Greetings all.
I was once a big proponent of FT at another company, (Which did not have Windchill) and saw it grow into a terrible mess, that was so bad we had to start deleting them. I am now at a company that has not had them in the past, but headquarters has now decided to implement them. Unfortunately, they have no idea about how to go about that, and that task seems to be ending up with our local group. We are running Creo 2 and Windchill 10.2
I have some questions, that I hope can be answered.
1. We have the generic part/instance name issue resolved, but what I am concerned about is editing Released files in the future. What is best practice for Releasing a FT? Do you Release the Generic, or only the FT instances?
2. We will be associating the Instances with WTParts. Are they to be set to Owner or ....?
3. And is there anywhere where I can find information discussing the fine points of Windchill FT Management?
Thanks in advance,
James.
