Hi,I installed Creo 13.4.1.0. When I click on "Creo AI Assistant," the program prompts me to log in; I enter the same email and password I use for the PTC portal, but it doesn't work.Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to create new login credentials?Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.

I'd like to retrieve the license count and consumption that we have in Windchill so that we can report on that in Dynatrace. I'm looking for any opportunities to retrieve via API, output to logs, or any other creative way to retrieve that information from Windchill. Being able to see our license consumption in Dynatrace would be very helpful.  Has anyone else done something like that before?

This article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS334782 says we can’t set our task deadline to today’s date.  It keeps saying it’s in the past.  Is there a workaround that anyone has found.  We often have tasks that go to the user the day it’s due and we’d like to set that date to today’s date.

I have an edge case where I need to impersonate another user in a workflow transition. The documentation refers to the executeAs feature (https://support.ptc.com/help/codebeamer/r3.3/en/#page/codebeamer/user_guide/ug_workflow_actions.html#wwID0ETBO1) and I have configured that in the application configuration and I even restarted the server but I don’t see that option showing up as an action or option. Where is this supposed to appear when configuring the workflow?

I am using Codebeamer Release 3.1 and Datecode3.1.0.0 We have a performance problem in a specific project due to high numbers of link between items with another project and a little complexity for computed fields. This cause the error 504 Gateway timeout and it becomes impossible to edit/create items. We already have increased the time to reach timeout up to 300 seconds. We would like to reduce the loading time of the items, not increasing more time. It's a blocking point and we must improve the performance as soon as possible. Here are the errors that I faced HTTP Error 504: Gateway Timeout

Hello! I have a question regarding exporting information from the .supervisors type field.When using a template, I'm using this field syntax: <<item.supervisors» Of course it’s working, but it’s exporting the username (like X3Z5S3) instead of real name (like John Smith) as it is in codebeamer item view.Is there any way to convert the way how the template handle this situation? Thank you

Hi there,I just realized, that the Critical Patch Set Bundle 13.0.2.13 changes the configuration value of wt.webserver.protocol in wt.properties.xconf from “https” to “http”.“Server Status” in “Site → Utilities” then shows “SITE NOT RESPONDING” under section “File Servers”.At this point You cannot access the home page, detail pages or workspace content.Steps to reproduce:Installation of Windchill 13.0.0.0 on an “empty” system with example data and demo user Enabling SSL according to https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.0.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCInstallConfigGuide/WCInstall_HTTPSApacheWCConfig.html Installing Critical Patch Set 13.0.2.13 with option “keep Webserver configuration” To Fix the issue:start Windchill - Shell and check with xconfmanager, where wt.webserver.protocol is defined xconfmanager -d wt.webserver.protocol That should give You something like this: Property information for 'wt.webserver.protocol': Values: - https Locations: - file:/D

Hi,I did see this link regarding the MCP connection- https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/ai_plugin/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/document_vault/WCAIAssistAIPluginMCPServer.htmlAre there any charges if my copilot connects to the MCP?

Using Creo 10 on Windows 11.   How do I write the metrics and reports to a user folder using the config_init.mc file? Target Directory“C:\data\<username>\Creo10\mc_report” Some details that may help. 1) We do set a username system variable that I could key into.2) The “Creo10” folder level is the working directory which we set. Do I focus on the NT or not labeled options.DIR_REPORT_NT or DIR_REPORTThanks for your advise.

Hallo, ich habe kürzlich einen PTC Education Account erstellt, um Creo 13 kostenlos als Schüler zu nutzen. Beim Versuch, über den Installer oder my.ptc.com/licensing/dashboard eine Node-Locked-Lizenz zu generieren, bekomme ich die Meldung “Access Denied-Insufficent Privileges” (fehlende berechtigungen: “License Managment Reporting” und “License Managment Licensing”). Könnt ihr diese Berechtigung für meinen Account freischalten?Vielen Dank 

I’d wanted to model one of those twisted flouresent light bulbs for a while, thought I’d do it for fun.  Only, instead of a simple barrel shape like they are, I made it look (though not measured) like a normal incandescent bulb.  I actually HAD a watch with radium numbers and hour and minute hand tips that was given to me as a kid by my grandfather (RIP).  When the big radium paranoia happened in the late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s my mom made my dad throw it away.  Bummer. 

Hello everyone,We are experiencing an unexpected behavior when editing an attribute on a Process Plan within the Process Plan Browser. I would like to check if this is a known bug (SPR) in Windchill 12.0.2.9 or if there is any workaround/configuration fix available.Environment: Windchill Version: 12.0.2.9 Module: MPMLink (Process Plan Browser) Object Type: MPMProcessPlan Issue Description: When updating a custom string attribute directly from the Attributes tab (child tab) of the Process Plan Browser: Value gets appended as an array: If the current value is 1, and we delete 1 and type 2, upon refreshing/reloading the browser, the attribute value turns into [1, 2]. Cannot clear the attribute: If we delete the entire text to leave the field completely blank and save, the previous value is not cleared and persists after refreshing. What we have already verified: Attribute Definition: Checked in Type and Attribute Management — the attribute is explicitly configured as Single-Valued (

When creating a Change Notice from a Part Details Page Actions it does not add the part automatically to the affected objects table in the CA. IS there a preference for this ? 

Hello all,I’m interesting in hearing from anyone that has used the Creo UG/NX Collaboration tool?We are starting manufacturing a product in the UK that is currently manufactured by our sister company in Germany. They have all the cad data in NX, but I think they use windchill as data management.  The question is, does this extension really allow you to edit the NX data in CREO.  I have seen something similar in Solidworks where it interrogates the CREO model and basically redraws the part in Solidworks automatically.  This produced something that looked correct on the outside but the way the model was generated didn’t make much sense and consequently made editing difficult.I suspect that I’m going to have to redraw the parts on CREO manually as they are mostly sheet metal components, and I am doubtful that the conversion will be seamless.Does anyone have experience of this?  Bearing in mind these converted files will be used for manufacture and be subject to revisons.  Brian MenaghDesi

Hi everyone, Reference topic: Midnight Theme not loading from default. | Community has anybody figured out how to change icons when using Midnight theme? Most of them are OK as they are, but some (such as Edit references) are almost indistinguishable from the background. I found the folder, where the icons are stored (Common Files\text\resource), but unfortunately it seems, that when Creo starts, icons are not loaded from here. I also tried deleting creo_parametric_customization.ui files in CommonFiles/text and in Start folder, but to no success. After trials and discussions with AIs, it seems that the only way is to create small mapkey macros for all such problematic icons and replacing system icons with custom ones where I can use my light variants of the icons. Is there some other way that you know of, how to do it easier? 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.2.9 How to create a dxf export file of a flat pattern configuration from SolidWorks using Windchill and Creo View Adapter 11.0? The flat pattern is created as a configuration.

A preview of something that is being tested within CREOSON, looking for feedback and ideas.Keep these questions in mind as you read:Do I (or my company) care about my data going to someone else’s AI / Cloud? What use cases, processes, interfaces cause pain today? How could this change my day? Why do I care?The intent is to provide a FREE AI MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface within CREOSON that enables your AI Agents to connect to and drive Creo Parametric either as a specific set of contextual tasks - or within the context of other systems/environment workflows (e.g. YOUR models, standards, documents, EPR, PLM, etc.).  Seems like this would be super powerful, and provide a lot of utility. This screen capture is an example of an AI Agent validating a connection to a new CREOSON MCP Endpoint (prototype currently). CREOSON - AI MCP Endpoint First Connection Test ResultThe CREOSON MCP Server enables you to choose/bring your own AI (Commercial Platform or Local AI).  The screenshot abo

Hi everyone, i have tried all settings in Creo illustrator standard (12.1) and have changed my line thickness for 2D and it still no luck in seeing two different line thickness when opened in Adobe illustrator.Below is what i have done.Render mode set to HLR Change pen settings - In File/Options/illustration/Pens/Thick/edit - changed 0.35 - Apply Change pen settings - In File/Options/illustration/Pens/Thin/edit - changed 0.25 - Apply Export to svg - File/Save Figure as/Save as illustration file/File name - Tick Thick/Thin lines - Tick Polylines - Tick Fixed Size - Include hotspots for callouts - Tick Combine hot spots for same item. then click “OK” Open file in Adobe illustrator and all lines are the same thickness, so no difference in line thicknessNOTE: Only other change is my 3D page size to W170mm x H242mm            When viewing in Creo Illustrator HLR i do not see line thickness difference either, not sure if you are supposed to.Thanks for any helpKind regards Gareth

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.13 Currently we are looking for a way to upload local files to the representation of EPMDocument. We think using custom publish mechanism via doPublish API can be a solution, and checking the web page below that introduces usages of the doPublish API. https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.1.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_BusLogicCust_WCVisualization_CustPublish.ht ml However, we are not sure if this API can be used without Windchill Visualization Service configuration. Currently we do not have any WVS configuration, and as our understanding, configuring a WVS worker and letting WVS publish workflow works properly require bit tough development effort. Hence, if the doPublish API must be used upon a proper WVS configuration, we will look for another way. Could you kindly answer the question if the doPublish API can be used without Windchill Visualization Service configurati

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 (Datecode CPS 12.0.0.3). I encountered an issue during the .drw conversion process where the geometry from a *different* drawing was pulled in and converted into DWG and Creo View formats. While other drawings converted normally, this specific one incorporated content from another drawing. The converted filename matches the WT Part, but the actual file content corresponds to a different drawing. However, the drawing opens correctly when viewed in Creo. How can I identify and verify if other instances of this issue exist?
