Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am trying to implement Configurable Link Collection Sample UIDescription: Configurable Link Collection Sample UI I am trying to implement Configurable Link Collection Sample UI, and followed all the steps mentioned in the support.the SampleConfigurableLinksCollectionDefinitions.xml files and SampleConfigurableLinksCollectionExecutionOrder.xml are there, and also com.ptc.core.collection.show.configurable.links.ui=true in wt.propertiesthe article in 12.0  Configurable Link Collection Sample UI 12.0 does mention to load the preferences manually, whereas the article in 12.1 Configurable Link Collection Sample UI 12.1 does NOT mention to load the preferences manually. I tried both ways, and I'm still not seeing the icons/preferences Any suggestions on how to proceed further? 

Can you confirm if it is possible to set the revision and iteration rules in Windchill to 01.01? Example: 01.01, 01.02, 02.01 etc. We are evaluating this range for our business efficiency and am curious about your advice. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hi, UG Worker a assembly PDF have dashed line after drawing Save As but NX haven't. Worker Log; "ug2pv Error:59030: Number of component parts with error status on open = 2....ug2pv Warning: Child lost connecting to Parent." File sync is off in wvs.properties. Why it can be this? What is the solution?Thank you in adv 

Version: Windchill 12.0.2.18 Hi, We are looking to create a Managed Baseline in our promotion request workflow for all mechanical assembly with the name  *-01-g.asm I have found the Article - CS371627 - How to create a baseline in a (promotion request) workflow? and the Article - CS25967 - How to programmatically create a managed baseline in Windchill PDMLink which give some ideas, but I am having some difficulty going deeper into the development. The small step I have already succeed is the following : Add an "Execute Expression" robot after the "Set State Approved" method Robot and the Notify By E-mail robot :The code to execute to the expression call a custom class :  ext.sce.workflow.CreateBaseline.createBaseline(baselineName);   The content of the class is the following :  package ext.sce.workflow; import wt.vc.baseline.ManagedBaseline; import wt.util.WTException; import wt.util.WTPropertyVetoException; import wt.fc

I have found that Derived Image Table stores the information of MOOD.I have written a listener on Update Event checking on Derived Image Object.The Listener works perfectly, But even the object is MOOD the derivedImage.isOutOfDate() returns false.Is there any other specific event to check on MOOD or Am i missing something?

There are two departments (engineering and operations) and engineering departement is responsible for creating the eBOM. The windchill part will be released and given a specific state.The operations side of the company then needs to create a downstream branch in order to split up the eBOM and make an mBOM. It looks like that in order to be able to create downbstream branches, the user needs to have 'Modify'-rights on the upstream WT-part, but I don't want everyone who must be able to create downstream branches (operations department) to be allowed to modify the upstream parts (responsibility of the engineering department). Am I overlooking some settings or is this just default behaviour and should I tell operations to be carefull with upstream 'design' parts?

Hi All, As you are aware that in 12.0.1.0, Windchill DS is removed from the technology stack and only user information is stored in Active Directory or LDAP v3 compliant LDAP Server PTC didn't give any preparation document for LDAP v3 compliant LDAP Server for Windchill   If any one of you tried, Please let me know your experience   I would like to know whether you have to do any configuration once you install the LDAP server before you install windchill   Best Regards Prajeesh Kumar

Currently we have a internal debate and we are looking for some lessons learned / best practices regarding implementing Maturity states on WT Parts. Currently we have more or less the default Lifecycle states for "all" objects (Parts, Documents, etc):In Work - Released - Obsolete - Under review We would like to introduce Maturity States for our WT Parts and we have vision on 2 options:Introduce Maturity as a global attribute on WT.Part. (Simple to implement, but lacking some control mechanisms)Implement a lifecycle for Part which reflect the maturity states. But keep the existing lifecycle on the other objects. (More complex to implement but seems to be more in line with Windchill designed usage)Is there anybody that would like to share some experience with this issue? Lessons learned from a similar implementation? Pros/Cons? Maybe other options? Should lifecycle states be used to reflect maturity states at all? Some reference documentation? Would it be best to keep the lifec

Hi, I just added a new property called "price" to WTPart. I want to know that, when adding children to a parent WTPart, are there ways to calculate and update the total price of a parent WTPart automatically, by adding the prices of its children WTPart together?  For example, A is the final product, B ($5) and C ($10) are children of A. First I create A, leave the price blank. Then I add C to A as a child, I would like to see the "price" property of A automatically updated to $10. Then add B to A as a child, the price of A is updated to $15. I'm using Windchill 12.1, just wondering if it's possible. I'm new to customization of windchill but have some experiences in Java programming, so if yes, could you please also tell me what are the steps I should do?  Thank you!

Hi expert,I am working on the updating the WC 13.0.0.0 to WC 13.0.2.0 I have below few questions-1.Instead of MOR WC 13.0.2.0 Can I directly go for the WC 13.0.2.1 Critical release? is this possible?Or we need to install first MOR 13.0.2.0 first and then install critical release Patch WC 13.0.2.1?2. Can we keep old CD images and new images at same staging location? what's the best practice followed in industry?   

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We use NX and Windchill... so yes, a bit of a long shot but relevant to Windchill references functionality 🙂 I'm working on rolling out several features and one of interest here has to do with drawing notes. Specifically, I'm interested in Material call out drawing notes. There's an article in the Siemens support pages on how to create and store standard drafting notes in the Reuse library that can dragged and dropped onto a drawing. These notes are saved as NX .prt files and can be associated to a WTPart - in my case a Material part subtype I intend to use downstream in the mBOM. However, the note itself when added to NX is not a part part but instead a drafting feature so once added there's no association between it and the model it's added to.Description: This Siemens article goes over how to create standard drafting notes and save them in the Reuse library within NX. I went through these steps from PTCs documentation on setting up a

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.1   In windchill, for the "security label" of the document object, it is assumed that the security label set for the document is "core" (core, normal, core security level is higher than normal), but the user is not in the core group of the corresponding "security label". This object cannot be viewed.How to configure it so that all users can only view but not download documents and other objects that have the security label "Core" set?Currently, users have permission control over folders, but some documents in the folder have a higher security level (core), and only core personnel are allowed to view and download them. Ordinary personnel also need to view core files, and after viewing them, they will be reviewed based on the actual situation.
