We need to extract 3D and 2D data from an old WindChill server.  Everything is up and running, we just need someone who has WindChill and developer experience to run appropriate scripts.  Let me know if you can help.

Thank you.

Sorry to see you go. I would recommend @d_graham to assist. This should be executed from a workspace via a Creo session to make sure that data is brought out properly. How many CAD objects are we talking about in your server? Is it Creo data (assumed) or some other CAD application?

    We are looking to export only Creo data which is is the only type present on that machine.  I cant tell how many objects is in it but roughly it containts about 10 year worth or work for a 10 person team.  I gut is that manual approach is not an option.

    Workspaces can handle thousands of objects. If you get a complete list (from a query for example), you can even have Creo run a macro to download each file and save it somewhere. It would run for a bit but would not require a person to sit there and click buttons. I know I had a user who wanted to extract all drawing notes from all drawings. They created a Creo macro that interacted with a VBA script to do that job.
