In Help Center there's a topic "Filtering Gathering Parts" which in the end says: "To assign a gathering part attribute to a Windchill part:1.Set the value of the server-side preference, Operation > Auto Associate > Phantom Assembly Override Attribute Name to a BOOLEAN customer-defined soft attribute2.In the CAD application, set the attribute to yesAuto Associate creates a Gathering Part attribute on the Windchill part when it is created."Filtering Gathering Parts Does this mean:- create a soft attribute to EPMDocument- enter this as value to the mentioned preference- in CAD application use this to define whether the associated WTPart should be a Gathering Part or not- when the EPMDoc is checked in the related WTPart's Gathering Part attribute is updated accordingly This being a "customer-defined soft attribute" on the EPMDoc changing the value iterates the EPMDoc?While Gathering Part -attribute on WTPart is a

Hello Community,I’m back after some time away from MathCAD due to other types of projects. This time, I need your expertise to help me resolve the following:I have several 3D zones defined by two opposite diagonal points, as shown in the figure below. I have prepared the zones as an m × 6 matrix, where each row is [x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2]. Row 0 → Zone 1, Row 1 → Zone 2, etc.I also prepared a list of points as an N × 3 matrix. Let PTS be N × 3 with columns [x y z]:My inVolume formula is producing the correct Boolean answer (1 or 0) depending on whether a point lies inside the volume or not. However, my matrix implementation is not producing the expected result. I would like also to work with units of length.    Attached is the MathCAD Prime 7 worksheet. You can reply in either MathCAD Prime 7 or 11.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: How Work Instructions in MPMLink can be utilized for technological operations (milling, turning, cutting etc.)?Description: Are Work Instructions in MPMLink designed to support technological operations (milling, turning, cutting etc.) or more suitable for operations regading assembling of final products/sub-assemblies? How to set other ilustrations than from Creo Ilustrate/Creo View in Work instructions? What are best practices?

Currently using Creo Schematics 12, trying to perfect the CID-to-WID process. One issue that I have noticed is that if a dataset it applied to a circuit, in the circuit interface diagram, then that dataset does not get transferred to the wiring diagram. For example, if create a circuit in the CID, and assign a dataset to this circuit (20 AWG, BLACK, TXL), when I place the corresponding wire in the WID, I would expect the wire to be 20AWG, BLACK, TXL.However, this is not the case.  All datasets have to be reassigned to each wire. Am I overlooking a parameter, or anything?  Is this working as intended? If it's working as intended, why can't the circuit dataset be applied to each corresponding wire?  Otherwise you're duplicating efforts, thus creating more work than necessary.

Currently using KepServerEx V6 (V6.14.263.0) and unable to open the OPC UA Configuration Manager utility. This is making it difficult to trust new certificates.

Hello.I am currently reviewing a new project.I am considering whether to configure the new server with Windows Server 2022 or Windows Server 2025.If KepserverEX works properly on Windows Server 2025, I would like to configure it with Windows Server 2025.Could you let me know whether this product is compatible with Windows Server 2025?

Going crazy here so an extra set of eyes can't hurt. I have a 13.0.2 Dev system (empty) and I am setting up PartsLink to match my Prod server for testing. I am admin and here are my licenses since I am linking in this thread: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Issues-with-Classification-Attribute/m-p/926928#M77761  I see the classification attribute on my Part Create/edit screen but Nodes do not show up. 1. Created my string resuable attribute: partClassification 2. Created Global attribute on Part object and added Classification constraint: I used default namespace string of "com.ptc.csm.default_clf_ namespace" since I am old school. 3. Created a namespace using that same name and a root node. There are some that are instantiable so I know that is not it.  Did I miss a step? Is it possible to clear and start over? I tried deleting the constraint on the partClassification attribute but no luck.  

I want to use the java api to run a report and get the result.It appears, from the documentation that running a report creates the output in the servers data/tmp directory.From docs: "For security reasons, all file references on the PTC RV&S server are restricted to the data/tmp directory in the server installation directory."Using the java api, is there any way to get the result of a report ?thanks

Hello, I'm having a problem with the dimension background. I want the hatch background to cover the hatch. Unfortunately, this can't be set, and the hatching under the dimension is still visible. I'm working in Creo 10.

I've been exploring various research papers and online resources regarding four-bar mechanisms, and I noticed that most of them include complex and advanced equations for motion and force analysis. However, my goal at this stage is to perform a basic four-bar linkage position analysis using Mathcad Prime 10. I'm dont often work  with mechanisms in Mathcad Prime, and I’d appreciate any help or references that can guide me in building a worksheet from scratch.If anyone can point me to beginner-friendly materials, share a worksheet, or walk me through the step-by-step setup, it would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for your support! 

I was following this tutorial to setup a MQTT connection between AWS and my KEPServer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr08r8B2wQE Both the KEPServer and AWS IoT Core are configured on the same machine but the connection is not working properly. What tutorial should I follow to properly setup this connection? 

Hi experts,I experienced the following behaviour.I set up an assembly with AFX standard parts (Bosch, Item or comparable), no customizations going on. Adding connectors leads to additional material cuts in the profiles where needed. When I now create automatic drawings from within AFX these holes are not dimensioned at all. When I add a rectangular cut for example, it is fully dimensioned (s. Drawing_Bosch_Profile.png). Another funny thing about this is that when I use steel or alu beams everything gets dimensioned (s. Drawing_Alu_Beam.png). Any ideas what I'm missing here? Tested it with Creo11 and Creo12 so far.

Hi All,    I’m working on a ThingWorx application where users stay on the dashboard for extended periods. I want to implement a session idle timeout warning – similar to how most enterprise web apps display a popup like: “You've been idle for 20 minutes. Do you want to continue your session?” If the user doesn't respond within the countdown period, the session should expire or redirect to a logout page. Has anyone implemented this kind of “Are you still there?” modal in a ThingWorx Mashup?Thanks,

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: A CAD Engineer is working on an assembly in Windchill 13.0. The assembly contains both: Standard Library Parts (e.g., screws, bearings, fasteners, etc.) stored in a controlled Library context. Design-Specific Parts that need to be copied for a new product variant. When performing Save As: The business requirement is that Library Parts must always be reused (to avoid duplication of standards). Only the design-specific parts should be copied automatically. Current challenge: Windchill sets either all dependents to Reuse (with preference “Enable Save Selected Objects Only”) or requires the user to manually adjust each dependent, which is error-prone.Description: In Windchill 13.0, when performing a Save As on a CAD assembly, the system does not provide an option to automatically distinguish between Library parts and non-Library parts.With the preference “Enable Save Selected Objects Only” enabled, only the top-level assembly is copied, and all child

Hello, i've been tryign ot designate created command in PTC Creo JS API and didn't succed at all. Creo API can't find message file. I've been also trying to create absolute path to message file but it didn't work too. Here is my code example:// 1) Get the active Creo session var session = pfcGetCurrentSession(); // 2) Unique id for your command (make it unique per run while testing) var COMMAND_NAME = "MyJsSampleCommand_" + (new Date().getTime()); // 3) Implement the action listener var actionListener = pfcUICommandActionListener.create({ OnCommand: function (commandId) { print("Hello from " + COMMAND_NAME + "!"); }, OnCommandEnable: function (commandId) { return pfcCommandStatus.pfcCommandStatus_Enabled; } }); // 4) Create the UI command var uiCmd = session.UICreateCommand(COMMAND_NAME, actionListener); // 5) Designate it so it can be placed in Screen Customization uiCmd.Designate( "message.txt", // Message file "MyCmdLabel", // Label key from ui_message.txt "My

Hi Community,Currently, we deploy by simply exporting projects from DEV and importing them into TEST/PROD. This works, but it also allows quick changes directly on PROD, which isn’t ideal for tracking and versioning.I’ve seen that PTC recommends packaging as extensions – which gives versioning, rollback, and cleaner deployments – but it also means every change requires a new package and PROD configs can get overwritten.👉 What’s the best recommended way in practice?Stick with simple export/import?Or always use extensions with versioning?How do you handle quick fixes vs. safe, reproducible deployments?Thanks for your advice!

Fiz o download da versão 12, fiz a instalação, cadastrei a licença mas ao tentar abrir o programa esta aparecendo esse log de erro anexo, alguém sabe me explicar o que devo fazer ? 

Hi,I am a uni student who uses Creo 9.0 student edition as part of my degree, we are required to follow the student edition download procedure. I did so and it was working for almost 6 months. I took a 1 month break from creo. I went to reopen, and it said license expired, I couldn't find how to renew it so I deleted creo and all ptc files in order to re-install from scratch. After installing it, I typed in the license number I was given and now it says status is "Not Suitable". I can't find any information on this issue. If you can help me in any way, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello All, I have attached P9 mathcad sheet. I am struggling to do four "if" statements. I have  four different exposures A,B,C, and D. I managed to do up to exposure B. I just did exposure "B" and I don't remember how i did it.I am not able to add another "else" statement for exposure C, D.  Thank you!Sam

When I am working I screensnip and paste sources I am using for my calculations on the side of the document for easy reference. If I try to copy them further down the same worksheet or into a different worksheet often the image doesn't paste and instead I get a "Browse for Image' button. THE IMAGE IS BEING COPIED FROM THE SAME WORKSHEET!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? It doesn't always happen, which makes it even more frustrating!! The problem is that the image is a screensnip and may have been taken by someone else using the document or not saved to my computer, so there is no file for which to browse.  I am kind of new to mathcad, so maybe there is something I am doing wrong, but this is a very aggravating problem to have.  Attached is an example of what I am talking about. Some of the images pasted, but not all of them.Also some screensnips.   Any help is appreciated!!

Hello, I defined an electron volt in terms of Joules, and tried to convert Joules to electron volts in prime 11, and got an error saying electron volt was undefined.   What am I doing wrong? I get the same error when I replace the J with the eV in the 2nd to last expression.  This worked in MathCAD 15. Thanks for the help, Paul
