Hi all, we have linked our WTPart Mass attribute to PRO_MP_MASS, however to start populating mass information from Creo into Windchill we need to calculate Mass properties in Creo then designate PRO_MP_MASS before checking in. This apparently is too much effort for my users and they would like and automation. I have got something working via Mapkey, but unfortunately if you run the Mapkey a second time it will un-designate the attribute without indication to the user. So I need a more elegant solution which can use some sort of "if" logic to determine whether PRO_MP_MASS is already designated, does anyone have a similar problem with a similar solution, I have no background in Creo automation or customization.   Many thanks

Dear experts,   I am trying to create a Thing from a Service developed in an extension. I could easily do it in another extension by using:      es.CreateThing(thingName, null, null, thingTemplateName);     Where es is an instance of EntityServices. I am developing another extension now and for some reason it always throws an Exception, saying that the ThingTemplate does not exist. The template is defined into the Extension itself and it is correctly seen by the composer. Moreover, instantiating a Thing from that Template from the Composer works.   Thanks and Best Regards 

Hi All In the out-of-the-box apps, the users' recent parts are displayed for quick access. You get the most recent version of the part, except .. When the part has been revised in Windchill, the list of recent parts in Navigate does not get you the revised part. You could call this a bug .. In Windchill you get a warning in a red label at the top left. Is there an easy fix for this? One way is to repeat the search when the recent part is clicked. thanks Rick

I need a bar chart to display bars by ascending/descending values.  The values fluctuate so I can't set the bars in static order. Is it possible to get the bar chart widget to display the bars by ascending/descending values? I looked at the widget properties, but I didn't see an option to set this.   Please see the following example from MS Excel:

I have an infotable with type EntityReference (just name and type field), it contains different objects like mashup, menus ,things, etc   for each entity I need to call its related common service (on my case SetProjectName) :   for things    Things[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") for mashups    Mashups[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") for users    Users[entityname].SetProjectName("myproj") .... and so on for almost all types   is there a way to call SetProjectName intependently from entity type ?        

Hello! It is possible to make a measure using command, for example MEASURE_DIAMETER SHAFT_AXIS AXISD And then I want to use this saved value in AXSID to preselect some line from data in BEGIN_TABLE. In other words, I want to use diameter of selected reference to select size of a component. It is possible?    

Hello, i got problem after import projects from demo to local server. When i try to add newly created entity (Thing) to project  (link - (http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/javadoc/com/thingworx/projects/Project.html#AddEntities-java.lang.String-com.thingworx.types.TagCollection-org.json.JSONObject-) (Also i found this topic - https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/create-a-thing-dynamically-using-a-service-and-then-configure-it/m-p/580723#M32242) like this:  Projects["BeerBrew Project"].AddEntities(options); In local machine i get internal error InternalError: Can't find method com.thingworx.projects.Project.AddEntities(object). (AddNewBrewingCard#20) but in my demo server this method is working (i use same code): How can i fix this?Thanks in advance

Pretty much what the title says. i've found the setting of how to turn a useless 'high-level'-3D thumbnail into something workable. Now how do i make it open my files like that by default?   While i'm here, how do i make Shaded with edges the default render mode?   Br, Jan-Willem

Is it possible to have a flexible parameter in a assembly that will publish to a EPM Document Use Link attribute in Windchill?

Does anyone know if it is possible to override the plot file extension used by the Creo Distributed Batch utility, and the "PLOT/PRINT to file, GENERIC POSTSCRIPT" Task Type Definition (TTD)?   I have tried everything I can think of, but the output plot files are still created with a .ps file extension.   There exists a PCF setting called plot_name that does exactly what I need (if set to no, then a .plt file extension is used instead of .ps for PostScript).   But I cannot seem to get the Batch file to honor the setting.   The help file implies a PCF file can be used to override relevant plot settings, but it doesn't say say exactly how to accomplish this.   I have tried adding my custom .PCF file to the "Configuration Files" node of the batch group, and have tried specifying my custom .PCF file location in the <PCF_FILE></PCF_FILE> element of the TTD file (found right under the <TKFUNC func="ProPrintExecute"> node).   No luck though. &nb

Hi   I have Linear(s), Second(s), ..., Eight(s) defined but when I tried to evaluate its coefficients and sum them, I am seeing this error: Any idea why it is giving this error?

I started a new trial and I am getting this message when I try to view anything in analytics section...   Your API Key has expired. You can generate a new key or extend the expiration date of the current key. See the Analytics Help Center for procedures.   I checked all my app keys and they are fine so this is obviously something behind the scenes. I found a link to change the expiration for an installed version but I am on the hosted trial. How can I fix this for the trial? Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric 4.0 M040, but I am trying to open a legacy Creo 2 assembly, but the model tree is not showing any of the model operations, but the model picture shows the changes that the operations would have done.  Error message at the bottom of the screen when I open the creo 2 assembly file is "Could not read from Model Tree config file wtpub://$SERVER_NAME/Libraries/CAD Standards/Creo/Configurations/tree.cfg."

Hi,  I'm going to  implement the following logic for a tree:  1.   Read the tree node from database Table  2.   Convert the flat table entries into  a javascript object which has pointers: left, next , parent 3.   Traverse the javascript object to get the children by level.    Since the tree node in database table won't change frequently , I want cache the result of step 2#.  How to where can I store a Javascript object in ThingWorx ?    Regards, Sean  

Hi All, I'm just starting out using Mathcad Prime 6.0, and I'm trying to solve a very simple equation for the drag force on our machine when submerged in a flowing river. I am using the USCS Unit system, and I believe my confusion centers around English units of mass (slug) and how to keep units consistent.    Example 1: I use 1.94 slug/ft^3 for the density of water. This gives me output units of lbf, which are correct, but they are off by a factor of gravity - 30.046 lbf should be a little over 961 lbf. Example 2: I use 62.4 lbf/ft^3 for the specific weight of water. Now numerically I'm correct but the units have the extra factor of "ft/s^2". I'm hoping someone might be able to help me obtain the both the correct numeric value of 966.42, with units of lbf. Thank You for Your Consideration, Mitch

Hi,Is there any REST API or java sdk provided by ThingWorx  to get monitoring and logging data ? 

Hello!   I have trouble figuring out how to force AFX to use our company's naming syntax. Here is an example: Lets say the ASM name is SHM-0001-030-001 (Which is the game as the  AFXproject name). What I would like to do is to force AFX to use the following names in the assembly for  (ITEM) profiles: SHM-001-030-001-01 SHM-001-030-001-02 SHM-001-030-001-03 SHM-001-030-001-04 ...and so on... Is it possible? What would be even better is to use this numbering for some of the equipment elements too. For example the equipment element (For example polycarbonat plate element) would be SHM-001-030-001-05 SHM-001-030-001-06 ... But in the same time some of the equipment elements are good as they are (for example ITEM wheels/caps etc...) because they are commercial product for us.

Hi everyone,  I'm developing some project that must be integrated with windchill.  I have to scroll service bom stored in windchill and something else similar.    Are there any way to link Vuforia with windchill through Thingworx?   Thank you.     

I have a data table with 17 fields and 296 records - figures 1 and 2. To show the records for this data table I have a mashup as shown in figure 3 containing a textbox, two buttonbars and a collection. The service that loads the collection is in figure 4. Basically what this service does is to filter and / or sort my data table.My questions are:# 1 - Since the data table has additional indexes in all fields where the collection can be filtered, why does the service take so long to load the collection when I don't use any filters?# 2 - I can click on only one cell in the collection at a time. If after that I use any filter or change the sort option, how can I make the previously selected cell be selected again, since every time I filter or sort the data table, it redoes the collection?My version of Thingworx is 8.5.6 and the database is postgresql.Thanks in advance.

Hi,   I am testing ThingWorx 9.0 before upgrade of our project from 8.5.5, and I have a problem with binding parameters in Navigation Function in Mashup.   Preparation: I created test Mashup using Responsive layout. I added a Parameter with a default value (source for Navigation Mashup Parameter), and a Navigation to a Mashup with a Parameter. I manually (drag and drop) bind this Parameter to the Mashup Parameters in the Navigation.   Problem: After I change active entity in Composer or refresh the page, I get the message "Obsolete bindings for test were removed".   Same thing happens when I bind this parameter with a value coming from a Widget or a service output.

Hello everyone,   Recently we have been using the 'Collection' Widget in some of our mashups. For this purpose, we are constructing a dashboard containing around 10-12 Cells. Each cell, is a Mashup with 100px/100px size with 6 text boxes.    The load of the 'Collection' widget is roughly taking around 15s (at this point the loading bar stops showing), and only at the 25s mark do I get the updated dashboard.   Is this a known issue? I'm using v8.4.10

Hi,  In Thingworx 9.0 , there is widget name like List Shuttle. what is the basic use case of this one and how to use it.
