Slight correction to the location of config.pro. It is not in the install directory, but another directory under the load point.
On my Creo 4, config.pro is here: X:\PTC\creo4f000\Creo 4.0\F000\Common Files\text
X:\ptc\Creo4f000 being my load point specified in the installer.

The problem is that you are eliminating the end line when the radius is equal to the part thickness and the softwrae cannot handle that condition. You can do a .124 radius on the ,125 thickness, but not .125. If you really need the .125, then skecthing the arc is the only method.

I do not think you can do that as parts, assemblies and drawings all use the same OIR.
If you create yor own OIR for the various file types, if possible, then you could control it.
To get the number sequence, the OIRs would need to use the same sequence number in Oracle.
You must be able to download files in oorder to use them in an assembly. You can put rules in place that make all library content read-only to your users.

I have not seen anything specific, but I have not been looking since I have only used PDMLink since 6.2.6 and the last Intralink I used was 3.3.

You must do an Intralink 10.2 to PDMLink 10.2 upgrade before you can go to a newer version of Windchill.

My vaults are in a drive letter path name since they are on the same server as Windchill.
I already knew of the UNC restriction from Windchill 7 days when we put the vaults on a third server, a NetApp Filer.

No replica servers, all vaults on a single server, the Windchill server, on a separate disk.
Windchill installed on E: drive and vaults on F: drive on server 1.
Oracle installed on e: drive on server 2.
I use the same setup for my production and test environments. All physical machines with 2-hex core processors, no hyper-threading and 32 GB of memory.

I am working on a test upgrade of Windchill PDMLink 10.0 m040 to 11.0 m030. I got about 2/3 of the way through the Upgrade Manager Tasks and now I hit a failure. The task that fails is Update Container Templates and the first setp is to Start Windchill Server. I think it is failing because the HTTP service is not starting, but I can find no log files, cache files, etc, that can be used to trace the failure. I did manually start the Windchill Method Servers and then rerun the task, but that just started by stopping the MS amd then failing to restart them.
Does anyone have some hints on where to look before I open a help call with PTC?

Brute force!!!
I created a document that was sent to every user and it explained how and what settings they had to use to register Windchill to their user id in Creo. One of the items, underlined and in bold red text, was the server SHALL be named PDM.
Naming the server across all users is the only way to enable the use of wtpub::\\ for library and other files. The actual name does not matter, just that it MUST be the same for all users.
I have also created a mapkey to register the server, but found the explaination in my document as to what and why worked better.
I have a small group of users so it isn't hard to control. In my last job I had over 250 users and it took a week or 2 to get them all on the same page. Had 1 user 2 months after installing a new server, he had never switched to it and was still accessing the old server. Some people just don't read emails and memos!

Looking at the 2 images, you cannot do the .25 radius on the tip portion of your model because of the taper.
In order to do the taper, you need to rip the radius part of the straight section so you can get the taper formed.
Am I correct in guessing that the flat stock looks like a pie wedgecut outwhich when formed makes the taper end?

When I do the import with it set for append, my Windchill_11.0 node is repalced by Windchill_10. and Windchill_9.0 nodes. Also none of the data from my company o=usec node is being written. It is all dumping to the skipped.txtx file. I did take a backup of the Windchill_11.0 OOTB structure and it restores fine. I am going to try to create the DN of o=usec then do another import of the Windchill_10.0/9.0 data. That did not work.The Windchill_11.0 node under o=ptc is still being deleted. Without that node the Upgrade Manager fails.

If you bought the software from a dealer or PTC direct, you have the information needed to download the installation manuals.
If you need to get a license file, you can do that through PTC's web site.

I was looking at the same thing Doug is. The hardware parameters are not being transferred to your drawing for some reason. I tried designating the parameters in the partfile but that did not help.
This has me stumped, but I had to get some of my own work done today, too! I will think about it over the long weekend and try again on Tuesday.

In the relation editor, you can verify if an expression will evaluate correctly by using the =? button.
In your case, if exists(asm_mbr_designatation) returns an error, which is why the code isn't working.

Without a Windchill baed solution, PDMLink, PDMLink Essentials or Intralink, you are left to rely on manual entry into a secondary system for that data. The PTC Cloud Intralink is still Windchill-based.
Excel spreadsheet is the easiest or with some [programming, Access DB can handle most of what you want for tracking purposes.

How small is 'small'?
How many designers/Creo users do you have?
Is there a lot of sharing of parts between assemblies?
Certainly Windchill PDMLink Essentials can handle it, but it is still a system that needs someone to understand how it works.

Can you use a string parameter to drive your interchange instead of a floating number? That would make it cleaner and there would be no rounding. Possibly an integer may be an alterntive.

The port numbers are correct.
Is Windchill DS (and Windchill) set to starst as services or are they manually started whenever you 'need' Windchill?
Has the WindchillDS somehow been changed?

I am working on an inplace upgrade from Windchill 10.0 m040 to Windchill 11.0 m030, and Oracle from 11g to 12c.
I have taken my production data and rehosted it to my test servers and verified that it runs. There are no WinDU errors but some potential problems that I am working through simultaneously.
I have done the import of Oracle into 12c with no errors.
I have done the import of the LDAP into Windchill DS for 11.0, overridding the OOTB box data.
When I run Upgrade Manager, it gets to the Verify Supported Upgrade Path step and runs for a few minutes and then fails. The failed messages is: Missing Configuration branch: The configuration branch on the target directory server appears to be missing.
I do have a configuration brnach under WC10 node under o=ptc. I had to create the o=usec before doing my import from the WC10 export.
Any pointers as to how to correct this?

There are config.pro settings to point to templates and start part folders.
Here is an example from another company's config.pro. They mapped the S: drive as their shared location.

I would create a shared drive location on one of the computers and then map it to another drive lettter, like P: or X:. Create a folder on that drive named Templates and store your templates and formats in that folder. To protect the contents from being changed, make the folder read-only.

Since IT does not do Creo installs, I put it on my E: drive in a PTC folder. I can still control security of the files, yet have full access to the config.* files in the text folder. We use a network location for our install, so I only have to install in one location and all usres have the latest build.

Very simple answer is NO.
Not sure if the educational version supports GCRI, but that is only for models, not drawings.
One of you needs to change to the version used by the other, and it should be the professor!

Unreferenced Files report in WinDU is where I noticed the problem.
The log files from WinDU for each folder show issues with a number of files, usually a Possibly Corrupt DB message for many files. The Unreferenced file report shows 0 or a few unreferenced files, a lot less that the folder log file references.
I have run the Unreferenced Files WinDU task numerous times and still see the differences.
I have run the information in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS100138 and see nothing being cleaned up.
If I don't hear from the PTC support person today, I will escalate the call due to lack of response!
