Introduction
The Windchill Part Creation Utility is used to bulk create WTParts related to CAD documents and build product structures based on a set of rules configured by the user.
 |
You must first run the EPMDocumentVerifiedColumnCheck WinDU task before using this utility.
|
In its default configuration, the Windchill Part Creation utility does not search for CAD documents. The PartCreation.xml files MUST be created or changed for every system before the tool is run.
When using this utility, you can select objects based on the following criteria:
• CAD document authoring application
• Document type
• CAD document name
• CAD document number
• Attribute value
• Release level
• Folder location
Bulk creating WTParts is a three-step process:
• Begin by configuring the properties files.
• Use elements to create XML scripts.
• Complete the process by using the Windchill Part Creation Utility to build parts and product structure for selected EPM documentation and EPM document iterations.
