Enabling As Stored Configurations
The As Stored configuration is a baseline created at checkin. When more than one CAD document or a drawing CAD document is checked in from the workspace, the As Stored configuration is created. The As Stored configuration is a snapshot of the workspace at the time of check-in.
You can use the As Stored configuration to:
reload the workspace in the same way each time the iteration is modified, whether working directly with, or referencing the checked-in iteration.
retrieve the assembly using the As Stored configuration.
By default, Create As Stored is set to Yes in the Operation category of the WindchillPreference Manager utility. This specifies that an As Stored configuration be created at checkin.
