Creo/IPEM pulls a as stored version of drawing when "GetDrawing" icon is used to pull a drawing from TC.
Instead of "GetDrawing", when using RAC or using the IPEM Menu "Open", the latest version of the drawing is opened in Creo.
Solution
This is 'As Designed' behavior.
The reason for the difference is that the "Get Drawing" button will retrieve it using "Precise".
But, when opening the drawing from TC RAC or IPEM, it will use the Revision Rule.
