Hi, i am trying to delete E.1 version of menufecturing WTpart part which i revised by mistake but while deleting it is showing an error "Referential integrity violations occurred for this operation:Object "Release Activity - com.ptc.windchill.esi.txn.ReleaseActivity:136xxxxxxxx" references the object "Part - Wxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx,D.1 (Manufacturing)" that was removed from the system." could you please help. Br,Sandeep C.  

Do we have any plugin to install Walk me feature?

We have some schematics files that we are trying to import. We can import them into windchill using the web browser in Creo, but a normal browser does not import correctly. I've also tried using the workgroup manager, but I cannot see the *.RSD files from the workgroup manager. Is there a way to enable the import of RSD files into the workgroup mananger workspace?

Hello,I've been searching around trying to figure out the syntax for alias attribute on a WTPart.  It should display the Number of the WTDocument that is associated using "References Documents" association.   I have seen a similar article here:  https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS106471.  However, this is the opposite direction.   Specifically, I would like this to only pertain to my soft type WTDocument ... not all of the WTDocuments that are associated with Reference link.  Screenshot shown below to help describe the situation.   desired result

Hi SolidWorkers,I'd be interested to hear ideas or experiences of the following.There's a requirement to change content in several hundreds - ie, active products - SolidWorks drawings or preferably only the published pdf of them.  This is company logo and other information which does need to go through revisioning. Embedded in the .slddrw as block / .sldblk. A couple of different template sizes are used. Currently we have wvs worker for SolidWorks setup to publish pdf and dxf at checkin, state change etc. There's no watermarking capabilities used. (11.1 M020, Creo View Adapters 8.1 on a virtual Win 10).The pdf-files must be stored to the server, Creo View watermarking on the fly is not an option. Discussed so far:- implement pdf watermark solution to 'print over' the existing and republish- use CustomTools Reload to change template. Here you'd need a script to rename the files in WC File vault to .slddrw, then run the CustomTools utility to change template, again rename

I am trying to get objects creator in data utility. How to get Creator of Action item in DataUtilty which extends ActionItemDataUtility. 

I am in the process of upgrading from 12.0 to 12.1. I've done everything to install the target windchill system, including deploying customizations, running the custom column length command, and running the addcolumns tool. Our source database runs under schema user "WFUSER" and our target database was installed (on a separate host) under "WVUSER." I tried following the steps for importing to a different target schema username, but we keep running into issues with data being skipped. Can anyone help outline what the proper steps are here? Do I need to drop the "WVUSER" schema on the target (even though that's where our target application is installed to) and recreate using the <WT_HOME>/db/sql/create_user.sql? Should I be importing the source to the target under username "WFUSER" and do I need to use the create_user.sql script prior to doing that? The upgrade guides are extremely confusing to me on this subject. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Hello, i see there are many tasks floating into my "My Task" table in windchill. Some are engineering change notice and some are deviation which are resolved long ago but still i can see them in my "My Task" window.how can i clear it ?WC version 12.0 Br,Sandeep

I created a Template for the creation of a new change notice in Windchill 12.1.  I have tested it and it shows up as a selection in the Template drop down.  When I tried to train a user on how to create a Change Notice, the template is not available for him.  It sounds like a rights issue, but I just can't seem to find the location of where it is.  Any ideas? Thanks

Hello Everyone,I am trying to restrict some softtype from dropdown list when creating new documents.Can you please tell me how to restrict the types?FYR : 1. File Name : createDocumentSetTypeAndAttributesWizStep.jsp<jca:configureTypePicker><p:pickerParam name="filterType" value="wt.doc.WTDocument|com.ptc.InterferenceDetectionDefinition"/></jca:configureTypePicker> above line will work for OOTB document type and won't show "Interference Detection Definition"  document  type in dropdown list. but won't for custom type as like below example :<jca:configureTypePicker><p:pickerParam name="filterType" value="wt.doc.WTDocument|com.ptc.InterferenceDetectionDefinition"/><p:pickerParam name="filterType" value="wt.doc.WTDocument|ext.test.softType|ext.test.softTypeTest"/></jca:configureTypePicker> If someone knows please share how to achieve this? Thanks.  

Schuetzinger, Christian Di 28.11, 19:19 Schuetzinger, Christian  Dear PTC Team, I am currently working on my Masterthesis with the windchill modeler.Now I am at a point where i can't find sufficient material in the knowlege base.May I ask you if you can help me with my following problem:I am currently creating a windchill model for a car body.Now I want to assingn specific values to the blocks like lenght and weight. How is it possible to give the blocks the real value properties which can be used later on in the CAD enviroment like Creo.Example one block is the Front end. It shall have the block property h x w x d = 0,1m x 0,2m x 0,02m.How can I assign them?I hope you can help me with this issue. Many Thanks, Christian Schützinger

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0When a Change notice is created with the Workflow, The change task includes both Design view and Engineering view of a WTPart, along with associated CAD and Drawing as Affected/Resulting objects, The Design View and Engineering View have Equivalent Links when routed to the Change Activity task, Upon reaching the Change Activity task, the Data Assurance Team checks out the associated drawing and updates the title block and revision block with users names and dates, When checking out the drawing, it causes the Design View to iterate and creates an equivalency mismatch between the Design View and Engineering View. Users then have to resolve the discrepancies in BOM Transformer to synchronize the Design view with the Engineering view.So can we do any customization on linking/Synchronization the Design and Engineering view in the BOM Transformer

I'm having trouble calculating the time (hours) and days between two dates Windchill provides (created and last modified) on a document. Google searching for Java examples results in tons of ideas but I haven't been able to get any to work. I think my problem is in how the stamps are stored or the format of the stored stamps. The log outputs look good but the math fails. Here is what I have so far. The math function fails with: error: bad operand types for binary operator '-'.My Workflow code:   com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter obj = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(primaryBusinessObject,null, java.util.Locale.US, new com.ptc.core.meta.common.DisplayOperationIdentifier()); obj.load("thePersistInfo.createStamp", "thePersistInfo.modifyStamp"); Object CreateStamp = obj.get("thePersistInfo.createStamp"); Object ModifiedStamp = obj.get("thePersistInfo.modifyStamp"); System.out.println("Create Stamp: " + CreateStamp); System.out.println("Modified

I trying to write some Workflow Activity instructions that include attributes (workflow variables) derived from enumerated lists chosen when creating the object. For example, we have a list of Technical Approves. Each approver has a unique internal name that is different from their display name. The instructions need to say "talk with J. Baker about this" but they are coming out as "talk with TA_JBaker about this". The problem is even worse when the user's name has changed (i.e. through marriage their display name should now be J. Reynolds). How can I tell the instructions to use the display name and not the internal name?We are using Release 12.0.2.12 with PLMlink 12.0.2.7.

Hello Everyone, How many of the long term Windchill folks feel if PTC is losing focus towards improving Windchill as a product with every release with no much of improvement in adding or enhancing functionalities? The What's new document for Windchill 13.0 is just a mere 38 page document for a new release with No meaningful to NIL new enhancements or any key features for few key modules like PDM Link, Project Link & Service Information Manager.

Hi, Windchill 12.1.2.2, Two things I have issues with: a) When there are legacy CAD files brought into WC and then WTParts are created and associated to them in bulk, can representations be created for them automatically? How - which settings control that? Also can representations be generated in bulk afterwards?We're in a place where some items have representations, other do not: Sending them individually to WVS worker generates most of them but it's manual labour... b) How do you set up the background in CAD and viewables generation on WTParts? In my case visualization on WTPart appears as expected because WTParts of backgrounds are not generated and do not participate in structure. However Creo View viewables (thumbnail and open in Creo View) contain 1:1 CAD default master representation which is undesirable. Any tips appreciated! Best regards,Tom
