GM PDL Toolkit - Something similar available to non-suppliers?
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
The place I'm currently at does not have access to the GM PDL toolkit. I had become accustomed to it's functionality at the previous place I was at. Is there software similar to the GM PDL toolkit that is available to non-GM suppliers? OR... how can I perform the functions listed below using NX5 with Teamcenter 2007?
- Assembly Drawing Creation, with assembly structure auto-fill from Assembly Navigator?
- Multi-page Drawings with auto fill for part number, name, etc...
- Category or Reference Set creation (without creating my own macro?)
- Any other useful GM PDL toolkit functions I may be forgetting
Your help is appreciated.

RE: GM PDL Toolkit - Something similar available to non-suppliers?
Of course you would have to create your own macros unless you steal them, which probably wouldn't suit you anyway because a lot of what they do is specific and inflexible according to the GM system.
In fact many of the simpler functions would be so simple to create that all you'd have to use is a macro, some could involve the use of grip or other NX Open programming that tends increasingly towards the journal functionality, becoming perhaps a little easier as it does so.
