available, the revise operation fails. You can then use the Revise option from workspace. WTParts are revised by default and the latest iteration of the latest or an older revision of an object is revised. You can also set server-side preferences for the automatic selection of the next available Revision labels.
