I'm using Creo 2.0 currently and would like to be able to assign material properties to bulk items in an assembly I have. I want this for reporting the PTC_MATERIAL_NAME parameter in my drawing BOM. In the assembly model in Creo 2.0, there's no way to right-click on a part and assign materials. For each part, I have to open them and manually set the material by going to File -> Prepare -> Model Properties, which is not an option for bulk materials because the only way to access them is through the Relations window. PTC_MATERIAL_NAME is a reserved parameter and cannot be manually added in relations. Do I need to change my BOM settings to a user defined parameter for each part in the model? Any other workaround?

Version: Windchill 11.2 Use Case: I want to remove the content link association between a WTPart and EPMDocument via API , basically my requirement is to remove all the association of cad for perticular part and break the link not deleted the object in actual but remove it from a perticular part and break the link and till now I've successfully been able to remove owner link but I'm not able to find any related API to remove the content link so if you know anything about it please let me know.Description: I want to remove the content link association between a WTPart and EPMDocument via API , basically my requirement is to remove all the association of cad for perticular part and break the link not deleted the object in actual but remove it from a perticular part and break the link and till now I've successfully been able to remove owner link but I'm not able to find any related API to remove the content link so if you know anything about it please let me know.

When I go into WindChill it shows me logged in for a second but then the message "plm.epdm.army.mil says : You do not have access to this object or it does not exist." I am then kicked out of the website and unsure who/how to contact for support. I checked My Access ePDM and all my access is still approved and up to date. I've been using WindChill with no issue for 3-4 months now until yesterday when this issue fist occurred. 

Hi, I need an expert advice on how to export a BOM generated in Creo Elements drawing sheet to excel or any other formats which can further connect to any other applications.Appreciate your response. ThanksNaresh

Hi, I need an expert help who can provide the right procedure to customize the BOM in Creo elements Direct modeling under 3d Documentation. The generic documentation is bit confusing & doesnt show which file need to used for adding the syntax. Appreciate you quick response.ThanksNaresh

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.16https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS49345....report from article is not providing result as expcted.....for guest role not shwoing all members

Hello, I am using Creo Parametric 10.0.10.0.When we use a threaded hole feature fabrication needs some information.Thread size, thread depth etc.Using hole chart make this possible.But when we have a pattern of a threaded hole, we also want to see the number of holes.Because this is related to a feature ID i can't seem to figure out how to make this possible.In attached picture you can see what i tried.Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance. LD

Is there an API to retrieve affected objects for a nonconformance in Windchill QMS through the code

Hello,I'm a new Windchill admin. During our setup, we created some attributes that we wanted required on parts and assemblies documents. The intention is that engineers will fill out these attributes for every design. The problem is that now those attributes are also required for templates (even though they are in a different Context), which defeats the purpose. If I fill in the attributes in the templates, then those attributes will probably be left with the default and not updated by the engineers.How can I set those attributes to only be required in one context? Right now CAD Documents and WTparts have constraints for Enumerated Value List and Required. I can Add Conditions to these constraints and choose Context as the "Driver Attribute". I've been putting in the name of the Context where I want the attribute required, but this doesn't work. It ends up not being required anywhere, like the condition is never being met. Is the Context name not the right way to identify a Context? I

I have stream which have data in 11 columns, and rows have data as well as null values. I want to create a service which goal is,Fetch ~500 records from a ThingWorx StreamInsert them in a single bulk operation into Postgres using a DB Connector.please anyone can help me how to create this service and their logics. 

Hi Community, I am currently working on an integration scenario where I consume data from multiple external APIs (e.g., SAP, APLUs and 4 additional interfaces ).   Each API delivers data in a slightly different structure, but the overall processing logic in ThingWorx is quite similar: Call external API Receive data Perform transformation / validation Execute business logic Return structured output To avoid duplication and improve maintainability, I am considering the following generic approach: Proposed Approach Create a Thing Template that contains: Generic input definitions (API endpoint, headers, payload, etc.) A standardized output structure (e.g., JSON) Shared services for: API execution Data transformation Error handling Logging Then create individual Things inheriting from this Thing Template for each interface (SAP APLUs, Interface2, Interface3, etc.) Override only specific logic where necessary This way: Core logic is centralized

I've got a Creo CAD assembly in Windchill that is linked to a WTPart using the Owner link. The part structure will successfully build. The problem is that for some reason on the CAD page, the "compare to part structure" button is grayed out. On the WTPart page, I am able to get the comparison. I've checked for failed placements, and that doesn't seem to be the issue as the structure will successfully build. I've tried unassociating the WTPart and reassociating it. I've tried checking out the CAD model regenerating, saving, and checking back in. I've even tried suppressing everything and then checking back in. The compare button continues to be grayed out.  Any ideas how to resolve? 

Has anyone else seen this issue?   Sporadically, the audit log shows a user logging in multiple times at the same timestamp. Normally this wouldn't matter, but if the user is assigned an ADU license and it's the first time they are logging in that day, they end up consuming multiple licenses for that day. I'd like to figure out what causes it and see if we can prevent it.   We are using Windchill 12.0.2.8  

Hi, We're using Creo 10.0.6.0 and currently evaluating the ECAD-MCAD Collaboration (ECX) which allows using IDX files. On the ECAD side, we use Cadence. We ran into a snag because we have rigid flex assemblies that use multiple thicknesses, but Creo doesn't support that yet. Many references here:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/ECAD-board-with-different-thickness/idi-p/814493 https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Support-IDX-4-5-File-format/idi-p/842345 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS262034?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS302761?source=search We have workarounds to manage these files today using EMN/EMP transfers. I'm interested in learning if others have already found workarounds to manage multiple thicknesses with IDX files.    Thanks, Joe

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?
