1. Type Manager or Site > Utilities > Type and Attribute Manager.
• Top level objects in Type Manager are modeled classes.
• Nested objects in Type Manager are soft types, even though they may specify a name
that looks like a modeled class. A good example of this is a “Program” object:

***

Properties page URLs
• Open a properties page of an object and look at the oid parameter in the URL. This is an
example of a Document properties page URL:
http://SERVER/Windchill/servlet/TypeBasedIncludeServlet?oid=OR%3Awt.doc.WTDocument%3A10861
The class is wt.doc.WTDocument.
This is an example of a Product Details page URL:
http://SERVER/Windchill/netmarkets/jsp/product/info.jsp?oid=OR%3Awt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct%3A14179
The class is wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct.

***

Step 3. How many newWTDocument() methods exist in WTDocument?
Step 4. What does class does WTDocument extend?
Step 5. What is the name of the generic link between two EPMDocuments? Check the
wt.epm.structure package.
