Description

  • With the following steps, modified content in local workspace is overwritten with the content saved in Windchill Commonspace with the following steps:
    1. In Creo: check in a new CAD document to Windchill
    2. Check out the CAD document and modify it in Creo
    3. Save and Upload the modified document to the active workspace
    4. In a standalone browser: Go to the same workspace
    5. Undo check out the Creo document
    6. In Creo: In the same workspace, refresh workspace or Tool > Synchronize
  • At step #6, the modification made at step #3 is overwritten with the content stored in Windchill Commonspace. 
  • Content overwrite may happen when performing Undo check out, Add or Update at step #5. The modified local content created by Creo Parametric and Windchill Workgroup Manager for MCAD and ECAD may be overwritten.
  • Both preference settings (either client or server) to control local content overwrite, for example, ‘UndoCheckout.overwrite.local.content=No’ is ignored because the standalone browser does not provide local content handling options.
