Workspace recovery/rename tools

When you log in to the PTC User site, Go to Resources, Library, expand the public files area, (pick "View all Topics"), pick Scripts. The top three items are what you want.
See the attached email for how to use the file I posted. That file was written by Dan Wolf, one of the guys I work with recompiled it after making a minor change.

Now imagine that the PTC User site no longer exists.

Thanks for that, but, I didn't ask where to find it at PTC User. I asked how to find it after PTC User gets shuttered. Where PTC Communities stores such things.

That was not at all clear.

Obviously PTC doesn't have such a tool. That would imply that there are problems with the cache that would require such a tool. PTC wouldn't want to admit that.

However that said, I believe the PTC User site is not going away entirely. Just the mail exploder portion of it.

On the PTC Community, there is a documents category where you upload files. They have all kinds of stuff in there. It is very similar to the PTC User upload area.

To be fair, the CS that links to PTC User's cache recovery tool does have alternate methods of recovery. The other one is "send us your .wf folder and we'll fix you right up". Maybe useful for some, but problematic for others (like myself).
