Modified: 18-Nov-2019
Applies To
- Windchill PDMLink 10.1 to 11.0
Description
- While saving an Assembly to WLD, having Virtual component present in it, gives a message that some of the references are outside the WLD, thus creating ghost object.
Steps:
- Launch SolidWorks and create an Assembly. Insert New Part from Insert > Component > New Part. Place the part in the assembly and save the assembly
- During save, Select 'Save Internally' and complete the operation
- The component does not get created in Windchill, but does get saved internally to SolidWorks
