Extract CAD from Windchill PLM

Question

I am trying to retrieve the CAD model of a part in order to store it in an external application.

I started doing that with info*engine. With info*engine i can retrieve the history of a part, or link two parts together but i didn't find a way to extract the part from windchill.

Any one have an idea how to proceed? Is the use of info*engine the correct way to do that?

Answer 1

You can do this by Windchill specific API in your java code. Info*engine not needed.

QueryResult qresult = PersistenceHelper.manager.navigate(prt, EPMBuildRule.ROLE_AOBJECT_ROLE, EPMBuildRule.class, true);

Here prt is your wtpart which have cad data in it.

还有一个带有静态方法的帮助程序类，可以帮助您：

EPMDocument[] epmDocs = ObjectDependencyUtility.getAssociated(part);
