How To add new Action to a Menu in Windchill 10.1

Hi Vivek,

You can try below. This instructions for Note (subtype of EPMDocument) Object type, but instructions are same for other type too.

1. The RMB menu for Note object uses “epmdocuments details page actions” model from <WT_HOME>\codebase\config\actions\UwgmCadx-actionmodels.xml file

2. Copy this entire model to <WT_HOME>\codebase\config\actions\custom-actionModels.xml file

3. You can add you custom action details in the same model as shown below:

<model name="epmdocuments details page actions" menufor="wt.epm.EPMDocument">

.

.

.

<action name="inflateNotes" type="customInflateNoteActions" resourceBundle="ext.TEST.ActionDefinitionsRB"/> <!-- Custom Action in Objects Action Drop Down List -->

.

</model>

4. In the <WT_HOME>\codebase\config\actions\custom-actions.xml file add objecttype for above action. I below will goes to this file:

<objecttype name="customInflateNoteActions" class="wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.ptc.ptcnet.DynamicDocument|com.ptc.ptcnet.Note" resourceBundle="ext.TEST.ActionDefinitionsRB" >

<action name="inflateNotes" uicomponent="" ajax="component">

<description>Create a Inflate Note</description>

<command class="" method="execute" windowType="popup" url="netmarkets/jsp/ext/custom/InflateNotes/inflateNotes.jsp" />

</action>

</objecttype>

5. Place your inflateNotes.jsp file under <WT_HOME>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\ext\custom\InflateNotes directory

6. Create a Resource file ActionDefinitionsRB under <WT_HOME>\src\ext\TEST directory which renders Labelling for your custom action

7. Compile this Resource file ActionDefinitionsRB with below command from Windchill Shell: (Do not copy paste above command in Windchill Shell)

tools class -Dclass.includes=ext\TEST\**
