Windchill Purge & Delete

Hi all!I have been struggling to determine a way to remove old data from our system. Neither delete or purge seem to be able to do what I'm looking for. Take for example the history of a sample cad document.-.0-.1-.2-.3A.0A.1A.2A.3B.0B.1B.2B.3C.0C.1C.2C.3Using Delete*

We’ve always wanted to purge but never have. Main considerations:

- For CAD, you generally need to keep a bunch of objects that either just didn’t get to Released yet or never get Released (e.g. Skeleton models) but the Purge function doesn’t have “Number” as a criteria (we use manual Numbering and so we can select those by Number).

- We’d like to purge CAD Drawing non-latest iterations, but also because NUMBER is not a criteria that can be used, there is no way to separate Drawing from Model CAD Doc’s.

- We’ve never seen anyone post anything about successfully purging (but lots of questions about it).

We’ve struggle with purge ever since we started using Windchill. The only way that we were able to delete a specific iteration of a specific version is by using a tool supplied by PTC. Ask PTC for the Windchill Toolkit Patch. Have to use extreme caution with it though. Once you delete it you can never get it back.
