Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.1. What product and version are you running?The Creo View  12.1 and Windchill 12.1.2.15 is used (but all before showing same obstacle) 2. What is the problem?If a dynamic Document (like Illustration Source or Illustration Output) – see object Icons …  … wanted to be viewed directly from Windchill, the File can not be opened by …ACTIONS -> Open in -> Open in Creo View .. even, the file itself is from Type *.PVZ 3. Are you using a workaround? If yes, please describe it.The alternatives are annoying and inefficient (regarding Storage and way to open)Alternative 1:Download the file and open it from Disk with Creo View        Inefficient and takes more time to get itAlternative 2Publish the PVZ towards a 2nd Content PVZ        Inefficient use of resources (e.g. Workers and licenses)     &

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.7Is is possible to have a Deliverable with multiple linked Plan Activities, in a Product container, have its % Complete automatically updated as the completion of activities is updated?It seems like you can only have the Deliverable % Complete auto-update if you have only one linked Activity and the Plan has the " Link deliverables with project activities" checked when you create the Plan, but then you can only link one activity. Here's an example of my use-case:I have a WBS structure organized by product function. Each function may have a "Release Drawings" activity, for example. I'd like to create a deliverable that consolidates all "Release Drawings" activities and have it's % Complete reflect the % Complete of all linked activities.

We are upgrading from Windchill 12.0 to Windchill 13.0 on the test server, and I see the license count on the Production server has doubled compared to the previous license count once done with the Test upgrade. We are using local LDAP and not enterprise LDAP is that the issue or any other reason?

We need access control based on "View" e.g. Manufacturing view should be accessible only to a role "Manufacturing engineer" Does Windchill 10.1 supports it ? If not, is it included in Windchill product roadmap in future ?We have different Manufacturing Plants, for these we need to create different Manufacting views for released eBOM.In order to control access for Design and Manufacturing views we are creating different roles for Design engineer and Manufacturing Engineer.Can we have access coontrols based on the view of the BOM?

Dear Team,We are seeking a report that identifies all empty workspaces in Windchill.Has anyone previously worked on a similar requirement or developed a report for this purpose?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I want to list all (promotion) processes that are currently runningDescription: Hi All I have a small issue that i don't understandI below a part of the process tab of a promotion request. As you can see the process is still running. But when i lookup the same process is don't result in any processes.I'm sure the process isn't finished. because for example in the promotion request there is a model with where the previous released version was B.2. It is now revised and the current released  version should become C.4. when the promotion process is over the B.2 should get the state 'replaced'. And (at least )not all of the objects has changed.The reason i ask this is that i want all still running processes (i know there are more, but i don't want to check every promotion / change request etc manually)Am i doing something wrong? OR is it possible that because of a (automatic)restart the process is corrupted? OR is it something else?&nbs

Hello everyone, I`m working with a lot of pipe spools on my company and we are migrating models from SE to CREO and starting working with all PTC programs (CREO and WIndchill). My question/issue is, when creating .asm of pipe spools (with spec driven or with non spec driven) I had all my structture correctly arranged on Windchill with all my WT parts for each part, but I have no clear info for the line stocks of the pipes and their quantities of length...Is there an option to include the line stock (name) in the Windchill structure, like having a WT part associated to a Line stock?Also, how do you manage that? You associate the parameters of the CAD pipes like line stock and length to attributes to the WT parts and have the info there to supply chain to bought the quantity for each part? Is there an automatic way to sum up the quantities for same line stock in a same .asm in the Windchill structure? Thanks in advance

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I want to identify when a document in Windchill is created using the Insert New option and store that information in an attribute. Later, when a usage link is created for that document, it should detect this attribute and update some related values automatically. Basically, I want to differentiate between Insert New and Insert Existing actions for documents.Description: I am trying to capture the event when a document is created using the Insert New action inside the structure tab.However, Windchill doesn’t provide a direct event to distinguish between Insert New and Insert Existing actions.So, how can I achieve this: when a user creates a document using Insert New, attributes such as Customer Number, Project Number, etc. (which exist in both the parent and child) should automatically get updated from the parent.If the document is created using Insert Existing, the attribute values should not be updated.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: The problem is that the converted drawing takes up too much space on the server.Description: Hello, I'm currently experiencing a server overflow issue. After checking the database and server, I believe the issue is due to the large number of drawings being checked in or created by new rendering tasks. I haven't been deleting these unnecessary drawings, so I think there are too many. There are 34 million data items in the Vault, making backup and recovery difficult. Does anyone know of a way to resolve or somewhat alleviate this situation? Thank you
