PDMLink Rev, Version, Lifecycle State

[kgwmu]

I am looking to use the PDMLink parameters on a drawing
for a family table of parts. I am looking to use
PTC_WM_VERSION or PTC_WM_REViSION in combination with
PTC_WM_LIFECYCLE_STATE. I can not get any of these
parameters to show up as choosable (might not be a real
word

)options while creating a family table. Is there
a config option or a setting that I should be looking at?

somebody must have tried this and figured it out
already...

Anything that begins with PTC_WM is controlled by PDMLink so you cannot edit those values manually.

If you want to report those parameters on a drawing you can do so with Repeat Regions.

It doesn't have to be a repeat region. You can use them in the format just like any other parameter. &PTC_WM_REVISION, &PTC_WM_REVISION, etc.


You have to remember these values will not be valid until the object is checked in for the first time. So, they may be blank, initially.
