Hello,

I am uisng Thingworx 8.3 and Windchill 11.1.

In Windchill connector there is a service called "GetCreoDataView" .  This service returns thumbnail, structure, files.

Files in service consist of file name, linkHTML, URL, icon .

But, I am not able to download file. linkHTML is not working and also URL.

 

How to use them, or is their any other way to download representation files?

 

 

 

linkHTML I get is ,

Ok, to get Representation files from windchill,

there is a service in "ptc-windchill-integration-connector" called as "GetDesignFiles ".

 

 

just pass the parameter to it and you will get back JSON.

 

 

e.g. Create a custom service and paste the code below

 

var mycontent={
"objectIds": [oid],
"expand" : "Representation"
}

var params = {
request: mycontent /* JSON */,
CSRF_NONCE:me.getCSRF() /* STRING */
};

// result: JSON
var resultJSON = Things["ptc-windchill-integration-connector"].Content_GetDesignFiles(params);
