The versioning schemes for Windchill PDMLink are identified based on the object type through object initialization rules.

For a specific object type, such as a part or document subtype, each object type can use a specific version scheme referenced by a scheme name.

These version schemes are then identified in an XML file. For example, the out-of-the-box XML file loaded with Windchill PDMLink is:

This file contains the sequences and seeds (for example, NUMERIC and MILSTD).

For information on setting up the state-based versioning scheme that corresponds with the Version Series drop-down list that is available for each state, see Administering the Versioning of Parts, Documents, and CAD Documents.
