PTC Dynamic Document Management Domain
PTC Dynamic Document Management domain provides access to the dynamic document capabilities of Windchill. Dynamic documents are compound documents that are encoded in a markup language such as XML. Dynamic documents include files that are authored in Arbortext Editor and can also contain other document-related files, such as graphics. Dynamic documents can contain parent and child documents, where the child documents can be transcluded into the parent. Dynamic documents can also reference other dynamic documents. With this domain, you can manage and share dynamic documents in Windchill.

If you add <image> elements to a dynamic document, which is in DITA format, and check in the document, links to the graphics are automatically created in Windchill. If you delete the <image> elements, the links are retained.

In XML content, dynamic documents are identified by the CADName attribute of the document. OData endpoint can find dynamic documents with either the object identifier Oid or the CADName attribute.

The entity provides two navigation properties to support Service Information Manager Translation.
• Navigation from a dynamic document to the associated translated dynamic documents is possible.
• For a Creo Illustrate 3D illustration file (.c3di), navigation is provided from the document to the associated XLIFF dynamic document. XLIFF contains translatable strings of the illustration.
