Right Mouse Button PDM actions for assembly dependents available in Authoring application
At Windchill 11.0 F000, there is a mechanism to deliver information into the CAD tool when the PDM status of data that is open in a CAD session has been changed by others — most importantly, when the status is checked out by another user. This enhancement “pushes” the information to users, eliminating the need to ask for the information. Once notified, users can perform the Update PDM Action on the selected object. This feature is available from the Right-click Actions Menu.
• Actions are only available for the children (parts, subassemblies as well as children of subassemblies) of the Top Parent assembly when open in assembly.

View Information is used to launch the details page of the CAD Document. View Information launches a separate web page; no PDM actions should be done from this page. This is only for viewing the details.
