![]() I have been searching the PTC websites and the Internet for information about the various ways this might be achieved, and found quite a lot of it is confusing - as the terms watermark and stamp sometimes get mixed up. ), it seems the best solution for ECAD would be to add watermarks or stamps to the PDFs (copies of drawings, etc, attached to ECAD Derived documents) in order to add and show the missing metadata. Hence there is no mechanism for sharing Attributes & values between Windchill WGM and the native ECAD drawing files, and no sensible way to re-publish the viewable copies after approval in order to show the new version and state.įollowing discussions with PTC and our VAR, and as I have described on another recent posting (add cross-ref. Mentor Graphics, because they have a set of native files that get ZIPed up to make the ECAD Document primary attachments, and the viewables are (typically) made on the client-side automatically during the check-in process. ![]() ![]() The same behaviour is not possible for ECAD applications, such as Creo Schematic or PCBCAD tools from eg. Hence both the native CAD drawings and the PDF viewable copies show exactly the same information in the drawing title block. At the end of the workflows, the Lifecycle state changes and the drawings get re-published by WVS and the cadworkers, to make new PDFs showing the latest version, Lifecycle state, etc. We have configured and customised Windchill PDMLink to show some of the CAD Document information on native MCAD drawings created with Creo Parametric and SolidWorks, by using a combination of implicit mapping of Attributes and customised copies of the "download delegate" and the Promotion workflows.
