    Description

    • Configuring multiple non-File Sync Windchill CAD worker definitions (using the -DA <alias> argument) of the same CAD Type on a single machine is supported for which CAD Applications
    • Which adapters support multiple worker instances for the same CAD Document Authoring Application on the same host
      • e.g. Two or more SolidWorks OR two or more NX workers running on the same worker host computer
    • Setting Max Instances (Non-File Sync only)= 2 instead of the default 1 for Solidworks worker executes jobs in sequence and not in parallel
      • Publishing continues with single worker
      • Second worker does not start
    • SOLIDWORKS worker fails to start when connected to 3 Windchill application server in a HV cluster environment with multi port configured
    • Is it possible to configure multiple inventor CAD worker one the same machine
    • Is it possible to configure multiple Creo Illustrate worker on the same machine
