Ravi,
We are using MCs to group items together for customer manuals. When a BOM is entered into our ERP system that same BOM is collected in a MC for that specific unit. To the collection we add drawings, inspection reports, technical manuals, shipping docs, and anything else that pertains to that specific unit. It's a great place to group data together for future reference....no more searching in folders across the network.
We have customized the MC UI to include:
- Exporting list to excel
- Windchill batch print
- Code that displays description 1 & 2 from a drawings associated EPM assembly (helps any user find what they are looking for).
- Code that displays true latest (this is used when copying contents of a MC for use in a new MC)
Now I just want to state that we might not be using them as PTC intended and maybe baselines might have been a better choice, but they work great for us so far.
