In Solid Edge 2019 MP4 and ST10 MP12 we added a new Solid Edge Data Management (SEDM) option to automatically move old revisions to Obsolete status when a new revision is released. However when installing Solid Edge 2019 MP4 or ST10 MP12 this function is off by default. How to enable this?
Solution
To enable Auto Obsolete in an older revision there will be a User Interface option in SE 2020. However, in the meantime it will be necessary to use a Registry switch in Solid Edge 2019 Maintenance Pack 4 and Solid Edge ST10 Maintenance Pack 12.
Please Note: Two options (as described below) have been backported in SE219 MP4 and ST10 MP12. Please use the registry keys to change the value/option.
