I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.7Is is possible to have a Deliverable with multiple linked Plan Activities, in a Product container, have its % Complete automatically updated as the completion of activities is updated?It seems like you can only have the Deliverable % Complete auto-update if you have only one linked Activity and the Plan has the " Link deliverables with project activities" checked when you create the Plan, but then you can only link one activity. Here's an example of my use-case:I have a WBS structure organized by product function. Each function may have a "Release Drawings" activity, for example. I'd like to create a deliverable that consolidates all "Release Drawings" activities and have it's % Complete reflect the % Complete of all linked activities.

Good evening,I just wanted to download the student version of Creo 10, this also worked at the beginning. But now I have the trail version and not like my classmates the student version. Can I upgrade this in Creo or do I have to download creo again? If so, what do I have to do differently to not download the trail version. With kind regards  

Hi @SweetPeasHub @skunks . Thanks for the explanation in this topic attached. For a guy wire in tension, I have defined a beam element using a series of points just as you have showed but the issue that I am facing is these tiny elements of the beams do not seem to be in contact for some reason and the prestress analysis for wires in tension fails. I had defined a rigid link between all these points that make up the beam. Is there any better / correct approach to constrain these tiny beam elements to stay connected? Please guide.

Hi everyone,   I have a mashup setup with a popup where user can create a new entry.When the button on this popup is clicked, it first creates a new entry in the database through a ThingWorx service.Once the service completes successfully, a new popup opens where the user continues the process. The issue I observed is that some users click the button multiple times, because the service execution takes around 1–2 seconds before the new popup appears — this causes multiple duplicate entries in the database.   To fix this, I changed the logic so that the button is disabled immediately after the first click, and it is only re-enabled after the service is complete.This works well when everything runs fine.   However, I now have one new issue:If the service fails (e.g., timeout, backend issue, or validation error), the button remains disabled forever, since I am only using the “ServiceInvokeCompleted” event. My question: Is there a way in ThingWorx Mashup to detect servi

Does anyone know how to download Simulate in applications tab on PTC Creo 12 - University Edition? It is not available for me and I need it for an assignment due tomorrow. Please help. 

Hi everyone, I’m working with the team in charge to move to MBE, and I’ve run into a challenge I hope someone can help with.I’m trying to remove the general linear tolerances that appear on every part (see attachment 1). I experimented with setting the "tol_Display" option to "no", which does remove the general tolerances, but unfortunately, it also hides all the local tolerances on features of size (see attachment 2 and 3).Has anyone found a way to remove just the general linear tolerances while keeping the local ones visible?I’ve attached a reference image to show what I’m working with. Any tips, workarounds, or settings I might have missed would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Hello, I just wanted to ask regarding Arbortext layout editor. Is this a standalone software or does it work when you install Arbortext editor? Upon checking the software download tab I only see the Arbortext  editor and no Arbortext layout editor.  Thank you. 

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Issue occurs using Mathcad Prime v9.0 and printing a file to PDF using either Adobe PDF or Bluebeam PDF.When PDF-ing Mathcad Prime files that use "Areas," which are collapsible containers for portions of the file, the contents of the Area are printed as raster images instead of text. This is problematic for several reasons:1. Rasterized text is not word-searchable or selectable2. File size balloons considerably compared to text3. The PDF takes much longer to print since the text must be converted to raster by the PDF distiller.Is there a workaround or has this issue been addressed in newer releases of Mathcad Prime?

We are upgrading from Windchill 12.0 to Windchill 13.0 on the test server, and I see the license count on the Production server has doubled compared to the previous license count once done with the Test upgrade. We are using local LDAP and not enterprise LDAP is that the issue or any other reason?

The linux installer for Foundation 10.0.1 and Flow 10.0.1 always fail with the following error:Configuring Installer...

Hi have quite the extensive Hole chart that fills 2 sheets in my Creo 10 Drawing.All was going well until I noticed I lost my Hole Designations that tells me in the hole chart its dimensions.I have had one other person have the same experience.Anyone know how to get them back?

The values of a symmetric function f(x, y) are calculated and entered into a table using the matrix(m, n, f) function. However, taking into account the function's symmetry effectively doubles the computational effort. How can I eliminate this double computational effort while taking the function's symmetry into account?

This isn't directly a Thingworx problem but for the past several days at least I have found the PTC Knowledge base search page to be broken. The page loads the normal PTC header and footer but no additional content appears on the page making the knowledge base resource unusable and inaccessible. The issue persists through a cache clear and computer reboot and occurs in both Firefox and Edge browsers.Does anyone else find this issue? I search the knowledge base frequently when developing and would like to continue doing so. 

So our company updated our office products to use the microsoft sensitivity labeling on documents. Now when editing family tables, one must select a label before opening the file. While this is a headache as sometimes the dialog isnt available on the alt+tab menu and must be navigated to from the task manager. The real issue is that sometimes when closing the excel file, Creo does not know it's been closed and nothing be clicked on. Even if I kill the excel process through the task manager, Creo is still waiting and clicking anywhere in the program results in the windows sound that I am clicking an invalid window. Does anyone know any work arounds? It appears that the real issue is you must select a sensitivity label before editing the file.

We need access control based on "View" e.g. Manufacturing view should be accessible only to a role "Manufacturing engineer" Does Windchill 10.1 supports it ? If not, is it included in Windchill product roadmap in future ?We have different Manufacturing Plants, for these we need to create different Manufacting views for released eBOM.In order to control access for Design and Manufacturing views we are creating different roles for Design engineer and Manufacturing Engineer.Can we have access coontrols based on the view of the BOM?

Once I am selecting an old baseline, the export works normally, but once I export a newer baseline in Windchill Requirements Connector 4.3, there is a pop up message "DOORS: **** Translating a structured exception ****" and a notification that DOORS has stopped working. As a result, the export is ERROR.What can be the issue?Thanks in advance

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0I am experiencing an issue when exporting a model from Creo Parametric to STEP format.When I create a model as a single part and then add weld bodies, Creo automatically generates additional bodies and layers during the export. When I reopen the exported STEP file in Creo, the structure of the model appears completely different from the original one created in Creo.Could you please help me understand why this happens and how to correctly export the STEP file without the model structure changing?Thank you in advance for your support.

Dear Team,We are seeking a report that identifies all empty workspaces in Windchill.Has anyone previously worked on a similar requirement or developed a report for this purpose?

Hello,Recently I am getting a crashing issue when closing out the ECAD/MCAD Collaboration tool. The traceback file states "Exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION has occurred in the thread xxxxx". The thread number changes every time it crashes. I had another user try on a different machine and got the same result. This seems to have started within the last couple weeks, I have successfully done this process before this period. Thanks in advance for the support,Tanner
