Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Please refer to the attached image. As it can be seen, the table contains three objects. It can be seen that two of these objects represent two different revisions of the same part instance ('JW-BIKESN01' at Rev A & B).Description: I would like to configure Windchill so that the table only shows the latest revision of each different part instance. Is this possible?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am performing a an import of data from a source environment. Using the import/export management tool, I am presented with the following error when trying to do the import. "WTDocument: 123 ( 000073 ) A.2" cannot be imported because the revision "A" is invalid" The issue can be overcome when I check the "Resolve overridable conflicts" check box. I have checked the version sequence on both the source and target environment and they are identical.Description: Can anybody explain why I am receiving this error message?

I am using Creo 11. I have separate .hol file. I want to write code in that .hol file so that "1 X" should not be visible in the hole note. Plz help, how can I modify this line{0:&PATTERN_NO}× /{0:&FASTENER_ID} × {0:&THREAD_DEPTH[.1]}<ctrl-a>/<ctrl-b>{0:&DRILL_DEPTH[.1]}V so that Pattern_No will not visible if the value is 1.

Hello,I have a PLC program which send the DTL from the PLC, although I can log the timestamp based on the SQL side, is there anyway to log DTL directly from PLC to Kepware with the new/upcomming updates ?

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.1.0Hello,is there a way to insert line breaks in Mathcad expressions, especially when using READEXCEL with long file paths? I need to read two matrices from different files and combine them using AUGMENT(A, B), but the full expressions do not fit on one worksheet line.Is line wrapping supported, or is there a recommended workaround?

Hi, I currently use LinkMaster to map tags between my field devices and PLC. I want to get rid of LinkMaster and do the mapping in Kepware Server. I currently have Version 6 of KepServerEx. Do I need to update to V7 in order to use the advanced tag linked tags feature or is that available in the version I have now? Also, is there a way to just export my LinkMaster tags and import into Kepware or does it have to be a manual migration? Thanks 🙂

先前客戶在 ODBC 做讀寫，再透過 OPC UA 提供給 InTouch。每日固定時間會出現數值異常。我們已經更換過 Server 環境，也更換過資料庫（MSSQL / MySQL）。若直接接收溫度資料則是正常的，使用 Local Historian 也是正常的。我們嘗試過許多測試方法，目前的結論是：只要資料經過 ODBC，就會發生異常。異常現象大約持續幾分鐘，在這段時間內，A 項數值會突然升高，B 項數值也會升高（沒有太明顯的規律）。而且只會發生在特定時間。想詢問 PTC 或其他夥伴，是否有遇過類似案例，或有任何可能的原因與建議方向。Previously, the customer used ODBC for read/write operations, and the data was then provided to InTouch through OPC UA. Data abnormalities occur at a fixed time every day.We have already replaced the server environment and also changed the database (MSSQL / MySQL). When temperature data is received directly, the values are normal. Using Local Historian also works normally.We have tried many testing approaches, and the current conclusion is that the abnormality only occurs when the data passes through ODBC.The abnormal behavior lasts for a few minutes. During this time, the value of item A suddenly increases, and item B also increases (without a clear pattern).This issue only occurs at a specific time each day.We would

I use KepserverEX6.14 for linking Rockwell and siemens PLC's.We have 207 link tags in both directions. But we have troubles with 1 Siemens 1512 PLC when the communication drops (without voltage or network troubles). After the communication restores, kepserver can read the datablocks but CAN'T write to the datablock. The solution is then disable-enable tags, after this everything works like it should. My datatypes are boolean's and words (not defaults).There is a scan rate of 2000ms for PLC values. And the linked tags are written when input changes.I have tested with Auto-Demotion on and off (also with 'Discard Requests when Demoted' on/off) What can i try else?

Hi, I need to connect to KepserverEX 5.8 in a Windows 2000 Pro/Sp4 workstation with Ewon Flexy 205.The goal is using the ewon (in this case 5 of them) as middle point to communicate s7-300 PLC with Wonderware 8.0 using KepserverEX 5.8 as the OPC server. When configurating KepserverEX 5.8 channel i use OPC UA and configure UA server in the channel (see attachment 1) and when i try to import items on  the device to import the tags of the Ewons an error appear (see attachement 2).See attachement 3 for ewon configuration.Any suggestion to address this?

Hello, im setting up tags in Kepware where previously we have used RS linx, the booleans tags are all showing 0 when it should be a 1 and are not changing at all. The quality of the tag is good and its showing correctly (1) in RS linx but a 0 in kepware, anyone got any advice? Kepware server 7

I am trying to get a hold of Sales in order to purchase additional license options on my Kepware OPC Server package.  I have tried submitting a ticket but I received a "you are blocked" response to that.  I've tried calling but after being on hold for nearly an hour, it just disconnects me.  I mean, really?  I'm wanting to buy stuff from you.  Does PTC really make it that difficult to make a purchase?  Can someone PLEASE contact me? m.barnes@amrize.com

It would be useful if we could repeat a Geo Tol in a drawing without always starting with the simple "tolerance of precision" I seem to remember in the past when it would start with the previous instance.These are in the drawing, not the model. I sincerely hope that's not the problem. In fact that couldn't be the problem because if they were "in the model" they would simply "show" I would rather add the tolerances in the drawings.

Hello folks,   a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

I'm trying to set up a design study where I rotate a crankshaft and the load vectors and magnitudes vary based on the rotation angle.  I was told I could create a user parameter, which is the angle, and then link the load values and/or directions to the angle parameter using relations. So when the angle value changes, the loads change accordingly.   Can someone show me how I would write a relation like that? or Does someone have another way to do this?   Currently the crankshaft is an assembly file where the load vector is defined with a coordinate system.  So when the assembly angle (crankshaft angle) is changed the csys changes to apply the bearing load at the correct vector.

Hi. even with this tutorial and using the conde showed in the .pdf file i can't renew my expired license. Any other way?

Hey, I have a few mapkeys where I use the pause with the resume prompt/popup. (I've included a picture for clarity) There is no need to hit cancel but if you do click cancel instead of "Resume" it leaves you in an undesired state. The preferred fix would be to remove the "cancel" button entirely and only show "Resume". Is this possible and if so, how. I've tried modifying lines in the config file with no luck so far. Thanks!  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0After installing PTC Creo (11.00.07), I attempted to open various files. However, only assembly (.asm) and part (.prt) files will open. When I view a part, the background is completely black.Here are the errors that I facedNo error messages. but Despite successfully creating and saving new sketches, the part view still shows a black background. Changing appearance settings did not resolve the issue. I still could not visit the part

使用者希望使用有效期限為10 年或更長的自簽名憑證。使用原有的KEPServerEX客戶端時，只需一個憑證即可實現雙向通訊。然而，由於架構較為複雜，目前似乎無法在多個系統間重複使用自簽名憑證。請確認自簽名客戶端憑證是否可以被多個伺服器使用。OPC UA證書會自動續約或延長有效期限嗎？如果用戶端憑證過期，是否會影響現有系統？例如，是否會導致EAP無法連線等問題？ The user would like to use a self-signed certificate with a validity period of 10 years or longer. With the original KEPServerEX client, only one certificate is needed for mutual communication.However, it seems that a self-signed certificate cannot currently be reused across multiple systems, possibly due to the more complex architecture. Please confirm whether a self-signed client certificate can be used by multiple servers.Will **OPC UA certificates automatically renew or extend their validity period?If the client certificate expires, will it affect the existing system? For example, could it cause issues such as EAP being unable to connect? 

Hi,I looked through the API guide and downloaded the examples. The last part of the code displays 'output1' in message box. It does not have example on how to show the matrixoutput1.Can you help with this? I need to get matrix from the sheet. 

Is it possible to add a Datum Reference Frame CSY to an annotation state?  If its not supported now, what work-arounds are people currently using? To my understanding, the DRF must be displayed in the model IAW Y14.41 (2018) Section 11.2.1.    DRF's were optional in Y14.5, but are required in Y41.41. I haven't been successful with "Reference" feature on the Model Tab, or the "Establish DRF" in GDT Advisor.  Example Image from Creo 12Excerpt from Y14.41 for example display of DRF's. 

Hey there. I've been trying all sorts of different ways to try and get this solver to work. Different errors depending on the way I approach it. I believe it should solve. None working. all help would be amazing. Really the two outputs i care about are R_o and h_2.Thanks!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: User wants to create a report using report builder, that allows to specify container, but by using dropdown, not by typing manually the container name. This behaviour is documented in case CS256206 and it seems nothing was done to provide the solution for that, so asking if anyone found workaround.Description: User wants to create a report using report builder, that allows to specify container, but by using dropdown, not by typing manually the container name. This behaviour is documented in case CS256206 and it seems nothing was done to provide the solution for that, so asking if anyone found workaround. If report builder is not capable of doing something like this, then is there a way to prepare JSP input page that will have some kind of container picker and pass the information to actual query builder logic? I've seen some custom-input pages but they are really odd and difficult to understand.
