Hi 

 

Has anyone managed Vuforia studio projects using Windchill?

Can advise how to do this? 

 

FYI, I am familiar with both products. But not able to get any info if already a integration methods available.

 

Thanks for your help.

@rsingaram  So, Ravi could you please clarify if you want to get/show  Windchill data inside Studio experience or want to manage your Studio Project using Windchill as collaboration/project management features ?

 

If you want to get Windchill data then will have to integrate Windchill with your ThingWorx instance and then get required data using builtin services or custom services which could be used inside any Studio project.

 

For, project management the steps would be similar like we do for any project however i do not think we have a document specifically for Studio Windchill project management.

Hello,

 

This article has been made for ThingWorx Studio but it is still relevant for Vuforia Studio :

https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS264319

 

Windchill Workgroup Manager is not compatible with Vuforia Studio.

I mean, in Creo Illustrate, it is possible to link a .pvz file (generated by GDD in Windchill or manually) to an Illustration (.c3di file)

Update the .pvz file in Windchill.

When opening Creo Illustrate file, automatically, last pvz file should be collected in Workspace and updated in Creo Illustrate.

 

A such behavior, link a pvz file stored in WIndchill to a Project in Vuforia Studio is not possible today.

 

Best regards,

Samuel

Hi Durgesh and Samuel,

 

Thank you for your replies.

 

We want to manage whole connected process (models) – Creo to Creo Illustrator to Vuforia Studio with Windchill & ThingWorx.

 

Creo  and Creo Illustrate already have integration to Windchchill.  Creo also has integration to TWX. So OK upto here.

 

For Vuforia Studio - Only Attributes are OK – As  mentioned, Vuforia studio can read Windchill attributes through TWX .We are not anyway changing attributes inside Vuforia Studio.

 

So seems that the only manual way possible - we create a Windchill Document type like “Vuforia Studio” and attach  Studio project files like a zip file and manage revisions.

 

Kindly let me know if there are any other better or additional efficient methods. 

 

Thank you,
