Workflow Challenges with xDrawing and Engineering Release (XEN) Integration

I'm curious about BOM Management workflow when using xDrawing.

  1. Create the eBOM (including all Physical Products and their corresponding Drawings) used in the project
  2. Generate a Drawing View that allows me to see all Drawings at a glance

Previously, when using Solidworks Connected, I utilized Engineering Release (XEN) to attach Drawings to the BOM and create the Drawing View. In this process, I secured traceability between the Physical Product and the Drawing by using Relations and Product Explorer.

Here’s what I’ve attempted:

a. Created a Physical Product using xDesign
b. Created an Annotation Set (including the Drawing) using xDrawing
c. Found that XEN does not support attaching or opening the Annotation Set
