How to display Windchill CAD files on ThingWorx Flow

Hi Community, 

I have installed ThingWorx Flow and configured it with Windchill Server. For Testing purpose I tried creating a sample Workflow which will use GetViewables to retrieve windchill visualizations as 3D thumbnails. 

Could you please suggest how I can display this on ThingView Widget?

What should be next step to retrieve list of CAD Documents and Parts and display it on a ThingWorx UI.

 

Thanks,

Siddharth

Hi @Siddharth_Jhs 

 

Disable Async in Workflow Webhook

Map URL to Workflow Output

Open WorkFlow Thing in Composer. Navigate to service, you can find your workflow name as service. You can get the URL by executing the service.

 

Since I don't have a proper example in my test windchill. I have mapped the part name as output.

Hi @Siddharth_Jhs 

 

You can map the URL to widget property "ProductToView"  to load the 3D Model

You can find all Thingworx Workflow as a Service in Workflows Thing

You can use those services to show data in Thingworx UI

Hi @Velkumar ,

Thanks for your response. In my previous queries you and ptc community have provided me solution on loading data on mashup using thingView widget. I am getting stuck how to transfer this url to ThingWorx mashup. Any best practice example available using flow in which I can query list of CAD documents via Flow and display on mashup for my internal demo.

 

Thanks,

Siddharth
