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.
Once done, you are 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.
