Part Library Setup
The administrator for your site can set up libraries that correspond to your company's organization and processes. In fact, Windchill PDMLink comes with an out-of-the-box template for organizing a library specifically for CAD parts. If you are designated as a library manager by your organization, you can create a library and use it to store CAD parts of particular interest to your project.
To set up a part library:
1. Create a library in
Windchill PDMLink. Within your library, you can set up a folder structure to organize hierarchies of CAD parts and to group related CAD parts together. For more information on creating libraries, see the online help for the
Windchill PDMLink Library tab. For more information on administering a library, see the section
Enterprise Administration.
2. Set the configuration option in Creo Parametric (pro_library_dir) to point to the library in Windchill PDMLink. This makes access to the primary CAD parts resource faster.
