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.
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.
