Hello Everyone, I am currently using Windchill 13.0 and trying to create a new product. When I navigate to Recent Products -> View All, I don't see a "New Product" button, only an "Add to Favorites" option. I've tried this with my administrator account as well as a user account that I've added to the Product Creator group, but still no success. Can anyone help me with this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Drawing sheet displays in CreoView for NX and Creo drawings are different. Description: We use both NX and Creo for CAD and have drawings of both publish viewables that some departments annotate in CreoView for reviews etc.    Creo drawing sheets seem to show up as sheets under the single drawing object: This allows markups on multiple pages saved as an annotation set to be saved as 1 annotation set.    By contrast, NX drawing sheets seem to be displayed as separate objects: This results in annotations saving PER SHEET instead of per drawing:   I looked through CAD worker recipe settings and my local .pvr file but I'm not seeing anything that would cause this difference. Is there a way to have NX drawing sheets behave like Creo drawing sheets in CreoView?

Is there a way in windchill to create service maintenance manuals using the same or similar logic used to create process plans? We create manuals that have service intervals for maintaining the machinery we sell. Its very similar to the step in creating a process plan for manufacturing. Using process plans you can define:•The operations needed to carry out the manufacturing of a product.•The sequences in which these operations are carried out.•The time, costs, and constraints for each operation.•The physical resources and skills required to carry out operations.•The parts required to manufacture the product, as well as where and how they are used during the manufacturing process.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We have different subtypes for parts, and each subtype has a custom icon. The custom icons are already configured. Many of these subtypes can be an end item. When "end item" is true on the part, we want to add a glyph to the custom icon.Description: I am able to create a custom IconDelegate following this documentation: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/it/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_UICust_PresentInfoUI_IconDelegates.html But I am not sure how to add more glyphs/adornments. I understand there is the IconCache cache with _addGlyphs() and mergeImages(), but I don't know what is the best way to add another glyph to the class. Has anyone done this before?My workaround would be to create another set of custom icons for each subtype, to be assigned when they are end items.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.4We are in the process of RH1 upgrade from 12.0.2 to 13.0.2. The customization to make wokflow comment mandatory as per CS35488 is not working in 13.0.2 system but its working in 12.0.2 system. There are only 2 instruction available in this support case for 9.0 to 9.1 & 10.0 to 12.1. No instruction available for 13 release. Please suggest.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I want to link latest (master) document to WTPart. I have to relate two types of documents to WTPart version specific and master document document. For this purpose I implemented WTPartDescribeLink and WTPartReferenceLink. The GET method was already available to retrieve the DescribedBy and ReferencedBy and I am looking to customize it for other methods like POST, PATCH and DELETE.Description: I have implemented the WTPartDescribeLink with the help of following ticket attached. I tested it after implementing it and it is working fine.  CS285572 - How to create WTPartDescribeLink / WTPartReferenceLink using Windchill REST Services in Windchill PDMLink Now I am trying the same approach to implement WTPartReferenceLink by modifying PartReferenceLink.js and PartReferenceLink.json files. I just followed the same as for WTPartDescribeLink. the only change was reference to master document as instructed " attributes.add(new A

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings. Description: Looks like Creo View Adapters 11.0 and above have added a watermark option for NX PDF outputs!! Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings.       I verified that this works on 11.0 Adapters and I'm guessing it's using the NX watermarking feature directly. These are all great things because in publish rules I can just add a watermark for the condition I want and it's done!  <additional-files name="UG_drawing_pdf"> <file display-label="PDF" output-prefix="pdf" type="PDF" default="true"> <option name="Colors" value="BlackOnWhite" /> <option name="OutputTextOption" value="AsText" /> <option name="ConvertRasterImages" value="Yes" /> <option name="AddWatermark" value="DO NOT PRODUCE.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: User opens a top level assembly file, with the NX load options set to "structure only" and "partial load-lightweight". During the opening process, a few hundred files are opened, saved, and closed, before the top level assembly is opened and displayed as "structure only".Description: Using NX 2206.9220 with WGM 12.1.2.1 This issue doesn't occur for every user, and it is one assembly in particular (that we know of).  Normal load time for this assembly as "structure only" is about 1-2 minutes.  For users experiencing the issue, it's an hour or more, and over 200 parts are opened, saved, and closed during the process.  We have looked at NX load options, and the settings are the same. Also of note, in the NX syslog files, there are a large number of "PSM Validation Report---" entries when the opening/saving/closing behavior occurs.  There are no entries for this when a user does not experience the behavior.  Informat

As per the original post.    We are also running Solidworks & WGM and constantly get these files that WGM "thinks" are to be modified, but are not.  UPDATE does not reload (wish it did).  Only fix is to search and reload each file back into workspaces overwriting the file that thinks its being modified, that it thinks its in error (very time consuming) or just ignore them.  I have directed Co-workers to ignore these.  Some users do not know to ignore or reload and so they end up checking these out thinking a change is eminent.  What a mess.   What triggers this, and how can we avoid it?  Lock/unlock does not stop this from happening.  SW ignores these labels.  If we could mark them as read-only, and WGM understand under no circumstances does these get changed... that may do it, but I dont see that function existing.     Any tips or tricks for this, please post.   The explaination above is the first I ha

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: In our change notice flow I have options to "Rework" at the ECN workflow level and also within the change activities as part of the ECN. I want to get a report to count the reworks overall per ECN but seem to be able to get either just the activities, or just the ECN reworks and not both. Description: There are couple of really useful references on Windchill ECN reporting: CS48714 - How to use Query Builder to generate a report to show Change Notice related information in Windchill PDMLink CS336467 - How to link work items of an upstream change object to downstream ones (CR to CN, etc.) CS153902 - Data model   In our ECN flow there are rework routes within the ECN workflow and also within the Change Activity workflows:   All of the above work but they end up only showing the reworks within the ECN workflow and don't display the change activity reworks.    If I go this route with looking at assigned activ
