WT Parts Processing for ETRAGE Viewer and Publisher
In the world of Windchill, a part is a database object that represents a physical component or assembly within the structure of a manufactured product. The part object (commonly referred to as a WTPart) is used as the container for all information that describes or defines that component or assembly.
WTParts enables easy access to all Related Objects linked to the WTPart, including CAD/Dynamic Documents, Described By Documents, Reference Documents and more.
ETRAGE’s WTParts Solution takes this bundle of related objects and makes it available OUTSIDE of Windchill, putting into ETRAGE Viewer while keeping the relationships intact. Meaning, users across all departments (Manufacturing, Shop Floor, Quality, Purchasing, Marketing, Supply Chain etc) can all get easy access to additional objects that relate to the design & development of parts, without needing to know how to navigate the often-complex PTC Windchill PLM interface.
Managing product data in Windchill shouldn’t mean juggling multiple tabs, clicking through endless menus, or hunting down the right files. ETRAGE’s WTParts streamlines your workflow by enabling instant, consolidated downloads of all relevant document types for any part in your Windchill system.
