Rename CADDocuments and Parts with odata Endpoint

[DK_9661096]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: I would like to change Number, Name, and File Name attributes for many CADDocuments and Parts. It took to much time to change the attributes manually. So I would like to use an odata Endpoint.

Description:

But i did not find any Endpoint in the odata documentation that fits my needs.  Do you have any ideas how to solve this Problem?

Hi @DK_9661096 \

Yes, you can write own endpoint and develop customization to achieve your needs.

Also it can be easier to write a custom utility that reads some input file to change the numbers.

Hi,

I would really appreciate your help with renaming CADDocuments by developing and deploying my own customization using OData. Could you please guide me through the proper tutorials or procedures to achieve this?

Your guidance and support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Yes, you can use this API but you have to know the ID of the object.

Here is a option how to search the ID by number for an EPMDocument ...

Hi @Fadel 

Thanks a lot for your response and I hope this API is used for renaming WTPart.

Is the same API can be used for renaming CADDocuments. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Thanks,
