I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS F000-CPS01 Facing an issue during creating the organization in windchill 11.1 Here are the errors that I faced \accessrules\orgContainerRules.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

モデルターゲット用モデルは、トラッキングを開始すると非表示になるが、タップの当たり判定を持ち続けてしまっています。この当たり判定を無くすオプションを追加していただけないでしょうか。現状では、モデルターゲット用モデルが常に“見えない壁”として立ちはだかり、奥にある別のモデルウィジェットのタップを妨げています。モデルを直接タップできる直観的な操作を提供したいが、それが出来ません

For creo 10.0.5.0, while loading large assemblies from our network drive, it takes 4-5 times more time for me than the other users. Made my colleague login to my machine and run the same test. It was slow for him as well. tell us the issue is machine specific. Tried the first 3 resolutions from this article and still no improvements.Article - CS49886 - Loading/saving assemblies from/to network drives is much slower than from/to a local disk in Creo Parametric Is it something escalating to PTC would help?thanks.

When saving a 2D drawing as PDF, how do we stop the stroke lines around symbols, etc? This is how it looks in Creo.When saved PDF, this is how it looks: 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0 When I import a .idx file, many of the ECAD components are imported as assemblies. For example, some small resistors end up being 3 different parts that are combined into one assembly. Is this how this is supposed to work?

Hi,One of my creo customer is looking for a sepcific type of BOM generation in Creo drawing? Attached is the BOM format. Kindly help with a soludion. Customer has tried to use NitroBOM but are not satisfied.ThanksNaresh

When I use the IDX process to create a board with KOZs that stay 0.5 mm from my PCB’s connectors, should I create references to the connector geometry directly from my KOZ sketch that is within my board model? This would mean that I would be referencing a component that is in my PCBA model instead of only using internal references to the raw card (example: the raw card’s side and front plane). Are circular references an issue with .idx files?

Hi,Curious if anyone out there is using Windchill for Digital Asset Management (DAM) and working with images, videos and audio files? If so, what methods, techniques or customizations have you implmented for it? I'm also curious how many customers would have an interest in DAM as a component of Windchill? I have been collecting requirements for multi-media artifacts in Windchill, but would like to get a better understanding of the customer need. At a minimum, I would like to consider support for new Windchill objects; image, audio and video that would support the following capabilities.meta-data extraction from uploaded image/audio/video filesfull support for all image/audio/video formatsreal-time, Web 2.0 image/audio/video viewingability to embed web-enabled image/audio/video editor or serviceability to download images/audio/video in any format (real-time conversion)new view management options in the browserneeds more than just a folder viewvariable size thumbnail viewsfilm reel view

I went to create some exclusive symbols today and discovered what appears to be a bug in the symbol editor affecting PTC Creo from version 9.0.0.0 through the current release. When creating a new symbol with groups set to exclusive, or when adding a new group to an older symbol instance, the selections made through Menu Manager are ignored and all entities are displayed instead of only the selected entities in the group.Our current production version is 9.0.10.0, and I was able to reproduce the same behavior on clean installs of 9.0.11.0, 11.0.6.0, and 12.4.4.0.I was originally trying to copy an existing symbol created in Creo 8.0.7.0 using the same group selections, but quickly noticed the issue when entities I had not selected continued to appear in the symbol. What makes this even stranger is that the preview for the exclusive group displays correctly, but once the symbol is placed in the drawing area it behaves as though the highest-level group is active, with all entities displaye

I am creating an extension, and would to include instance level permissions - the organization and user groups exist in all environments, but this detail is not included in the xml during export. I attempted to manually add this detail in the xml, which imported without complaint but the permissions appeared to be ignored. Is there a better option to include permissions when creating an extension, or does this need to be set in the target environment?

Came across a post with a broken attachment. Of course I can’t say if its a victim of the current migration from Khoros to Gains?? (forgot the name and its not showing at the bottom of the  page anymore) or if it was already broken in Khoros.Here is the link: https://community.ptc.com/mathcad%2D7/finite%2Delement%2Dmethod%2D2d%2Dand%2D3d%2D78436?postid=321465#post321456When I try to access the attached pdf in this post all I get is a new tab with this: 

The 3d models that my organization manage almost all belong to a top-level facility assembly in CED all stored in Manager Server of course. The top-level assembly is organized by rooms and the top-level assembly of each room is in a container. The vast majority of the time we are loading just sub-assemblies of the local area that we are interested in when loading from the server to CED Modeling. Occasionally we do need to load the top-level assembly when creating facility layout images for example.Over the 30+ years that we have been using CED (ME30->CoCreate->CED) the top level assembly has gotten quite large. Previously the assembly would take days to load from Manager Server but would eventually finish. Modeling performed pretty well once the load was complete.Recent attempts to load our top-level assembly have been unsuccessful. Most recently the load failed after chugging away for 10 days. The error thrown was “LISP error: Cannot open the file” followed by a file name in a l

Hi I'm started with the Codebeamer Advanced Congiguration in the PTC Demo environment.I'm running into the issue that the parameters template document is not available in both "the Demo environment" as the "Codebeamer Advanced Configuration training material"Has anybody idea where i am able to find the  document?

When changing the item type from Informational to Requirement, the Status field remains unset. Status is not required in an informational type but is required for a requirement type.  It would be better if the item entered into the workflow at the initial state.  Is there a work around to force the item into the initial state, we couldn’t find a way.

I have old ProE workspaces but I cannot open them. I get this errorerror messageIs there anyway to open these? I know there are files in there because I was able to open them with an old copy of ProE. That is no longer an option. Any ideas?

Hi Guys,I have installed Windchill in a Workgroup environment. Before moving to production, I plan to migrate it to a Domain environment.Please suggest the best approach for this transition.If anyone has an article or SOP, please share it and guide me. Regards,Aj

I’m trying to calculate one bracket where hole for shaft. Part is very complicated and there are several forces in different locations of it. So easiest way to constrain part is add constrain to to hole of bracket. It work but it behaves wrong way now. All surfaces of hole are “locked” and it’s quite far away how it should behave when there is shaft in hole. One solution would be that turn it other way and add bearing force to hole and cnstrain other surfaces/points but it’s really hard to get right values etc on that case. So now would like to hear how that constrain can be done such way that it as close as possible same way as shaft in hole? (contact analyses can’t be used because of our poor license..) 

Hello everyone,I am working with a Creo Mechanism assembly and I would like to better understand how to manage the rigid bodies automatically generated by Mechanism.In the Model Tree, I can display a column called “Rigid Body #”. The components have values such as: Ground, 1, 2, 3, and Excluded.I have two questions: Is there a way to select all components that belong to the same Rigid Body #? For example, can I automatically select all components where Rigid Body # = 2? Is it possible to rename the automatically generated rigid bodies? For example, can I change the names from 1, 2, 3 to custom names such as body1, body2, body3, or more meaningful names? Any suggestion on the recommended Creo workflow would be very helpful.Thanks!Fabio

In the Creo assembly I have a weight which is not ok when I calculate model separately.Do you know why happened?  

I want the reference line for a section view to extend out of an orthogonal view less than it does here, by default. Is there a .dtl setting for that?

Ability to add a configured timeout value for user session in ThingWorx and in Windchill.

Hi Guys,I am looking for a way to generate multiple individual BOM reports in a single run through Report Management. I have more than 100 object numbers, and each object has its own BOM structure.If anyone has a solution or knows how to achieve this, kindly share the details.Regards,Aj

It is going to be a beautiful weekend in West Michigan, the final throws of Tulip Time.Did junk food and watched the Dutch Dancers last night.What’s your favorite carnival food?  Why was the circuit finally happy?Because it was able to find a connection.

I retrieve an assembly in session. Then I use the "erase current” option in Creo (12.4.3.0).After that, I see the list where one item has a glyph in front of it. Anyone know what this is/means?
