Modified: 29-Sep-2025   


Applies To

  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 10.0
  • Windchill PDMLink 9.1 to 12.1

Description

  • Units of measure shift from liters to cubic meters in an Assembly with a Bulk Item component in the Structure tab of the CAD Document details page
  • Use case:
    1. In Creo Parametric, in a Bulk Item, add a Parameter named BOM_REPORT_QUANTITY, with a Real Number value, change the Unit to L
    2.  After a check-in of this Bulk Item in Windchill PDMLink, the Unit is converted to cubic meters
