Active
|
• Creates a companion Windchill product structure.
• Allows attribute information to be passed between the CAD structure and the associated Windchill product structure.
|
Association type renamed to Owner.
|
Passive
|
• Contributes to the description of the Windchill product structure.
• Similar to the behavior of a Describes link between a Windchill document and a Windchill part.

Build Rule Characteristic

Special Build Rule Adherence
|
---|---|---|
Structure
|
Creates a companion Windchill product structure.
|
Only one CAD document can drive the Windchill product structure.
|
Attribute
|
Allows attribute information to be passed between the CAD structure and the associated Windchill product structure.
|
Many CAD documents can drive the attributes of the Windchill product structure.
|
Representation
|
When the CAD document is added to a CAD structure, add its associated Windchill part to the generated Windchill product structure.
|
• A CAD document can only represent one Windchill part.
• A Windchill part can have many CAD documents representing it.
|
|
It is important to distinguish between the use of the term ‘representation’ when referring to build links (that is, represented in, or participating in, a structure), and the use of the term ‘representation’ when referring to a Windchill Visualization Services (WVS) representation of a part (for example, as seen in the Representations/Annotations table on a Windchill part information page.
For more information about WVS representations, see the section, Representations of CAD Documents with Owner-Associated Parts.
