Opening a model specific Creo Parametric Family Table instance from a Windchill PDMLink workspace while the generic is in session causes the instance to be flagged as 'modified' when the generic is saved
Modified: 09-Sep-2022
Applies To
- Creo Parametric 3.0 to 5.0
- Windchill PDMLink 10.2 to 11.1
Description
- Opening a model specific Creo Parametric Family Table instance from a Windchill PDMLink workspace while the generic is in session causes the instance to be flagged as 'modified' when the generic is saved
- That is even if the instance was closed and erased from Creo Parametric memory before the generic was saved
- No changes were made to the generic or to the instance that triggers the instance modification
Steps to reproduce
- Add to a Windchill PDMLink workspace the model specific Creo Parametric generic CAD without any instances
- Unlock if necessary the generic from the workspace
- Open generic in Creo Parametric and trigger a checkout via adding a new line in the family table
- After that is done, stay in family table and open a specific instance
- This last transaction will add to the workspace the instance model (unlock it if need be)
- Next close instance from session (also could erase from Creo Parametric memory if needed to)
- Try to save the generic and notice that there are 2 warning prompted as the instance wants to be saved
- This is incorrect as the generic only should be saved (and the new instance)
