Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Our Creo models have a parameter called UNIT_OF_MEASURE. This describes the quantity unit for the model in an assembly. Typical values would be Each, Gallon, Inch, Foot, etc. It’s synonymous with Windchill’s WTPart attribute Default Unit. The CAD designer sets the Creo parameter UNIT_OF_MEASURE in the model, and this is displayed in a repeat region table/parts list in a Creo drawing. Our CM / Doc Control group then looks at the Creo drawing, then transposes those UNIT_OF_MEASURE values to the Default Unit attribute for the related WTPart. This is a manual process, and 2x the work (CAD designer sets the value in Creo, CM person sets the value on the WTPart). I’d like to automate this process, so that when the Creo model is checked into Windchill, the value of UNIT_OF_MEASURE (or something like it) is carried over to Default Unit for the related WTPart. Using Creo 9.0.5.0Description: I thought attribute mapping was the solution, and maybe it still i

Hi BjoernRueegg,   Can we use same ( PersistenceManagerEvent.PRE_STORE)  event for Change notice creation ?   Because I want manipulate char length of one of String type IBA before CN creation.   If not then could you please suggest the right event.    

Is it possible to bypass the Jasper report UI and simply download the report to PDF?Currently, there are a few options for report format that are presented when we execute the report action.We would like PDF output by default and the report to be downloaded following the execution of the action. Is this possible? --Kirk Wemple

Is it possible to create a WTDocument with MULTI_PRIMARY Content via JAVA API? 

Hello,We want to implement certain conditions for the creation of Change Management objects. Currently, only users with the Change Leader role can create change requests and change notices. We've enforced this restriction through policy administration.Additionally, our customer has requested the following:Change Requests can only be created when the Problem Report is in the "Accepted" state.Change Notices can only be created when the Change Request is in the "Implementation" state.Alternatively, the creation of Change Requests and Change Notices should only be possible after the execution of the "Create Change Request" and "Create Change Notice" actions.How can I achieve this?

I need to retrieve the API of all objects affected by change notifications in WTpart through programming, because I need to control whether the WTPart objects of the affected objects already have other changes when creating a new ECN. If so, the current change will be canceled and the customer will be prompted that there are already other changes in the objects. Please complete them first before initiating the change

Hello everyone, please tell me how to add an action to the "Actions" button for only one subtype of the document WTDocument?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030Need the versions details of Eplan compatible with Windchill 11.0

Dear Team,I have a question related to Part & CAD Centric.If I use 'Part Centric' when creating a WT Part, I can enable it with 'New CAD Document'. Before creating a WT Part, I can select which type I want.But if I go to "CAD Centric", I can create an EPM Document with the WT part. but I want to select the WT part type. How can we select it, or where can we select it? Regards,Aj

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS17When upgrading to SW 2021 from 2019, there was no 2021 option. I reinstalled the WGM and add the 2021 option. Removed the 2019 option and tried to add the 2021 option but there was no option. Removed and installed the WGM with only the 2021 option. But only the 2019 option is available. How to we get the WGM link to the 2021 application?

Has anyone used Infor PLM with Creo? Our products are highly customizable. We are in search of a good PLM that suits our need. Infor PLM is one of the contenders among Windchill and Aras.  Does it work seamlessly with Creo? Is it at par with Windchill? Any major issue or drawback that we need to be aware of? Your suggestion is highly valuable to help us find  the the best PLM.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We have a use case where we have custom numbers stored in excel sheet and whenever a number is taken it is marked as used by engineer,engineer creates WTpart using that part(those numbers are standard to business,the sequence cannot be changed).and picking of this numbers is not in sequence,user takes whatever number they want from list.Because of this auto numbering became challengeDescription: To address above issue, I am planning to load all the available numbers in to a table in database and create a data utility to compare numbers between WTPARTMASTER and MasterNumbers Table(Created by me) and create a JSP page with Find available numbers button that should run the data utility to show the available numbers. 1.Database Query  1. Database Query Create a query to find the free numbers by comparing the MASTERNUMBERS table with the WTPARTMASTER table. SELECT mn.number FROM MASTERNUMBERS mn LEFT JOIN WTPARTMASTER wp ON mn.number = w

Hello PTC Community, I’ve configured Role A at the organization level to allow users to read and download content only in release-equivalent lifecycle states. However, I’ve encountered an issue where Role A is inheriting the out-of-the-box (OOTB) ACLs assigned to the Team Member role, which inadvertently grants users access (read and download) to objects in all lifecycle states.What is the best practice for configuring ACLs so that Role A can only access objects in release-equivalent lifecycle states, even when users are also assigned the Team Member role? Any advice on managing role-based permissions effectively in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance! Best regards,Santosh

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.6We have CATIA reactions configured to calculate attribute values based on updates made in a design table spreadsheet. These do not get triggered when design tables are uploaded in WGM without opening the model in CATIA. Is there any functionality that can either leverage these already existing reactions, or replace the functionality to a similar degree?

Hello,   our company is wondering, what best practice of a multi used CAD drawing could be in Windchill (10.2). We don't use change manangement in Windchill.   We have a drawing that describes several parts (content link). The drawings shows a base model with options. If a new part with a new option was engineered, the drawing needs to be updated with the new option. We use the master model concept and have a 3D CAD model that has all options. This model is not linked to a part but has a drawing reference to the drawing. The drawing is linked to all parts with content link.   To develop the new part, the 3D model needs to be revised. When work is done the drawing needs to be revised. The problem is, that now we need to revise all related parts because if not, the new revision is not linked to the parts anymore. The problem then is, that not all parts are released. Some are Prototype, Service Only, Obsolote, On Change or Develtopment. After the drawing update and the prom

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Need to change part subtypes for schematicsDescription: Is there way to change a Part to an Electrical Part Subtype? We have thousands of parts that cannot be used with new functionality because they are the wrong subtype. I've seen a few older posts, but I cannot access the PTC articles. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to do this.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.1We plan to implement BOM Redlining in Windchill. As I understand the current functionality, when an ECN is in an open state with BOM Redlining and we run a summary report, it does not display the added or deleted objects. However, once the ECN is released, they are included in the report. Is it possible to configure the report to show BOM redlining details while the ECN is still in an open state?
