MPMLink: Equivalent Usage Link
Product: Windchill
Release: 11.2.1.0
Benefit
Enables you to perform actions such as update assigned expressions and position information without the need to have an equivalent occurrence link between the selected parts. The equivalent usage link between the parts is considered in the usage mode.
Additional Details
An equivalent usage link is used to relate a usage path of a part in an upstream context to a usage path of its equivalent part in the downstream context. The actions related to equivalent usage follow:
Create Equivalent Usage Link : Creates a usage link between an upstream part and its equivalent downstream part.
Update Equivalent Consumption Status : Displays the equivalent usage information between the upstream and downstream part using status indicators. You need to execute the action to view the latest status whenever required.
Select Equivalent Usages on Other Side: Shows the equivalent usage for the selected part.
