I have created a simple materials library using the material name (&PTC_material_name) and description (&PTC_material_description). (The description actually contains the unique part number for that particular material compound/colour/supplier etc so is the identifier)
I can call the material name directly into 2d drawings and using relations, call the description.
Our engineers have asked if a column can be added to PDMLink to show the description value? ie a column that represent &PTC_material_description.
This would enable them to identify the material by number (through the description) rather than the name (for example, we may have 50 different types of ABS).
The materials library is stored within a Windchill library and is not local.
Thanks
