If reviewer of the drawing document file wants to sign, is there any option in windchill to stamp (Sign) the document file after reviewing the drawing ?   Please help with the answer.

Is there a way to create a PM Structure in excel, then upload the DMs into the Information Structure in Windchill?  This would bypass having to right click > insert new > insert new document a 100 times. Thanks Dan

Hello All,We have used RepHelper.loadRepresentation API in WC 11 and working fine but now in WC 12+ it is no more supported or not working as per expectations, can you guys please suggest an alternative way for this method. WC - 12.0,12.1   

We are cleaning up things from a company domain change. All emails changed from "@oldname.org" to "newname.org". We are running 12.0.2.8 with OpenDJ as the user LDAP. It was a fairly simple change to update the email addresses in the LDAP. I exported the DB to an ldif, did a mass replace for that email domain and reimported. I verified with the control panel that change was correct, emails domains were updated.   Issue comes with Windchill where the old email is still shown. No problem as I figured this was a caching issue. PTC has a number of articles on this. The email address is stored in the WTUser table. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS72994?source=search details how LDAP Sync works. My assumption is that when I changed the LDAP value, there is a process to get Windchill to reread it and update the WTUser table.    I can confirm that the allowLDAPSynchronization is checked for my users (set to 1). wt.org.userSyncTime is not in wt.properties to it shoul

Hello Community,I have recently installed Windchill 11.1 on my development environment and need to expose CAD Data to ThingWorx Navigate. I am referring PTC documentation https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill_rest_services/r2.0/en/index.html#page/windchill_rest_services/visualizationdomain.html# for reference. In which I am using following Odata endpoints in windchill to achieve this : 1) Get /Windchill/servlet/odata/Visualization/Representations('OR:wt.viewmarkup.DerivedImage:786687')/PTC.Visualization.GetPVZ(IncludeAnnotations=true,Fidelity='Low Fidelity') Here, returned data is downloadable and I am not able to view it on browser. Also, I have enable WebGL on my browser to render such files.  Kindly, let me know what could be an alternative to directly view CAD data on browser.   Best Regards,Sid 

I have a requirement to provide a method of cloning/duplicating an existing problem report for purposes of dividing the original listed problems into separate problem reports. Ideally, we would clone the Problem Report (maybe multiple times) and update the problem descriptions accordingly.I've seen the ability to clone CAD objects (Save As) within Windchill but no such capability for any other object types. Does someone have suggestions on how I could meet this requirement?We are using Release 12.0.2.12 with PLMlink 12.0.2.7.     

Hi all, I'm still new to causing mayhem in PDMLink, but....I wanted to test the Design Review feature on an item (WTPart for example), and it all works fine as admin, but as a Regular Joe with decent access in a Product, I get an access error.I've checked the ACL, it's set up OoTB (see attached pic). AFAIK, no good help to be found from PTC pages such as this one. Note, Windchill is v. 12.0.2 over here, not 12.1., if that's possibly relevant as it may be according to CS340005..

I want same like this to get a some attributes from EPM/WT. For example i want the EPM Document object which i get into Promotion request that object state view in my task.1. Go to Site > Utilities > Types and attributes - Create an Alias attribute in the Type "Work Item" named "Requester of the Promotion"2. Add this mapping the the attribute and save: primaryBusinessObject^wt.maturity.PromotionNotice~creator.name3. Go to the Tasks table and customize view Add the column "Requester of the Promotion" with the columns that are shownThanks in Advance,Amir 

Anyone using publish.copyrepresentationsforward.part.restrict=false in their wvs.properties file?   The default value for this property is to be the same as publish.copyrepresentationsforward.restrict, which is how it is set in my system.   When wt.parts with CAD associations are iterated in the commonspace, a new representation is not created upon check in. This leaves many wt.parts w/o a representation due to the attribute, structure, replacement or link changes in Windchill that are not associated with the CAD application.   I could schedule a publish job for the various containers, but I am curious if anyone is using this setting and having success with it? It sounds like the right solution, but I am always hesitant to change a property w/o testing and some confirmation from others. Sometimes there is a hidden downside...More details can be found in PTC CS Article CS61223    

Hello ,I want to display some data regarding Version History of document  (WINDCHILL 11) version , file name , state , comments ,modified by and last modified   

Dear community, We have a case, that a user used references within Creo for hole postions in Part B from Part A. When he now wants to create a copy of Part B, Windchill always wants to also create a copy of Part A. I have a feeling this should be preference which can be set, that the system does create a third part (call it Part C) which is a copy of Part B including the references to Part A. Do you know of such a preference or how to handle such a case? Thanks in advance and BRCHENAMA

Hi Guys,I have a few changes to User creation like the below image adding the new attributes, but the alternative user does not work. Whatever I entered didn't save in attributes. Thanks in Advance,Amir    

Hello Gurus'I am using Windchill PDMLink 10.1 M040 and DOORS 9.3.I am able to install the DOORS adapter successfully. Successfully, because, I am able to execute an example I*E query for all projects-->modules-->requirements and get the output.But still I am not getting a link in Windchill to link my WTParts / EPMDocuments to my requirements in DOORS.Any ideas, what am I missing?Thanks in advance....Ravin

Currently, my setting in Preference Management for "Set Revision for Part" is set to No (I am looking to change this). With this setting, a user could create a CAD object and check it in without creating the WTPart. If after some time passes, and the user creates the WTPart, can the WTPart version be set to equal that of the CAD object. I've done some searching on this topic and cannot seem to find how this could be done. Up to now users have checked out the WTPart, and checked it back in until they have the alignment. I am looking for the process to do this without doing the checkout/checkin multiple times.

Hi, Today I have an user faced an issue with his windchill UI when he could not see the image icons for his parts or objects. can you please advise what might be the root cause for this and remediation?  

Dears. Now I have a custom attribute, he contains about 2000 values, I use the Global Enumeration defined constraints, so that the user can only be in the foreground page to select one of these 2000 values, but if user go through the drop-down box to select the desired value is a waste of time, does drop-down box can be added to the filter,  or there are other good ways to achieve it, thank you very much!

team:I want to add DescribedBy documents (not CAD documents) to a part. It needs to automated, preferably by a python script accessing the OData API. It is possible to add DescribedBy links using POST Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/ProdMgmt/Parts(id)/DescribedBy but it requires some WRS configuration as described in this article:"Follow the steps to implement WTPartDescribeLink creation hooks." https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS285572   Testing this, I got an error:"Unable to create entity - Illegal link. \"OEM Part - 4199999-00, Toy Brick, CAG66, B.4 (Design)\" cannot be linked to \"Brick Install Instructions, CAG99, 1.1\" because both objects are not in a PDM context."   After correcting the context, the link could be created fine by WRS/OData. But that's not what we want. We want to keep our contexts as they are, and link across different contexts.   This brings up a question, I am curious. The link can be created manually across different contexts but not when usi
