Modified: 15-Dec-2025
Applies To
- Windchill PDMLink 6.2 to 13.1
- Creo Parametric 1.0 to 11.0
- Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire to Wildfire 5.0
Description
- Under certain circumstances, it is possible to create an incompatibility in Windchill with regards to family tables:
- The latest version of a generic model references to an earlier or non-latest version of an instance
- The latest version of the same instance references an earlier or non-latest version of the generic
- Not all latest revisions of instances refer to the same non-latest generic
- When such a configuration exists, it can prevent certain actions and cause unexpected behavior:
- It is not possible to revise the whole family table
- It is not possible to check out the entire family table
- Add to workspace of a family table shows some members out of date even though the latest configuration was selected
- When a mismatch of revisions or versions occur, how to bring all members of a family into the latest revision?
- Not able to delete the latest iteration of a generic item that seems corrupted
