Save an As-Designed context on a Windchill Part

It is often the case that a specific Windchill Part version is created in relation to specific versions of requirements and/or quality management artifacts. In order to capture the exact artifact versions as they were when the Part version was created and/or validated, it is possible to save a GC as the As-Designed context of a Part version.

To save a As-Designed context on a Part version:

1. Locate and click on the currently selected GC next to the Refresh button at the top of the links table.
2. It opens a Configuration context panel, in which you can see the selected GC, the Windchill Context it resolves to in the current Windchill product or library, and the saved As-Designed context on the current Part version, if any.
3. Click on the Actions button.
4. Click on the Make context As-Designed menu element.

You are now free to display the Part links in any configuration context, and easily go back to the As-Designed context by selecting the Switch to As-Designed menu element.

An As-Designed context association can be removed from a Part version at any time by selecting the Clear As-Designed context menu element.
