so forth and so on now the only one of
so forth and so on now the only one of those that i'm going to talk about
those that i'm going to talk about
those that i'm going to talk about in this video is cad data management
in this video is cad data management
in this video is cad data management i'll cover the
i'll cover the
i'll cover the other areas in different videos but for
other areas in different videos but for
other areas in different videos but for cad data management one of the main
cad data management one of the main
cad data management one of the main functions that
functions that
functions that pdm link and wind chill serve for you is
pdm link and wind chill serve for you is
pdm link and wind chill serve for you is a vault
a vault
a vault for your data that's where you're going
for your data that's where you're going
for your data that's where you're going to store all the different iterations
to store all the different iterations
to store all the different iterations of your cad models and you're going to
of your cad models and you're going to
of your cad models and you're going to be able to have
be able to have
be able to have access control you can control who
access control you can control who
access control you can control who is capable of seeing various different
is capable of seeing various different
is capable of seeing various different objects
objects
objects and the different permissions that they
and the different permissions that they
and the different permissions that they have on those objects
have on those objects
have on those objects whether they are allowed to view them
whether they are allowed to view them
whether they are allowed to view them whether they're allowed to
whether they're allowed to
whether they're allowed to modify them and so on
modify them and so on
modify them and so on you also have version history so every
you also have version history so every
you also have version history so every time
time
time one of your users checks out a model or
one of your users checks out a model or
one of your users checks out a model or drawing and then checks it back in
drawing and then checks it back in
drawing and then checks it back in windchill is going to keep each of those
windchill is going to keep each of those
windchill is going to keep each of those different iterations each of those
different iterations each of those
different iterations each of those different
different
different versions of the model in the database so
versions of the model in the database so
versions of the model in the database so you can perform comparisons
you can perform comparisons
you can perform comparisons to see how something has changed or if
to see how something has changed or if
to see how something has changed or if you decide that you need to go back in
you decide that you need to go back in
you decide that you need to go back in time
time
time you can revert to an earlier iteration
you can revert to an earlier iteration
you can revert to an earlier iteration of the model
of the model
of the model in addition to version control something
in addition to version control something
in addition to version control something very similar
very similar
very similar is revision control so at some point
is revision control so at some point
is revision control so at some point you're going to
you're going to
you're going to release your objects you're going to say
release your objects you're going to say
release your objects you're going to say hey we approve of this it went through
hey we approve of this it went through
hey we approve of this it went through a review it is no longer in process
a review it is no longer in process
a review it is no longer in process we are now going to release this so
we are now going to release this so
we are now going to release this so people can manufacture it
people can manufacture it
people can manufacture it but sometimes when you manufacture
but sometimes when you manufacture
but sometimes when you manufacture something you realize that something's
something you realize that something's
something you realize that something's wrong
wrong
wrong or maybe something even gets out into
or maybe something even gets out into
or maybe something even gets out into the field your customers are using it
the field your customers are using it
the field your customers are using it and you realize hey we need to make a
and you realize hey we need to make a
and you realize hey we need to make a change
change
change this because it's not working the way
this because it's not working the way
this because it's not working the way that we want it to
that we want it to
that we want it to so in order to take something from a
so in order to take something from a
so in order to take something from a release date
release date
release date back to an in-work state you are going
back to an in-work state you are going
back to an in-work state you are going to revise that object
to revise that object
to revise that object and so pdmlink allows you to revise
and so pdmlink allows you to revise
and so pdmlink allows you to revise your different objects to revert them
your different objects to revert them
your different objects to revert them back to a lower life cycle state
back to a lower life cycle state
back to a lower life cycle state and if you revise them well you are
and if you revise them well you are
and if you revise them well you are going to be able to
going to be able to
going to be able to access again previous revisions to see
access again previous revisions to see
access again previous revisions to see what it looked like
what it looked like
what it looked like with your cad data you also have
with your cad data you also have
with your cad data you also have something called metadata
something called metadata
something called metadata and so meta is a prefix that means
and so meta is a prefix that means
and so meta is a prefix that means something about
something about
something about something so the term metadata means
something so the term metadata means
something so the term metadata means data about data so you have additional
data about data so you have additional
data about data so you have additional information
information
information that you are tracking regarding
that you are tracking regarding
that you are tracking regarding the different cad models that you are
the different cad models that you are
the different cad models that you are checking in and so this can be
checking in and so this can be
checking in and so this can be sourcing information it can be
sourcing information it can be
sourcing information it can be information about
information about
information about who created the objects who last
who created the objects who last
who created the objects who last modified the objects
modified the objects
modified the objects you can also create your own custom
you can also create your own custom
you can also create your own custom attributes for how you want to
attributes for how you want to
attributes for how you want to classify your objects and
classify your objects and
classify your objects and how you want to track them so you can
how you want to track them so you can
how you want to track them so you can create other information related to the
create other information related to the
create other information related to the cad
cad
cad documents that you are checking in also
documents that you are checking in also
documents that you are checking in also you have your product structure so for
you have your product structure so for
you have your product structure so for example if you take a look at the view
example if you take a look at the view
example if you take a look at the view on the right
on the right
on the right we can see a hierarchical
we can see a hierarchical
we can see a hierarchical product structure in other words the top
product structure in other words the top
product structure in other words the top level assembly there's the power train
level assembly there's the power train
level assembly there's the power train and it's got some sub assemblies
and it's got some sub assemblies
and it's got some sub assemblies and there are sub-assemblies and parts
and there are sub-assemblies and parts
and there are sub-assemblies and parts within the sub-assemblies
within the sub-assemblies
within the sub-assemblies so you're going to be able to have
so you're going to be able to have
so you're going to be able to have access to the entire
access to the entire
access to the entire product structure as well
product structure as well
product structure as well and you're going to be able to do
and you're going to be able to do
and you're going to be able to do promotions and releases
promotions and releases
promotions and releases which is part of that revision that
which is part of that revision that
which is part of that revision that stuff that i talked about
stuff that i talked about
stuff that i talked about so for example you have something you're
so for example you have something you're
so for example you have something you're working on and you say
working on and you say
working on and you say hey this is good we did a design review
hey this is good we did a design review
hey this is good we did a design review everyone likes it
everyone likes it
everyone likes it we are ready to start building a
we are ready to start building a
we are ready to start building a prototype or go to manufacturing
prototype or go to manufacturing
prototype or go to manufacturing so you can use different processes
so you can use different processes
so you can use different processes processes like promotions and releases
processes like promotions and releases
processes like promotions and releases in order to have it go up in maturity
in order to have it go up in maturity
in order to have it go up in maturity in its life cycle and also you have
in its life cycle and also you have
in its life cycle and also you have notifications so for example let's say
notifications so for example let's say
notifications so for example let's say that you
that you
that you are working on some model and you
are working on some model and you
are working on some model and you checked it in maybe you want to receive
checked it in maybe you want to receive
checked it in maybe you want to receive an automatic email notification if
an automatic email notification if
an automatic email notification if someone else checks it out or checks it
someone else checks it out or checks it
someone else checks it out or checks it in
in
in or modifies the metadata you can use
or modifies the metadata you can use
or modifies the metadata you can use subscriptions
subscriptions
subscriptions to have those automatic email
to have those automatic email
to have those automatic email notifications
notifications
notifications about changes to objects within
about changes to objects within
about changes to objects within windchill so some people say it's like
windchill so some people say it's like
windchill so some people say it's like you know what we probably don't need
you know what we probably don't need
you know what we probably don't need product life cycle management our
product life cycle management our
product life cycle management our products aren't that complicated there
products aren't that complicated there
products aren't that complicated there are maybe only a few different parts in
