Hello everyone,
I want to ask that, how can we track the part/assembly corresponding to the drawing in Workgroup PDM.
For example, I've created a part with the revision number X01 (revision mark will go onwards X01-X99), and I'll prepare the drawing for that part as the revision number A01 (revision mark will go onwards A01-A99). Now, as the time move forward sometimes I'll changed the part only and sometimes I'll changed the drawing only (according to the requirement), and I'll check-in that part/drawing into the vault with the next revision number. Now, after few weeks/months when I want to open the part with the older versions, it will work great. But if I will open older version of drawings its not good. I mean we cannot connect that, which revision of older drawing to correspond to which revision of older version of part. This was creating a huge problem for us. If anyone can figure it out it'll be great help.
When you check out or open you have an option to get the latest revision or as built.
You can set this option to default to whichever you prefer.
As Built = the revision level of each child component when the parent is checked in.
It works moderately well for drawings and parts but assemblies are much more difficult to maintain.
