Question

Create Cad Document

Hello ALL, Long time, no chat.

I have ran into a situation, where a ptc training video, along with ptc support says there should be a "Create CAD Document" checkbox displayed on the New Wtpart page.

But in my current contract environment, it does not show.

Only 1 real ptc search page shows that you cant change a preference to hide the check box, but you can change the PartAttributes jsp page & either set change the true to false or vice versa.

Of remark/remove whole block on checkbox.

Has anybody ran into this. It showed to have been offered 1st in 10.0 & all version after.

PTC said there might be a customization on our installs, but the 3rd party services firm, didnt do much customizations & I dont think they would adjust a jsp to remove functionality without the windchill agreeing to it.

So can people look & respond on whether it shows for you.

Or has anybody ran into this & found the resolution. I am new here, so I dont have access to the box to view the jsp....yet.

Basically they want to create structures from the wtpart side & only the fly, have one, some be able to create an empty epmdoc cad (start part), while creating children of a wtpart structure. Some with cad, some with wtdoc, etc. Some blank for bulk items.

There doesnt seem to be an option on create a wtdoc (same as cad), but I might try to write something, where it uses a empty word doc, pdf (other wtdocs).

If anybody did that such thing & has code, I (along with others) would appreciate a copy.

But the main thing is to see if everybody else can see the "Create CAD Document" check box on the wtpart creation page.

PTC says its ootb, but who knows. they are still on the call, checking for a reason, but I assume they will say there is likely a customization which hides it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Check the profiles and configurations of the wizard screens in the type and
attribute manager...enable log4j verbosities that show if the box is being
conditionally hidden

Check if you already have CAD Templates created at Product/org/site level

Thanks Yogesh

it might be a version & datecode thing, because I seen a ptc page that shows it resolved in 10.1 M050 & IM on M040
But it showed is fixed on 10.2 M020. I think also 10.0 M050

So I am surprised it showed/worked on 10.2 M010. but thats good to know.

The odd part is that the issue wasnt resolved in all 10.X versions. Makes you think they work on all 3 versions (0,1,2)
all at same time & once they found it in one, they updated all in M050 & M020.

It turned out that some one edited the jsp & changed a true to false.

As shown on ptc page: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS44021


We are changing it back. They had a defineItemAttributesWizStep.jsp-original with true in it,
so some one before me (2011) made that mod.


I hope it wasnt because it didnt work well in 10.1 M040, where that was reported in ptc.com knowledge base.


We shall see.


Thanks for all the feedback.


Thanks

Need better documentation and source control if unknown or forgotten
changes occur. Eeeek.

I never saw any problems using it with 10.1 M040.

Dave, you should see this place. Forget About It...Haha

Next quesion folks.

Its working now for single new part creation, but doesnt see to show or be avaiable for Multi Part Creation.

Where it pops a windows with 5 rows of newly part/wtpart numbered or not.

But doesnt seem to have a checkbox, option for create new cad.

My questions is. Is it supposed to? If so, I might have more hidden / edited code.

I appreciate all responses.

Thanks
Larry Jett
