I&amp;#39;m in the midst of setting up our Innovator environment for doing PDM and PLM. We&amp;#39;re currently on SP9 (soon to be SP12), and use Solidworks with the Softech Connector.

I&amp;#39;m trying to keep things fairly simple, and we&amp;#39;re intending to use the</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Making CAD Documents Slave to Parts</title><link>https://www.aras.com/community/thread/1254?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jan 2018 09:41:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">916d3f7e-8ddc-42f8-8d45-380822f51406:f6979134-0bbb-47c9-8895-94f3f8665b5e</guid><dc:creator>Christopher Gillis</dc:creator><description>Hello,

While I haven&amp;#39;t seen a customer implement this exact use case before, we have had customers use custom versioning logic previously. In those cases, we&amp;#39;ve recommended creating two custom properties &amp;quot;my_custom_rev&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;my_custom_generation&amp;quot; to track your revisions that won&amp;#39;t be affected by the built-in versioning logic of Aras Innovator.

There are a number of different ways to achieve the result you&amp;#39;re looking for, but one idea would be to take advantage of the standard Part CAD relationship and create an onAfterAdd/onAfterUpdate server event that makes sure that your custom version properties of your child CAD items always match those of the parent Part.
