PLM

While exporting the Structure BOM by selecting the “Multi Level BOM” option under the Reports tab, the BOM is currently exported with the report name followed by the Username and the current date. We would like to know if there is any possibility to export the file using the Number + Part Name instead.

You place it in the ARC_TRANSITION option and set the RETRACT_RADIUS. Following these steps from the manual, the line comes out straight, making a corner instead of an arc. I don't know why it's not arcing.Description:Hi,To create an arc movement between the jump between drops, in NC Assembly, there's an option called Retract_transition.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.0 and Datecode with CPS M010Critical vulnerability (CVSS10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products. Want to add the immediate remediation steps but don't understand instructions.Currently have "D:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\HTTPServer\conf\conf.d\30-app-Windchill-Auth.conf" file. Do I simply create the new 90-app-Windchill-auth.conf and ONLY put the entry that was sent in the remediation or do I copy the 30-app file renaming to 90-app and have all of my configuration settings plus remediation??? Some of the replies to this topic were published during the recent read-only period.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Hello, We are running **PTC Windchill 13 with **SolidWorks 2024 integration. Visualization files are generated through WVS using a SolidWorks worker. We are trying to optimize publishing load and would like to change the publishing strategy slightly. Our lifecycle is approximately: Concept → Prototype In Work → Prototype Released → In Work → Under Review → Released → Obsolete Goal During normal design work (In Work), every CAD check-in generates the visualization viewable (Creo View / PVZ). When the design leaves the In Work phase, the geometry should no longer change. Therefore the last check-in in In Work would effectively be the final viewable generation. After that point: the existing viewable representation should remain attached to the CAD document / WTPart it should simply carry forward to the next lifecycle states Later, when the object is promoted to Released, we only want to generate the final deliverables: PDF (drawing) DXF (if parameter DXF

Using the attached QML, I was able to retrieve the users assigned to their respective licenses. However, the report is also returning the associated team roles along with the license or group names to which the licenses are mapped.Do you have any suggestions on how to exclude all team roles from the report? Although the criteria section technically allows filtering out roles, it is not practical to identify every possible role and create separate criteria entries for each one.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: To use the IFX library in the Creo for the Windchill fasteners and Also want to build standard fasteners library in the windchill from Fasteners available in the Creo IFX library.Description: Want to upload standard fasteners from the Creo IFX library to the windchill and also want IFX to fetch and use the fasteners form the windchill libraries when designer is using IFX tool in the Creo. But in the windchill the custom numbering scheme is configured for the standard parts in the windchill library. so also want to maintain that numbering scheme for the fasteners and they should be used by IFX library in the Creo when designer wants to assemble any fastener in his assembly.What configurations are needed to implement this functionality ? and how to do this ?Also is it possible to map the Creo parameter of the fastener parts directly to the windchill partslink classification attributes ? Versions : Windchill 13.0.2.6 and Creo 11.0.0.0

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We might have a requirement that will necessitate us to model the various machine setups of a machine , and use them for the operation as applicable, in the process plan.Description: Apparently, this requirement could be solutioned in many ways. for eg., 1. Use "Configurable Work Center" and use Set up variables captured as Option > Choices, then use the parameters of the process / requirements to give the setup required.2. Use Classification for the work center and pre create the instances of the work centers, with those values.3. OthersIt depends on the number of parameter variables and complexity, which I am yet to see the data. Wanted to hear from you experts on if you had come across such use cases and how was it solutioned.Even before that, I hope that Work center object can work as configurable item. Correct? ThanksHari

Seems to be lack of user involvement. When you setup a Audit Log Purge Schedule task, you can pick options for what to keep. Typically, if you are purging, you want to get rid of older records, keeping only items within some time period. The criteria and frequency should align. For example, what is the point of running a purge of last year with a frequency of every two weeks?  Aside from manual dates run on a one-time schedule, the only ones that make sense would be to purge last year on a yearly schedule or Last month on a monthly schedule. No option if I want to keep last 3 months which would align with a quarterly schedule. Has anyone looked into modifying the Duration drop down for add more options?
