Load Drawing References When Drawing is Opened in Autodesk Inventor
In wgmclient.ini file, you can set the following preference:
force.load.drawing.references: Controls whether to load drawing references in session when a drawing is opened in Autodesk Inventor.
• Yes – Drawing dependents (references) will be fully loaded in Autodesk Inventor session provided the referenced models are available in Windchill workspace.
• No (default) – No additional drawing dependents (references) will be loaded. Drawing dependents will be loaded according to Autodesk Inventor load options.
 |
Setting this preference will have some performance impact that depends on the time taken by native CAD application to load all the references.
|
Example
In the following example,
1. A drawing CONROD.idw references the part CONROD_CAP.ipt. The parameter values of CONROD_CAP.ipt are added in the parts list of CONROD.idw.
2. In Windchill Workgroup Manager workspace, modify the CONROD_CAP.ipt part as shown below:
◦ Initial Parameter values:
▪ CONROD_CAP.ipt (PTC_WM_NAME)
▪ A (PTC_WM_REVISION)
▪ In Work (PTC_WM_LIFECYCLE_STATE)
▪ 111 (WF_INT1)
◦ Modified Parameter values:
▪ CONROD CAP_CHANGED (PTC_WM_NAME)
▪ B (PTC_WM_REVISION)
▪ Released (PTC_WM_LIFECYCLE_STATE)
▪ 222 (WF_INT1)
3. With the preference force.load.drawing.references’ =Yes, CONROD.idw (drawing) displays the modified parameters of the part CONROD_CAP.ipt as shown in the following image.
| | If the preference force.load.drawing.references = No, you must reopen referenced part CONROD CAP_CHANGED.ipt in Autodesk Inventor to reflect the modified parameter values in CONROD.idw (drawing). |
