We are experiencing some problems with Proe WF5/Windchill
9.1 interaction. We are about ten Proe/Windchill users
and we design and manufacture medium sized assemblies.
Examples of the problems we are facing:

- The systems asks to check out some library components
when we try to assemble them. These components have been
created by the administrator and are simple parts, with
no external relationships.

- When we load an assembly from windchill cabinets, the
system asks to check out some components with no logic
reasons for that. The assembly was regenerated and with
no errors prior to checkin in.

- Our designers do not usually create undesired or
complex relationships between parts. We tend to use
skeletons and published features for sharing geometry.

- Also, the system needs to check out a drawing format
(frm) when trying to check in the drawing using that
format.

I remember about some config.pro options for prevent some
unwanted check outs, but can
 
Here are the config options that we use as suggested by
our VAR, recommendations from PTC.

If these does not help it might be that the library
components were checked in with an earlier version of
ProE or that they were not verified nefore check in.
