There are many cases in an engineering workflow where the creation of a new document requires the starting point to be based on an existing template or seed file, such as engineering change request forms or schematics templates with drawing borders.

To facilitate this, the attach file mechanism on document create allows a seed file to be called by name and attached to a new document, automatically and without the need for user intervention. When created, the attached seed file is renamed from its original file name and assumes the name of its document parent.

Each document created with a seed file using this feature can have only one file attached automatically. Therefore, each seed file template document should have only one electronic file attached.
