Indexing / full text search of Creo Parametric drawings

[MikeLockwood]

Just got answer on case C13866841. 

Indexing of Creo Drawings has been available and functional for many releases - but does not work per this case on 11.0 M030 CPS01.  Am told that it is fixed in CPS04, not yet released.

We installed and configued Solr as documented, and then modified the DRW type in dataformats as documented, then tested using our test drawing with many searchable words - didn't return any results.

So - Just asking if anyone else has experience using full text search with Creo Drawings over time and now any experience with this in 11.0.  PTC evidently made major changes in the approach for indexing and Solr install with 11.0 and didn't address drawings somehow.

thanks in advance

Same issue here. Worked in 10.2 M030 and earlier does not work in 11.0 M030. Our case number is C13852218. So far the TS person on this case hasn't mentioned any other customers having issues. Glad to know it will be fixed in CPS04.

Downloaded CPS04 (Windchill 11.0 M030), updated one of my test servers and can confirm that indexing again works for Creo Parametric drawings.
