Managing Secondary Content (Creo Elements/Direct Modeling)
The administrator specifies files that the system automatically attaches to a supported model’s CAD document. The functionality assumes that the name of these related files is not random and is based on of the main model’s file name.
The following file specifications are defined:
• Extension of the file to be automatically attached
• Existing category for the file
• New category
◦ Behavior for downloading attachments of this type
◦ Validity of the attachment after the primary content is modified is also defined by the attachment
• A pattern-matching string to find the name of the additional content.
By default, no automatic attachment settings are defined. These can only be set by a user. Automatic attachment preference can be set from all locations – Sites, Products, Projects, or Organizations in Windchill Preference Management and the wgmclient.ini file.
To define the automatic attachment settings:
1. In Preference Management, configure the Windchill Workgroup Manager autoattach preference, Upload CAD/Dynamic Document and Attachment Filter, with the file wgm.autoattach. This allows the content that is uploaded to Windchill to be configured as additional content of a CAD model.
 |
The parameters are case sensitive, For example; to upload a PDF attachment for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, the value would be wgm.autoattach=*.pdf,GENERAL
|
2. Set the upload.autoattach.search path. This specifies the paths on disk, separated by ; (semi-colon), search for attachments that need to be automatically added to a dynamic document upon upload.
