Question

Pdm

Hi alls,

I have a Creo Engineer III package.

So it contains Windchild PDMlink and Projectlink.

Last time I've used something like this, it was called ''Intralink 3.4'',
few time ago...

I'm working alone (on just one computer) and don't have any kind of server.

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to use those tools without any additional
bought.

My aim is that it would be fine to have a tool that could help me for
renaming, duplicate models.

I don't need to use sharing functions of Pdm, as I'm working alone.

So, can someone tell me if I can do something with Pdmlink and Projectlink
or is it completely useless in my case ?

Thanks for any advice,

GB

That's an interesting product, at least from the minimal description there. I couldn't find much else about it. I did find the 'Getting Started Guide' [1], but I didn't see if it was already available or not (M030 of WC 10.1 is due this quarter). It promises easy to install and manage Creo (well, Creo 2 & CEP 5.0, no WF4 or Creo 1) & even our Solidworks (2011, 2012 & 2013) data. Frankly, it sounds like just what we need.

I'm sure the kicker will be that we'll have to buy it even though we've owned their flagship product (Intralink then PDMlink) for years without using it. "I know we forced you to buy and maintain a Cadillac that you can't use for years, but now we have this fabulous Honda that is perfect for you. You should buy the Honda; it's exactly what you need! Of course, you'll still have to keep paying to maintain the Caddy too, ok?" I hope not, but experience tells me otherwise.

Doug,

I agree. It sounds like what we small shops have been asking for, for
years. Interestingly, I get 3-5 calls a year about back maintenance but
I've never heard of this offering before. Wouldn't you think that
companies who own less than 5 seats would be their target audience for
this and they would at least send them some info about it?

Sounds like another potentially good product that PTC isn't really sure
they want to sell. Reminds me of ProductLink... Wonder how long this
one will last. (probably not long since no one knows about it)

I remember reading or hearing that this was supposed to be ready Q1 of
this year, but don't quote me on that.

There were some murmurs on the exploders last year about PTC developing something simple, I assume this is the fruit of that. From the looks of it it's brand new; in fact I'm not even certain it's available yet.

I'm going to ask my VAR about it to see what he knows at this point.

There was a talk by PTC on this subject at the conference last June. At the time it was still just a glimmer in their eye. This is the first I've seen it advertised.

I also remember being contacted by someone at PTC saying they had a "lite"
version in the works.

I remember now where I heard about it "officially".

It was at our last local user group meeting, in mid December. Our VAR
gave a quick sales PowerPoint on it, and what it could do and couldn't do.
I still don't recall when it was going to be available, or if it was
something that was available right now.

Our VAR indicated that it was a matter of answering a series of questions,
and letting the install go. They estimated that it took several hours to
perform the install and configuration once all of the questions were
answered, and this was all automatic. No user configuration is necessary,
other than the up front questions.

Doesn't look like it supports Creo Parametric!?!?!?

One question for you, why do you need a Windchill Workgroup Manager for
Creo Parametric when it can run directly in your Creo Parametric 2.0
embedded browser and tie directly to Windchill?

Just above the list of workgroup managers, it lists capabilities including support for Creo Parametric CAD documents. I guess it's deployed by default so they don't list it with the others.

The following Windchill capabilities are included and preconfigured in PTC
Windchill PDM Essentials:
○ Support for managing Creo Parametric CAD documents
○ Support for managing documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT)
○ Server-side representation publishing and client-side viewing
◆ Creo View Lite is included for client 3-D viewing and markup.
◆ Creo Parametric CAD worker, publishing adapter, and the associated
license are included and automatically configured for publishing
○ Windchill Directory Server (for managing users)
