Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to post as I'm first time poster. In a recent reconcile of a model branch into a main trunk the following conflicts were identified. Has anyone seen the 'Unable to find a Destination model configuration equivalent' conflict before and what the issue is? In checking the reconciled model, the five items, which are Use Cases, all look ok so i cant identify the issue.Thanks in advance for any support,Tom

Question 1 : Is there any API for Import from spreadsheet.Question 2 : Anyone know about BOM extract report code so that we can use similar to create a BOM.

when revise is done with importable spreadsheet. The version number changes in Windchill, however it shows as a new iteration rather than a revision. Here the part was revised in windchill and in history it shows "New Revision 2"When using the importable spreadsheet to create the new version 3 in history it shows "New Iteration 3.2"How can we do a revise using importable spreadsheet rather than creating a new iteration?Note: modify and revise permission are granted

In BOM Transformer, I can not click "New Insert" for making a process plan, even if I did some works. 1) Use "MPMLink" template when I made the product2) Make M-BOM applying "Manufacturing" as a downstream BOM type3) adapting to Manufacturing lifecycle If anybody have some ideas, please reply me. - Windchiill 13.0.1

Hello all, I'm currently writing a custom JSP to summarise changes resulting from a Change Notice, I've managed to pull all the required data into the report except for Assigned Usage Expression (e.g. 'COLOUR= "GREEN"), which I'm struggling to get, does anyone know of an API method to retrieve this? I've tried:WTPartUsageLink.getExpressionData() - Returns null,  seems to just return the ExpressionData field from the WTPartUsageLink table,  which is completely empty, guess it's a redundant field ExpressionHelper.getDisplayExpression(Expressionable,  WTContainerRef) - Returns "{Display : "" , invalid: false}", not sure why it's taking a WTContainerRef argument as this shouldn't make a difference to the returned expression, so maybe it's not doing what the method name implies.CS384380 states that there's no supported API to achieve this, however that's not to say there isn't one available. Worst case, I could always build the expression through QuerySpec

We need an API to get Affected End Items added in Variance at Variance's Affected End Items table. Please provide a sample code to get the Affected End Items.

I am trying to create an alias attribute on a document to show related reference by part.I have tried below mappings but it does not work: references@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~numberreferences^wt.doc.WTDocumentMaster@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~number masterreference^wt.doc.WTDocumentMaster@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~number  

Hello experts,Is there any API to generate CAD object step files via customization instead of generating via publish rules?

I created a user-defined dictionary with userdict command from the command prompt. The dictionary file is located at the default location  lib/proximity/userdict, I was under the assumption that the words in the dictionary file would not display the red wavy underline when spelling check is used on an opened document in Arbortext.  However, the words on the document which were also on the dictionary file are still display with red wavy underline. If someone can provide the reasons why and the solutions to make the user-defined dictionary to work as intended, your inputs are greatly appreciated.

I noticed this with a classified Part where we had a large family table linked to the Parts (screws) and the Parts were all classified. I had two attributes, Material and Finish, in that family table but the values were different than those in the constraints legal value list.  As it happens when the family table was updated and checked in, it pushed in its value to the Part as expected but now shows a value that is not in the list. I am only noting here since I thought system should have enforced the restrictions and we would have caught this sooner.  Aside from any quick fixes, looks like I have to sync the attributes at the CAD level. Not a huge deal, PASSIVATE vs Passivated, tomatoes and to-maaa-toes.

Looking for the right way to call this. I have the user object passed in and want to search for change notices created by that user that are still active. Do I have the right call? I saw a message that "CREATOR" was ambiguous when compiling.  QuerySpec spec = new QuerySpec(); int changeNotice = spec.addClassList(WTChangeOrder2.class, true); SearchCondition sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class,WTChangeOrder2.CREATOR, SearchCondition.EQUAL, user.getDisplayIdentifier()); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.RESOLUTION_DATE, SearchCondition.IS_NULL); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.NEED_DATE, SearchCondition.LESS_THAN, timestamp); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); QueryResult lateCN = PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec)spec);  

I want to "mock up an idea" and not save changes.. When I open the part/assembly and attempt to modify it, Windchill requires you select "check out", "continue" or "read only". Each of these options seem to have issues with what I am trying to do.-If I choose read only, I cannot test the changes I want to test.-If I check out the part, I am permanently modifying the part.-If I choose continue, it lets me do whatever I want. I then test my changes and when I am done, I close files without saving. If I open the file a week later, and try to make a change.... Windchill now just lets me make the change without requiring the selection of "check out", "continue" or "read only"?? I would expect that it would discard the changes and reset the selection requirement.It seems many assemblies just get in the permanent "continue" mode. Which causes issues.For now, I check out - test my modifications - close without saving - and undo check out... not sure what issues that may cause???Does anyon

It is clear that when viewing a part with only Vendor parts linked to it that the Sourcing Status is showing "No AML". It is true that it lacks an mfg list but why not move up the Vendor status?   Seems they missed the opportunity to show more such that there is a AVL and it has sourcing status. You can use different icons but just stopping at the AML seems wrong to me. What say you? Do you see this as a bug or a gap in functionality? There is an article on this so PTC says working to spec: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS30730?&language=en&posno=1&q=No%20AML%20Vendor%20parts&source=search My Java coding fingers are getting itchy.

Does anyone know why there is no overlap between the support end dates for Windchill 13.0.1.x and 13.0.2.x?  Why would PTC plan to release something that 5 days later will no longer be supported?     It really seems like each subsequent CPS for 13.0.1.x should push the support end date a little further out.  At a minimum, there should be a decent amount of overlap (at least a year) between when 13.0.2.0 ships and when support for 13.0.1.5 ends.   None of our customers want to risk switching to Windchill 13.0.1.x with the support end date so quickly approaching.  Everyone is upgrading to 12.1 instead, which is unfortunate because going directly to 13 would have avoided a second upgrade project in the future (assuming they still go to 13 at some point.)

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.1We have a representation on an EPMDocument published with a custom AutoCAD Worker. The publishing works flawless, but since customer needs DWG in representation (beside the published PDF) we found that the PTC ThumbnailWorker prefers the DWG for thumbnailing over the (monochrome) PDF which results in coloured PDFs.Do you have any advise to get the PTC (OOTB) ThumbnailWorker to use the PDF (instead of the native DWG in representation) for creating thumbnails?

Hi,I have a drawing on windchill/creo that I am revising. The current state is at "created" and rev "09". I made my revisions to the drawing but need to change the revision level to "10" instead of "09" before I release this revision. Is there a way to do this other than deleting the revision that I created and creating a brand new revision at "10" and doing my updates all over again?  Thanks!Paarth

How to bulk load or create classification attributes for WT Part object type.

How can I get the "SOFPART" attribute value of the document type object in the promotion?SOFPART contains multiple string values I wrote a code to deal with this situation, but the attribute value is empty. Where am I making a mistake?CODE: try { wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice) primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult qr = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getBaselineItems(pn); while (qr.hasMoreElements()) { java.lang.Object obj=(java.lang.Object)qr.nextElement(); if (obj instanceof wt.doc.WTDocument) { wt.doc.WTDocument wtdoc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) obj; wt.content.ContentHolder contentHolder = wt.content.ContentHelper.service.getContents(wtdoc); wt.content.ContentItem item = wt.content.ContentHelper.getPrimary((wt.content.FormatContentHolder) contentHolder); com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter persistableAdapter = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(wtdoc, null, java.util.Locale.getDefault(), new com.ptc.core.meta.

When we check in a single WTPart, there is an option for "Publish to CAD" which pushes attribute values to the related EPMDocument, but if more than one WTPpart is being checked in at the same time, this option is not visible. Even if we set the preference to default this option to be selected, that only applies when the option is displayed, so only when checking in a single part at a time. While we wait for PTC to determine whether/when this will be fixed, has anyone found a way to automatically trigger Publish to CAD on every WTPart checkin?This issue is also described in SPR7513360 andhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS285995 We are running Windchill 12.1.2.x

Hello,   is there any OOTB possibility to keep attributes synced on WTPart and EPMDoc, when associated by Owner Link and the Attribute names do NOT match?   Thanks & Kind Regards

Hi @HelesicPetr, Do you have any idea, How we can allow external partner user to import BOM into Project container. Also created one profile by name Product Engineer and provided access to Product Engineering team so they can send BOM/Part/Document from Project to Product container. Below actions are enabled for External Partner user:Create New Part/BOM/Document  

Increase the character length for add participant tab.When we are searching in add participant tab it is maximum taking 200 character which is a 00TB functionality as per PTC and cannot be changes. We are in Windchill 11.1.

Hello Everyone, Is there anyway we can download multiple .mtl library files from Windchill ThanksKumar

Hi We are considering an update of the Windchill system on our site and we're looking for a user review from someone who is working with Solidworks 2022 and WGM 13 combination. Is there anyone in the audience with such a combination who can share his experience? ThanksEliran 

unable to find utilities in wcadmin user.we are using Windchill 11.0 and suddenly the wcadmin permissions are not to be seen.neither we can see the data including the demo data or search using advance search
