Lori,
It would be helpful if "Explicit Attribute Mapping" were better defined. The first article list both options, but only explains implicit. The second article tells you how to make an explicit attribute, but not how it works. The third article only says, "Explicitly mapping Windchill attributes to CAD application parameters publishes Windchill information to the Creo Parametric system and other CAD applications." I did a quick search and couldn't find any other help pages talking about explicit attributes.
- Will explicit attributes automatically create corresponding parameters in Creo, even if those parameters don't already exist?
- Can explicit attributes be edited in the CAD application, or only in Windchill?
- Are explicit attributes versioned, common across all iterations of a revision, common to all revisions? (Like 'name', 'number', and 'filename')
Thanks!
