Hello, I have attached the Excel and P10 sheet. I'd like to read data from the second tab of the Excel sheet. The P10 sheet can read from the first tab of the sheet, but not the second tab. I don't know why.  Also, I am interested in reading the values in several columns. Is it better to do one column at time, or there are other options? Stuart and Werner helped me with a similar question on 8/29/20225. Thank you for your assistance!  Regards,Sam 

Hello all,I would like to install Thingworx Foundation 9.7.2 on a new server and would like to know if this version is compatible with Windows Server 2025 (since Windows Server 2022 will reach the end of standard support in 2026).Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi there, is there a way to declare a template for process plan assemblies? When I try to create one, "use template" is grayed out:  The main problem is, that there are no pre-defined orientations, which makes it unnecessary inconvenient to create drawing from that later.  I am using Creo 10.0.7.0  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3Hello,We are experiencing an issue with WTPart visualizations in our Windchill environment. The problem occurs in the following sequence:-When a user checks out a WTPart, the visualization immediately disappears (which may be normal behavior)-The user then makes changes to classification or other attributes (not CAD geometry)-After checking the WTPart back in, the visualization is not regeneratedCould you please advise on the correct configuration needed to ensure WTPart visualizations are properly regenerated after check-in when only attribute changes are made?Thank you

We are using KepServerEX6 (6.6.350.0) communicating to Control Logix PLCs.We want to upgrade the PLCs to Control Logix Firmware 20.58.How can I determine if they are compatible?

Hello,   just wondering how the default tolerance value works at new created dimension in drawing. Since i use mostly the +- symetric - would it be possible to set the default tolerance (maybe in drawing setup file) value this way?   Thanks in advance   T.

Hi,we have this scenario: a notebook HP ZBOOK STUDIO 16 G10 (Microsoft Windows 11 Ent 24H2), a HP THUNDERBOLT DOCK 280W G4 and a monitor PHILIPS 273V5L. We use PTC CREO 20.6.1.  The problem is this: when we open Drawing on the Philips monitor, the program crashes and closes all open programs. I attach the error that the event viewer reports. If we open Drawing on the laptop monitor, the program starts correctly. If I update the Nvidia video card driver, then the problem is solved for a while... Should I reinstall Drawing from scratch? Or should I reinstall Windows entirely? Thank you.Best regards,        

Hi all, Our client is running ThingWorx of version 9.3.4. They want to upgrade to higher version. Previously, when I did the upgradation, we faced various discrepancies related to extensions and mashup widgets. And also after consultation with fellow developers and Thingworx experts, I was suggested not to directly upgrade to the latest available version, but to a stable lower one. Hence, I am seeking support of this community, and asking to suggest a stable higher version of TWX that you haven't faced any issues after upgrading. Thank you.

HelloI have issues with matrix calcualtions.  I am calculating the stifness matrix of something but I want to multipy a matrix by a vector. But I want to put unknown variable in the vector so the resulting vector is a function of the variable. I am ataching pictures to illustrate what  I mean. Thanks for any help.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Transfer CAD/Part structure from one windchill installation to anotherDescription: Is there any method or a best practice to transfer a CAD assembly and its associated parts to a different windchill server? Historical information isnt required. Essentially need to delivery a duplicate CAD model and part structure to another windchill installation.

I installed creo 11 but it stated that its installed with a warning, which is that "Creo cannot detect the supported JRE version of Java 17 on your machine or the version installed is out-of-date and not registered. Creo supports either Oracle or Amazon Corretto Java 17. If you prefer to use Oracle, PTC recommends that you install Java 17 from here. If you prefer to use Amazon Corretto, you can install Java 17 from here.". What does this mean?

Say, if I want to define the expression of Euler's formula below in Mathcad, how should I finish the input for that? 

Hello, I am reading values from an Excel sheet. I was building on the answer that Werner had for one of the questions. I have attached both P10 sheet and the excel sheet i am reading from. I was able to read the values for some but not others. The problem is there are dashes at TPP3,TPP5,...  Thanks,Sam  

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has setup Thingworx Navigate to use SSO but only using Okta as the IDP and CAS. We're working on implementing SSO in our Windchill environments and thus our Thingworx Nav would need to be switched to SSO as well, since it integrates with Windchill. Our company has decided we will not use Ping Federate or another CAS and thus only Okta will be used for SSO. We've discussed this with PTC and they said that this is possible to do, but since it's not supported (without Ping Federate) they won't help, so we're on our own trying to set this up.  I'm more looking for guidance and what info would be needed to send to the Okta group so they can setup the app on their end to talk to Thingworx Navigate. Thanks!  

@JeffZemsky tagging Jeff if you want to weigh in from PTC perspective. This is somewhat a config mgmt discussion but also Part revision question. I've always seen Design View as having strong ties and linkages to CAD and we adopted the Manufacturing View to be that MBOM concept where things needed to vary. 99% of the time there is little difference in our instance and most of those differences can be accomplished by breaking build associations in the Design View.  Currently, there are two paths in managing the Mfg View structure, create a new view version off Design or revise the previous one if it exists. Aside from the obvious which one is more correct, are there other pros/cons to either approach? What does it mean if the Design View is at rev A and the Mfg View is at rev C? What is the true part rev you are building? We've been operating with rev syncing where CAD, Drawings and Parts share same Rev designator by practice. I can put in controls to extend that to the Mfg Vi

The Mathcad Prime Documentation tab contains two dropdowns for adding and removing space, respectively.   The Add Space button allows the addition of a single line or a page.  The Remove Space button allows the deletion of a single line or all empty space down to the next region (if any).     I frequently add extra pages to allow plenty of leeway for adding new regions in between existing ones.  I always find it a bit of a nuisance having to press the Add/Remove buttons twice to tidy up the worksheet afterwards.   I don't think I've ever used the single line option for either adding or removing spaces.  It is almost trivially easy to carry out these tasks using the Enter or Delete/Backspace keys, switching to Draft Mode if necessary to ensure the correct cursor position (which is almost certainly necessary to use the single-line button options, anyway).   So, I was wondering if anybody makes use of the single line options, or would miss th

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Performing Global Search on "Name & Number" only behavior, without Index Search when users select a check box added next to global search FieldDescription: Hello PTC Community ! I'm looking for a way to implement the use case requested by my client on Windchill 12.0.2.7 and Windchill 13.0.2.6 (upgrade in progress). At first I proposed to automatically set following user's preferences values when he checks the box:Enable Index Search to "No"/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/search/includeIndexGlobalSearchKeyword Search Behavior to "Name & Number" (3)/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/search/controlKeywordSearchBehaviourBut this solution implies to save previous users's values to reset them whhile unchecking the box and the client wants that we study a way to implement the use case without impacting those preferences. So, I tried to override the ootb DATA_ONLY component builder: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.mvc.builders.Sea

Having some trouble with flattening a small harness with 2 wires. It's a very simple harness with a connector on one end and then 2 eyelets on the other. Ideally for the drawing Id like to have each wire coming out relative to where it would on the real connector. The picture shows about as good as I can get it.  Anything I try seems to screw it up in some form. Using the move segment tool works in some cases but if for example I want to move the red wire to the correct position I can move it but as soon as I confirm it it disappears from the window and in the model tree that part of the flatten harness turns red. So I delete it and have to re-flatten that section.  If I try and auto fan it it makes a big mess where the cables are twisted together. I have tried using the twist command but I can't seem to get that working either. There are times where I can get the connector to look right with the wires but then there is a twist going towards the eyelets and I still
