Integration of Windchill Workgroup Manager (WWGM) 13.0.1.1 with Creo

[VB_12246828]

I have installed Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0 and Creo Parametric 10.0.7.0 along with Windchill Workgroup Manager (WWGM) 13.0.1.1. I am looking to integrate WWGM with Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0 and register it with a new server to enable seamless interaction and functionality.

Steps already completed:

1. Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0 is installed on my system.
2. Windchill Workgroup Manager 13.0.1.1 is installed and configured.
3. I have previously integrated WWGM 13.0.1.1 with SolidWorks 2024 and AutoCAD 2024, but they are not functioning properly.

Issues:

• Integration with Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0: I need to complete the integration of WWGM with Creo Parametric 11 and register it with the new server.
• SolidWorks 2024 & AutoCAD 2024 Integration: These integrations are not functioning as expected. I am experiencing issues that block my daily activities, and I need assistance with resolving them.

Additional Information:

• Operating System: [Provide your OS details, e.g., Windows 10, 64-bit]
• Windchill Workgroup Manager Version: 13.0.1.1
• Creo Parametric Versions: 11.0.3.0 and 10.0.7.0
• SolidWorks Version: 2024
• AutoCAD Version: 2024

Please assist me in:

1. Completing the integration process between WWGM and Creo Parametric 11.0.3.0.
2. Investigating why the integration with SolidWorks and AutoCAD is not functioning, despite successful initial setup.
3. Providing guidance on troubleshooting and resolving these issues to enable smooth operation.

This issue is blocking my daily activities, and I would appreciate prompt assistance in resolving it.

Thank you for your support.

Creo Parametric does not work with  WWGM. It has native connections inside of it. WWGM is not needed for Creo Parametric to connect to Windchill.

Hello @VB_12246828 

As @avillanueva mentioned, Creo Parametric in its recent releases no longer needs Workgroup Manager, it connects directly with Windchill PLM via "Direct Link", you only have to check the compatibility between Creo and Windchill in Software Matrices/Release Advisor.

See Article - CS262259 - A new Direct Link to Windchill option has been introduced in Creo Illustrate 4.1

You still need to install WWGM for Solidworks and AutoCAD, again you need to confirm that your stack are compatible with each other via Software Matrices/Release Advisor.
