• Associations requires either EBOM Management, Creo Data Management and Visualization, Multi-MCAD Data Management and Visualization Essentials, Multi-MCAD Data Management and Visualization, or PDMLink Module or ProjectLink Module licenses.
• Associations are only created upon clicking OK in the Auto Associate window. Similarly, listed parts whose row indicates New part created for association are not created if you select Cancel rather than completing the action.
|
|
The exact manner in which the part is searched for, created, named, and numbered depends on preferences set by the site administrator. For more information, see the Getting Started with Windchill Administration. Auto association to parts is not supported for dynamic documents. Dynamic documents and graphics dynamic documents cannot form an owner, contributing image, or image link. Only contributing content or content links are available for dynamic documents and graphics dynamic documents, and these associations must be created manually.
|
|
You can build the part after the association, when the preference
> > is set to ‘Yes’. |
|
The auto-associate behavior for CAD Documents is intended to be used only in Products and Libraries and for Owner Only association of source CAD Documents. Auto-association is not intended for Projects.
