hi, I'm a beginner at Windchill, i have been watching your videos for a couple days now, and I'm loving them but I have two questions 1. if i check out a CAD document from server, modify it and check in to other folder, will the original file be moved to the new location? Or will the original file stay unmodified in its original location, and a modified copy of the file will be created in the new location? 2. If i delete added files from my workspace, will it also deletes these files in the server?
1. Here's what even experienced users often miss about Windchill: folders don't actually exist. They are essentially metadata tags to enable the illusion of browsing and also to manage permissions (although this practice is discouraged). Changing folders doesn't actually "move" the object. I don't believe you can "move" upon check-in but I'll have to check. Biggest advice I can give to a new person: don't get too wrapped up around folders. Windchill is a relational database, not a network file system. 2. No.
I'm curious, the old work flow in Intralink (at least for my company) was to check out, then modify to wip, then revise, then open and do the work, then check in, then find it in the browser and set the wip to release. We are now using Windchill, and it seems to be way less restrictive to this exact flow. We arent currently using the change control features in Windchill, at least not yet, but we do want to at minimum revise the version to the next letter every time we update the drawing. Would the proper flow be add to workspace, revise, checkout, do the work, check in?
Your old workflow is specific to your company. Your workflow is defined by your company processes. And you don’t have to do things in the order you specify. Some like to revise before adding to workspace. Some like to do the work prior to check out. Windchill is flexible to both your company processes and how you like to work.
I first used that dataset in a mechanisms webcast probably around 2009. I got it from either a co-worker who probably got it from PTC or the PTC Tech Demo Database directly.
I'm surprised the Bender model doesn't make it into more Creo demos and videos. Definitely one of my favorite animated characters. Almost 20 years ago I went to a party in the San Fernando Valley with a college bud and one of the guests was an animator on Futurama. I talked to him for hours and got him to draw Bender on a cocktail napkin. I gave it to my best friend and he still has it framed today.
Thanks for your sharing. It's awesome. I couldn't find item9 and item10 synchronize and update workspace function video.

@@CADPLMGuy that's it! I was the Creo demo guy for many years on the tech demo team at PTC. exciting to see old bender make the big time 😁
