Creating a New Graphics Dynamic Document or Graphic Information Element
Windchill offers two dynamic document subtypes specialized for graphical file content. A graphics dynamic document is a general type, primarily for managing images through the workspace. A graphical information element dynamic document is more commonspace-oriented, although both subtypes can appear in both the workspace and the commonspace.
To create a new graphics dynamic document, see Creating a New Graphics Dynamic Document.
To create a new graphical information element, see Creating a New Graphic Information Element.
