Description

  • Retrieving models in a linked session of Creo Parametric with Windchill where the attribute value was edited in Windchill, returns the message:
Attribute <attribute> cannot be propagated to <model>. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored.
  • Can't map the attributes of a CAD document modified in the workspace to the parameters of a Creo Parametric model
  • Warning about unable to map attribute or parameter to Windchill after model is successfully checked in
  • While opening an assembly containing released 3D models getting an error:
Attribute <attribute> cannot be propagated to <model>. Modifications made to this attribute in the PDM system will be ignored. 
  • Steps to reproduce:
    1. Model with non-designated parameter is checked into Windchill
    2. User modifies attribute of same name in Windchill
    3. Model is retrieved in session
    4. The previously non-designated parameter becomes designated with old value to prevent regeneration issues (eg. If parameters are used in relations)
