A simple feature like "Search and Replace", within Lifecycle Manager, would be extremely valuable. Search without replace is vastly more time consuming.

Please consider enabling SolidWorks Electrical connectivity through the Work Group Manager. We have a need to bring in and create cable assemblies that originate from SolidWorks Electrical. Our entire SolidWorks implementation in Windchill is incomplete due to this missing link. We design electro mechanical chassis that contain many cables. A large part of our designs is in SolidWorks.

There should be a work around for inserting the deleted content from the document into the same document at same place also again or there should be an CLI command for the same.

We are using many fields for administrator purposes which are not relevant to normal users, but part of Visible fields in Type definition. Some of them are updated through triggers and some are fva fields. Any update on these fields will reflect in history tab of the item and is visible to normal users. It starts making the history unnecessarily noisy, and less useful. Can we have an option to hide history of these fields from normal users? Reference articles - C14600486, CS214895 (RFC 1076602) & CS87116 (RFC135017)

Bulk edit for text fields (shorttext and longtext) offers full replacement only. For logging fields, this is really irrelevant because of how logging works, but for other text fields, I propose adding the capability of using field substitution as an option. Example 1: Allow the use of syntax such as: Prefix 1: {Summary} to allow adding a prefix to the existing Summary fields on the selected items, instead of completely replacing the contents. I will be creating another enhancement request to improve upon the existing substituteFields() capability on the issueDeltaBean. That, combined with this request, would make for much more capable editing options.

Problem Statement: Check-in is slow for remote users using FSA. Need better way to support global development. Solution Scope: Allow check-in in FSA, so that the user do not have to wait for the remote server response, the actual check-in can happen behind the scence and deal with conflict or error.

In a document - it should be possible to include/insert versioned documents

It should be possible to export a part of a model to XMI (e.g. a package or a package tree) - not just the entire model.

Need ability to add Copy and Paste option to the Web version of Integrity like the client version

When a CurrentString in several Text Fields in a document need to be replaced by another NewString, there is no possibility to do it in PTC Integrity. In such case one have to: 1. Export in Word Microsoft 2010 -compatible with Integrity 10.9- , find and replace there and import again. 2. Search for the CurrentString in each of the n-number of TextFields intended to be changed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Implement a python script in which it is possible to iterate each of the items containing the CurrentString and replace it by the NewString. I am currently working on the 3rd option as it is the most feasible for my use case. All possible inputs are appreciated 🙂

Get the status of the parts with multi-owner links in the preferred part drop down select list of the Compare to Part structure tool but unfortunately in OOTB it is not part of windchill PDMLink functionality. Response/input from PTC: "However, It'd be a good idea in fact to get the status of the parts with multi-owner links in the preferred part drop down select list of the Compare to Part structure tool but unfortunately in OOTB it is not part of windchill PDMLink functionality. I'd suggest here to submit a product idea to be implemented in a future release." Initial question to PTC: Case #16426808: "In the cad to partstucture compare tool when running Compare to Partstructure tool and selecting the preferred parts from the parts with multiowner link, Are there any ootb way to show the status (inwork, released etc...) of the parts with multiownerlinks in the preferred part dropdown select list ??"

When you are working with Catia V5 in Windchill WGM you are able to manage so like different Customer environment(Catia Release is missing there). Same functionality should be added for NX or maybe also other CAD application. We have to manage files from different customers with different NX version and environments. You should not be allowed to edit objects in the wrong environment, or newer release if this is not new one for your customer.

how do we embed certain sub sections of a larger document in an Integrity requirement line…but not have to show the WHOLE doc on that requirement line…yet while the whole document is truly mastered in Integrity. For example, there is a large Excel file that represents all power generation spec. On a certain requirement line, the req line only deals with a very small subsection of that overall document. Our users here are telling us they only want to be shown that small subsection…but want to be able to edit that portion of the overall document on that requirement line…having that embedded subsection update the overall master.
