In case you missed the live webcast where James Paschetto, PLM Technical Specialist, Principal at PTC demonstrated some of the key new features in PTC Windchill 11, you can now access the recorded version.
Here are some of the demonstration highlights:
- New Windchill Search: The search capabilities in PTC Windchill 11 are significantly more complete and effective. The classification search included with Windchill Partslink, and the traditional Windchill attribute searching, are now combined. This means users can search on both classification information and/or business attributes simultaneously.
- Enhancements to Query Builder: We have completely redesigned the UI and implemented a HTML interface instead of the java applet. The new graphical user interface makes understanding the relationships between the objects easier to create, and understand. Query Builder now allows you to filter and display only the object types and available relationships that you are using in your deployment of PTC Windchill when you are creating new reports.
- Addition of Role-based Apps: Because of our new PTC Windchill and ThingWorx connection, PTC is able to deliver simple, easy to use apps that unleash product data to all participants in the product development process. Apps include: View Part, View Drawing, View Parts List, View Part Structure, View & Measure 3D Geometry and View Documents.
- Change Management Improvements: For the first time, PTC Windchill customers can now configure their own change management processes to match their business needs. PTC Windchill 11 introduces flexible change associations allowing the ability to configure links between a variety of change objects.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the new capabilities available in PTC Windchill 11. Other enhancements demonstrated during the webcast include:
- Updates to BoM management
- MPMLink and BoM transformation
- Document management enhancements
- Automatic project updates
- CAD data management enhancements
- Connected quality
