Hello, I have a ME10 macro that selects all geometries from a view and returns the pointer and geometry properties as a list to LISP.The pointer corresponds to the return value of the sd-get-annotator-reference function.To continue working with the elements, I need the sel_items for the pointers. But I can't find an inverse function for sd-get-annotator-reference.So far I have implemented this by using get_selection in LISP to get all sel_items and building a new list in which the pointers are added using sd-get-annotator-reference.I then use this list to add the sel_items to the list returned by ME10. However, the last process is quite slow.Does anyone have an idea how to do this efficiently?BR

Hi All, I am trying to apply runtime permissions through a service. The code snippet was working fine in one environment, but when I import the same service in another environment, the permissions are not applying. Specially, all other permissions apply except for EventExecute. Here is the shared working code snippet:Working code:json = ThingTemplates["BasePlatform"].GetInstanceRunTimePermissionsAsJSON();json["permissions"].push({"PropertyRead": [{"isPermitted": true,"name": userGroup,"type": "Group"}],"PropertyWrite": [{"isPermitted": false,"name": userGroup,"type": "Group"}],"ServiceInvoke": [{"isPermitted": true,"name": userGroup,"type": "Group"}],"EventExecute": [{"isPermitted": false,"name": userGroup,"type": "Group"}],"EventSubscribe": [{"isPermitted": false,"name": userGroup,"type": "Group"}],"resourceName": "*"}); ThingTemplates["BasePlatform"].SetInstanceRunTimePermissionsAsJSON({permissions: json /* JSON */});Could anyone suggest why the EventExecute permi

We would like to have three additional fields added in Creo NC for the tool type “Reaming”: “tip angle”, “tip offset”, and “tip diameter”. "Picture 1 Reaming" Our colleagues in programming would like to control the depth during programming—similar to “Drilling” and “Thread Cutting”—using these additional fields.This would be a considerable relief during programming, as the chamfer/lead-in of the reamer would no longer need to be added to the depth manually. Example for Drilling:"Picture 2 Drilling" Example for Thread Cutting:"Picture 3 Thread cutting"    

Hi, I have to develop a Windchill Rest API that needs to take OAuth 2.0 authentication type. Can we create OAuth accounts in Windchill server?. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,I'm encountering a challenge while attempting static structural simulations in Creo Simulate using Mid Surface shell idealization with contact definitions.It appears that the contact interactions are being ignored during the solution process, leading to premature termination of the simulation. This issue seems specific to the shell idealization approach.While switching to solid or thin solid idealizations does allow the contacts to be recognized, it significantly increases model complexity and computational time.Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a workaround for this? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We have a custom REST servlet that works correctly on Windchill 13.0.2 but fails with 404 errors after upgrading to Windchill 13.1.1.

Hello everyone, I`m working with a lot of pipe spools on my company and we are migrating models from SE to CREO and starting working with all PTC programs (CREO and WIndchill). My question/issue is, when creating .asm of pipe spools (with spec driven or with non spec driven) I had all my structture correctly arranged on Windchill with all my WT parts for each part, but I have no clear info for the line stocks of the pipes and their quantities of length...Is there an option to include the line stock (name) in the Windchill structure, like having a WT part associated to a Line stock?Also, how do you manage that? You associate the parameters of the CAD pipes like line stock and length to attributes to the WT parts and have the info there to supply chain to bought the quantity for each part? Is there an automatic way to sum up the quantities for same line stock in a same .asm in the Windchill structure? Thanks in advance

I followed the instructions and entered the license code BK800908EDSTUDENTED UNI, then my username and password (Message: success). Then I received the error message: invalid file or format.Creo 8Tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11 and on different hardware (64-bit)Virus scanning and Firewall is off How can I fix this?

I have a grid widget with dynamic columns. Because of this, I am using the JSON configuration to map instead of a standard datashape. With that said, I cannot get the footer to enable on the grid. The examples in the GridAdvancedExampleServices Thing use "enableFooter": true but this doesn't work. In the grid widget it is called "ShowFooter" so I tried changin "enableFooter" to this and "showFooter" with no luck.  How do I enable the footer via the JSON configuration?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I want to identify when a document in Windchill is created using the Insert New option and store that information in an attribute. Later, when a usage link is created for that document, it should detect this attribute and update some related values automatically. Basically, I want to differentiate between Insert New and Insert Existing actions for documents.Description: I am trying to capture the event when a document is created using the Insert New action inside the structure tab.However, Windchill doesn’t provide a direct event to distinguish between Insert New and Insert Existing actions.So, how can I achieve this: when a user creates a document using Insert New, attributes such as Customer Number, Project Number, etc. (which exist in both the parent and child) should automatically get updated from the parent.If the document is created using Insert Existing, the attribute values should not be updated.

Hello PTC communityI am trying to solve a Topology optimization problem (CREO 10.0.9.0) for a rotating disc, but it is not converging properly.  Here is a simplified version of the problem I am trying to solve. 1) starting geometry = full disc2) preserve geometries = Center and exterior portion of the disc3) Axis have a cylindrical support 4) Contact defined between shaft and disc5) Centrifugal force added in the center axis direction  criteria below:  6) I tried mass reduction or stiffness and both did not converged correct7) I am defining symmetric distribution around axis and symmetric between central plane😎 material is defined with standard properties  This is the result I am getting  I tryied, axissymetric model as well (pie slice), it did not work as well.Any suggestions what I am doing wrong or how to set this problem properly?
