- Raw Materials Aluminium (24 in total)Aluminium Dimension (18)Cannot select directly the node Aluminium (18 wtparts). But I can select the subnode Aluminium Dimension and go to the Wtparts classification results from this subnode. For the Aluminium node (the parent), the only way i could get access to thoses 18 wtparts plus the 18 of aluminium Dimension , was to select select Search button near of Hide Image. Is there another way to select this node directly ? Why do I need to do an extra click to get access of thoses wtparts classified in Parent node?(view in My Videos)

Documenting this error since I did not see any posts or articles related to it and my memory stinks so I will forget about it in a month.

Hello,I’m developing a custom application in C# to integrate with Windchill. My goal is to:List the projects shown under "Recent Projects"When a project is selected, display the related objects such as WTParts, WTDocuments, EPMDocuments, etc.I have already found and listed the Recent Projects via SQL (likely using the Project2 table and related filters), but I have not been able to identify how to retrieve the associated content (e.g. WTPart, WTDocument) linked to each project.Could you please help me with:How to get WTParts, WTDocuments, or other content linked to these Recent Projects?Whether there is a specific table or join that I should be using in SQL?Or alternatively, is there a REST API (WRS) endpoint that provides this data?I would greatly appreciate any guidance or documentation on this.Thank you in advance.

Hello,I created a custom ClassifiedObjects.json configuration for the ClfStructure domain so as to return more properties than the defaults provided by Windchill. REST / OData Version we are using: windchill 2.2.2 REST Services NOTE: we are talking about this type of query, for instance GET [host]/Windchill/servlet/odata/v3/ClfStructure/ClfNodes('CT11101010')/ClassifiedObjects?$count=true All is fine except for the mapping of an internal field whose internal Windchill type is: com.ptc.core.meta.common.FloatingPoint Since we are dealing with a "Real Number" (as stated in the Windchill GUI) I expect this to be mapped as a "Double" or "Single" like so: { "name":"StockQty", "internalName":"INVENTORY_ARTICLE_STOCK, "type":"Double"}, However, using both Double or Single datatypes will yield the following server response: { "error": { "code": null, "message": "The value '(Unassignable)' is not valid for property 'StockQty'." }} Mapping the pro

Hello,I'm currently trying to analyze the "Recent Projects" section in Windchill using SQL queries. So far, I’ve identified the Project2 and PlanActivity tables. However, I’ve encountered some inconsistencies:The Project2 table returns around 25 records without any filters.When I apply the filter statecontainerTeamManagedInf = 'RUNNING', the count drops to 21.However, the "Recent Projects" UI only displays 15 projects.This suggests that additional filtering may be applied internally, but I haven’t been able to identify the exact mechanism yet.Additionally, I need to retrieve the related documents, WTParts, or EPMDocuments linked to these projects, but I haven't found a clear way to do this yet.Here are my main questions:Is there a specific SQL table that directly reflects the "Recent Projects" displayed in the Windchill UI?How can I find the WTParts, Documents, or EPMDocuments that are linked to these projects or plans?Is there a WRS (Windchill REST Services) API endpoint that returns

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We're evaluating the eBOM/mBOM/work instructions in Windchill. What's the workflow when updating an eBOM?Description: We're evaluating the eBOM/mBOM/work instructions in Windchill. What's the workflow when updating an eBOM? You can easily compare an updated eBOM with your mBOM, but what kind of tools are available for the work instructions? With the part allocation you can see newly added WTParts currently missing from the process plan, and with the inconsistency report you can see which parts have been removed. But is there an easy method to tell which illustrations needs to be updated, because parts have been revised and geometry has been updated? Is it possible to update alle illustrations/images automatically without having to open them one by one in Creo Illustrate?

Basically, there is a workflow where at one task (after completed) the user has to choose between 3 different routes in a list. What I would like to do is have one particular route as the default (radio button is always on this route unless user specifies otherwise). The other 2 routes are optional (used less frequently).It looks like Windchill's default is to select the first radio button.Is there a way, in the workflow, to set the default (radio button) to that one specific route?

Reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/What-are-pros-and-cons-to-set-up-multiple-organizations-over/m-p/166436#M19670    Do you think "...the migratory configuration to accurately configured multiple organizations are not worth the expense in all likelyhood. Out of the box product and library templates are the worst enemy for transition to multiple organization system." still applies?   We are in a company of 6 (5 in Windchill) companies. We have 1 org and 5 products (where each product is a context and each one is for a single brand). We realistically could be split into two groups. We are starting to encounter configuration issues where one group really needs certain settings only available at the org level. Those settings conflict with the other company. I have proposed splitting us at the Org level. I am a young Windchill Admin but I have read a lot of the docs. We are on 12+. It looks conceptually simple to split off a new org.   What coul

Could you please advise if there is a way to enable ‘Export to Excel’ functionality for Standard Profiles? I can export License Profiles to Excel but don’t see the same option available for Standard Profiles. Is this feature restricted, or can it be enabled through permissions or configuration?

The suggestion is, to have different symbols for different 'not up-to-date' states.This would help a lot!
