Adding an Illustration
Once you have created a Parts List you can add Arbortext IsoDraw illustrations to the Parts List using the Parts List Editor.
When adding an illustration to a Parts List, do not manually add a Part List GDD (.pvz) file to the workspace. Instead, let the Part List GDD (.pvz) file get added to the workspace automatically while creating an illustration for a Part List object. This prevents the error of Windchill Workgroup Manager not opening Arbortext IsoDraw for a Part List GDD (.pvz) file manually created in the workspace.

If there is an existing Part List GDD (.pvz) file already in the workspace that was added manually, remove it and invoke the action New Illustration from the Actions drop-down list on the details page of a Parts List object and follow the instructions above.
