Mass Update Manufacturing Objects
Use the Mass Update Manufacturing Objects feature to update multiple objects at the same time. This feature lets you replace a Windchill object with another Windchill object of the same type. You can update objects associated with parts and operations, such as part usages, described by documents, raw-material parts, semi-finished parts, and others. You can also update attribute values of multiple objects simultaneously.
Certain objects may not get updated in case of the following scenarios:
• The target object that needs to be updated or the replacement object is checked out by you or another user. However, you can replace a raw-material or semi-finished part with another part even if these parts are checked out. This is because the part made by the raw-material or semi-finished part is not iterated when this part is replaced.
• The target object type and replacement object type are not compatible.
• You do not have permission to check out the object.
• The object is checked out to a project.
