We had a situation recently where we didn't get what we expected when downloading from Windchill to a workspace.
The designer had saved the drawing and assembly file as part of a check-in process. Submitted a promotion request, which was rejected from a bad WTpart EBOM listing. Designer checked out the part and WTpart, made the corrections, checked them back in. Submitted a new promotion request against the drawing, which uses the Load latest rule, and the part/drawing are approved and released. However, the drawing file is pointing to an older version of the assembly and not the latest after the EBOM change. Come forward a few weeks and we go to put the files out to manufacturing, so Add to Workpace is used and low and behold we do not have the latest version model. Nothing was physically changed in the model, so that is ok.
The question being asked is: Is there a way at promotion request time to flag the promoter that the drawing is not utilizing the latest model, even though the latest model has been added to the promotion request because of the Load Latest rule? I do not think we want to modify the promotion request to use As Stored, since that could miss things at multiple levels.
