Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: A CAD model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that uses a particular font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font, giving an incorrect representation without any error notification.Description: Hi everyone,I’m running into an unexpected behavior with the Windchill CAD Worker when publishing Creo Parametric models that contain text using a non-standard font. In our case, the model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that specifically uses this font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font. The publish job finishes successfully, but the resulting representation is incorrect and doesn’t match the original model. What’s most concerning is that the issue isn’t clearly reported anywhere. The only trace is a single warning line in the trail file, but no

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am working on implementing Engineering Change Management in Windchill from the perspective of a Business Analyst within the Configuration Management department. I currently have both the AS-IS process and a proposed TO-BE process mapped out. Given this situation, I want to understand how an experienced Windchill/Configuration Management professional would approach this initiative. Where would you begin the configuration within Windchill to ensure the new process is structured, efficient, and scalable? What would be the logical sequence of steps to move from process definition to system configuration and rollout? I wanted an overall outline on this.Description: Our company is transitioning from managing change requests through email and Jira to a standardized Change Management process within Windchill. We currently use both Fast Track and Full Track processes for handling Change Requests (CRs), and the goal is to migrate these into Windchill whil

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to migrate the full configuration of a development instance of Windchill into a production instance on a separate server. I have identified the aspects of configuration below that I would like to bring across: 1. Attributes (Local & Global) 2. Enumerations 3. Policies 4. Object Initialization Rules 5. Object Sub-Types 6. Workflows 7. Lifecycles 8. Users 9. User Groups 10. Change Task Templates 11. Folder Structure 12. Profiles? 13. Preferences (site, organization, context, and user) 14. Config of Local Team Roles and Members Having looked into this first, I understand that it is important to import certain elements of config into my production instance first so that the other elements can be created successfully. For example, it would probably not be a good idea to import object sub-types in before importing the attributes that the sub-types make use of first. Based on this, I have decided that a good starting point would be migrat

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Newly configured ERP Connector needs all existing released data in Windchill sent to it. Description: How does one send all existing released Windchill data out a newly configured ERP connector connection without altering the existing data in Windchill?  Normally the data will automatically be sent based off a state change or being part of a change notice.  Both of those things require creating or changing existing data in Windchill.  What options exist (if any) to push all existing released data out a newly configured ERP connection without changing states or creating new CNs for millions of existing objects?  Thanks.

Hi all, I am currently using Windchill Risk and Reliability version 11.1 I have a few questions which I hope can provide more clarity in my work.Currently, I am working to analyse and produce the most optimal RBD calculation options.Scope: I am looking to analyse the availability and reliability of an electrical system in a time span of 5 years (43800 hours).I would like to know the correct and optimal procedure to input my data for my distribution to account for every equipment. Currently, I have used Expontential Distribution settings for respective equipment that have provided in failure rate and MTBF data.  Currently, the failure rate is being included as failure rate per year, whereas the MTBF is shown in years. Q1)Am I supposed to convert the values into Failure Rate Per Million Hours (FPMH)? Q2) Do I need to adjust the distribution into Normal, Lognormal, Weibull, Rayleigh, Uniform. Time Independent or Constant Time variable? Is there a respective settin

Hello! I am looking for some help with updating the value of an attribute that exists on resulting objects of a change activity through the use of an expression robot in the workflow of the change activity. The resources I've been able to find all seem to call out the object that's having its attribute modified as the primarybusinessobject, so where I am having trouble is calling to the resulting objects while the change activity is the primarybusinessobject of the workflow. I tried the following, but had the error returned "WTChangeActivity2 cannot be converted to FormDataHolder" wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2 changeTask = (wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2) primaryBusinessObject; java.util.Vector results = com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.changeable.ChangeableDataFactory.getResultingObjects(changeTask);
