AssociatedCADDocs denotes the logical associations between an EPMDocument its associated WTParts. There are three types of associations, ACTIVE, PASSIVE and IMPLICIT. An EPMDocument automatically propagates its attribute and/or structure information to its actively associated WTParts whenever it is checked in. A passively associated one does not. Unlike active and passive, an implicitly associated EPMDocument does not have a database link directly to its WTPart. It is considered associated because it references the master of the actively associated EPMDocument that propagates its structure information to the WTPart. Internally, this relationship traverses different link classes depending upon type. ACTIVE traces EPMBuildRule or EPMBuildHistory while PASSIVE traces EPMDescribeLink. IMPLICIT finds all of the EPMDocuments in an EPMDocument's as-stored config whose master it has an EPMReferenceLink to. And, returns the actively associated WTParts that those EPMDocuments propagate structure information to. This relationship begins with an EPMDocument and ends with a WTPart. And, may return an EPMBuildRule, an EPMBuildHistory, an EPMDescribeLink or no link depending upon type. IMPLICIT does not return links. By default, this relationship returns the latest iteration of each associated WTPart version. The caller may provide a Configuration to override the default behavior for ACTIVE and PASSIVE associations. CADAssociatedParts is the reciprocal of AssociatedCADDocs.
