Unable to upload a CAD document(creo assembly) to windchill using windchill interface

Hello everyone,

 

I'm seeking assistance with uploading a local Creo assembly to Windchill 13.0. Despite my efforts, I haven't been successful in completing the upload process.

 

Here's what I've tried so far:

  • I attempted to upload the assembly as a simple document through Site -> Folders. However, this method does not recognize it as a part or an assembly, nor does it identify the child parts.

 

Based on the documentation, it appears that I may need to upload the assembly as a product rather than as a document in my site folder. However, I'm not entirely sure about the correct procedure for this.

Could someone please provide guidance on the proper steps to upload a Creo assembly to Windchill so that it is recognized correctly as an assembly with its child parts?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi @saood 

The Documents are used for normal files from your disc like a excel, word, txt file and so on.

If you need to upload CAD Document file especially Creo part or assembly you have to use Creo Parametric.

 

Open the Creo Parametric,

Register the Windchill address with your login

Create a Workspace

Open assembly in your Creo Session

Save the assembly to the workspace

Upload the files and check in from the Workspace.

Done.

 

PS> I would advice you to participate a CAD Data management training to learn how to work with a Windchill as a designer.

Thank you for the help PetrH. I was hoping to perform this operation without connecting to creo, but it seems its unavoidable.
I would like to know more about the CAD Data management training you mentioned, can you point me in the right direction. Thanks again.

Hi @saood 

The best option is to contact your license provider and ask for a training

or you can use PTC sources
