Question

Create a Custom Wizard in Windchill?

Hi,

I'm trying to learn UI customization and trying to create a custom Action as well as a Wizard. I found a TPI 150612 which talks about creation of a New Tab, however it's not much of a use. Have any one tried that? Please share on how to do that.

I'm presently working on Windchill 10 and have a basic understanding of JCA architecture and actions.xml, actionmodels.xml and RBInfo rendering.

Please provide an example on how to add an action which subsequently triggers a wizard and how to create a custom wizard for an OOTB functionality.

Windchill Customizer guide is not much of a help here.

Thanks,

Chris

Have you looked at the "Constructing Wizards" and "Adding Actions and Hooking Them UP in the UI" chapters?

The most recent version of the guide is located here: http://www.ptc.com/view?im_dbkey=135892

I've also looked at the guide..and it's not very clear on "how to do it" part. Any example or a clear documentation would be appreciated.

    Hi @ChrisPeters,

    Steps to create new custom wizard are little different everytime depending on where on the Windchill UI you want to create the wizard.

    First of all you have to identify which OOTB action model the current UI is using. Then you have to copy this action model from respective actions.xml to custom-actions.xml and then add you own action.

     

    There are couple of KB article available in PTC Support knowledgebase which can give you an excellent walkthrought on how to do that. I am sharing some of article URLs for your reference.

     

    I hope they help you in understadning & creating custom wizard.

     

    Regards,

    Shirish
