Open from Windchill
The Open from Windchill command allows you to open a CAD document in Autodesk Inventor from Windchill. By default, this command displays the CAD documents that are stored in the Windchill workspace on the registered primary server. You can also choose to browse to the CAD documents that are stored in the Commonspace.
The following graphic illustrates the information flow when you initiate Open from Windchill.
To open a CAD document from Windchill:
1. In Autodesk Inventor, select Windchill > Open from Windchill. The Open from Windchill window opens.
2. In the File name: box, type the name of the CAD document. You can also select the document in the list of CAD documents, or type the CAD document name in the search box.
3. To select a CAD document from the Commonspace, select Windchill Cabinets under Common Folders in the left pane and browse to the desired document.
