Windchill desktop integration basic settings/configuration

Hello all,

l have some basic problem with Windchill desktop integration. My directory settings is default set to "view_recent_n_fav_contexts" everytime l open COMPUTER ---> PTCPLACES ---> WINDCHILL ---> PRODUCTS. Is there any chance set it to "view_all_contexts"?

Hi Milan --

Yes! You can set this using the preference manager utility in Windchill:

From Windchill, go to Quick Links > My Settings > Preferences

The preference is available under Documents.


Right-click Default contexts under Windchill Documents in Windows Explorer.

Click Set Preference and set it to All
