Upchain recently introduced support for attaching DraftSight DWG files to items in Upchain. During our testing, we encountered a few issues with the handling of these DraftSight DWGs upon release. If these areas can be addressed, it would be possible to fully utilize the Upchain CAD Connector plugin for these files.
- The DraftSight DWG files should be attached to the Drawing tab of the item, rather than the CBOM tab.
- The custom properties of these DraftSight DWG files should be updated during check-ins and releases, just like how Upchain updates DWG files from AutoCAD. This has a direct impact on the Item version updates on the title blocks of these dwg files.
- During Change Request (CR) workflows, the system primitive for the 'GPS Create PDF' task should include these DWG files and generate PDF translations for them. The resulting PDFs should then be attached to the newly released version of the item.
