Windchill Systems/Software Engineering Ideas

We recently upgrade from Integrity 10.7 to Windchill RV&S (Integrity) 12.3. The inline rich content editor in document view is nice, but it can be very annoying sometimes. When the column for a rich content text field is narrow, it really blocks a lot of the real content. Plus, when you highlight a word (double click on it), another rich content editor toolbar shows up! There should be an option to disable the inline editor toolbar (and we can customize the viewset to show the editor options at top, not inside the table cell). ... View more

Hi, when I open a versioned document, the requirement IDs of the items are show in the format "[original_ID]-[revision]", e.g: An Excel export (via menu: Items > Export items to excel) of that item now shows in the ID field the "internal" ID. For each versioned item a new item is created in the database, which has it own ID:   From my point of view the "version ID" 2320-1.1 should be shown in the Excel export as well. The internal ID is not shown at all inside Integrity. Also the Word gateway export gives the version ID. The Excel export is the only place, where the internal ID is shown, which is very confusing. I discussed this issue with the support (Case C14234171), who said that this is a know limitation, which is described "Integrity Document Versioning Guide" (see section Limitations For Document Versioning), and suggested to post this as an idea in the forum. Well, here it is 😉   Regards Timo   ... View more

The Integrity Modeler Populate function helps to populate diagrams with elements. For example it is possible to populate all ports of a part. If a part has many ports often not all ports are nedded in one diagram. The two options which are available now is - to poulate all elements and delete the not needed or - to drag and drop the neede elements from the bib. Both solutions has lagrge disadvantages if the numer of needed elements is quite high but still only a few of the total amount of elements.   The 1. proposal is that after activating the populate function a option menu shall shows up, in which the elements to populate can be chosen by selecting check boxes.   In a case in which a populate function adresses really many elements for example when populating linked requirements of a part the check box menue would get to large to handle   The 2. proposal is that the check box menue shall include a filter option. This could be realised by (multiselect) menues in which different element attributes and their values can be chosen to filter the selectable elements.   but + -->  ... View more
