"People are able to swap out ..." Who is this for? Engineering? Maybe I don't understand the example but I would never make two non-interchangeable parts alternates for one another. For modeling purposes, I could see engineering wanting to swap between right angle and straight connectors but wouldn't you handle that in Creo as a modeling practice? I'm assuming this Windchill isn't connected to an ERP system?
This just saved me hours of mucking around.

How does that get reflected on the face of the drawing.
In a Part-centric approach you don't put supply chain related information on the engineering drawing.
What about superseded parts, strange this isn't addressed.
Supersession will be covered in a separate video.
