Developing Existing Designs
You can access existing designs on the PDM server.
PURPOSE
Collaborating with other designers or developing your own designs is made easier because Creo Parametric has access to your Windchill database. Windchill automatically checks for proper access to design files and enables you to view files and (upon checkout) reserve them for modification.
What is involved?
• Browse or Search in Windchill—Allows you to find files by browsing server locations or by criteria-based search.
• Add to Workspace—Places design metadata and (optionally) content into your workspace.
• Check Out—Adds data to your workspace and locks the server copy, giving you sole modification rights. For more information about searching in Windchill, see online help.
