Re: Drawing distribution and release process using Windchill

Hi Don,

 

I know it is an old practice to have the Created By, Approved By and Reviewed By (as well as the date) but to me this should not be required.

It can be complex to put this in place. I had a similar requirement in the past in my company. It took me a long time to convince people it was not required as they should check PDMLink if they need to know.

 

From production standpoint. It should really no matter who created it, who approved it etc... they should only be concerned with insuring that what they get is what they need, ie an approved drawing. Who approves it is not relevant to them.

For audit purposes, well everything is in Windchill,

 

The other requirement I had was that some sites were used to list the changes on the 2 DRW. Here again, it is a duplication of information as it exists in Windchill (should exist if Windchill is used correctly).   I am must say that while I thought I have won that battle (no history table on the drawing) after about 3 years a new manager came and told the designer to do include the version history table.  I could not stop them as there is no authorisation to stop that but I really believe it is a waste of time.  His call after all......

 

Nonetheless, this does not answer your original question and I hope someone will tell you how to do it. But this can be tricky because what do you actually release, the drawing the model, the wtpart ?........
