I have a release schedule. Those videos will be available on their release date.

Suppose if I am having a configurable product. Say a part number 12345V000 is its name. In that product, I have component p, q and r. But, at not all conditions they might appear in the product. For eg, if my load size is 10mm then p might come and if its 20mm q might come and etc.. as of now, i am using a local parameter to control its condition so that if i say yes or no to super bom import, i can get all the BOM items to PDM. Without using a separate variable, how can we import super BOM of a product when we cant configure all of the items in a single structure?

[@CADPLMGuy]

It sounds like you should be using Options Modeler in Creo and/or Options & Variants on the Windchill side. I have a video coming out tomorrow on generating product variants using Options Modeler.

the fBOM would be more suitable, but I get why we don't use it :D

What's the origin behind the name Windshill??

[@CADPLMGuy]

It’s Windchill and it’s a cold weather related term. I don’t know why it was chosen.
