Hello,

are there any enhancement details released yet?

If so it would be great and I would be much appreciated if someone have something like slides or stuff and if they could share it.

I couldn´t find something in the knowledge base.

cheers

    I am also very much interested. We are finalising our PLM evaluation and Vendor proposed 10.2. When I mentioned 11 (as Go Live and even Test server will not be available before February or MArch next year), They say, Oh we do not even know when it goes out.....) but I would hope that 11 will be a similar improvement jump as from 9 to 10.

    The release F000 is supposed to be due in December so surely PTC already know very well what is in 11

    Best regards

      Hi Tom.

      Thanks for noticing.

      I would add there is one more big theme that I worked on (I am not the only PO at PTC) and that is improvements to naming and numbering:

      I worked on a theme that many customers like to have the CAD Doc File Name == CAD Doc Number == "Base Number" of the related Part.  With this in mind, Windchill 11.0 allows you to:

      • Consistently keep the extension in Generated CAD Document Numbers:   Upload, New CAD Document, Save As, Rename will all follow a server-side preference Drop File Extension From Number.  If set to No, then even if the OIRs are set up to generate number, you can have the system generate the number with the appropriate file extension.
      • Auto Associate to Create Parts based on CAD Document Number even if OIR for Part is to Generate Number:   Most customers I speak with are a mix of top down and bottom up part creation.  In Windchill 11.0, if your OIRs generate Part number; but it does NOT have an immutable constraint AND the server-side preference, Force Create Autonumbered Parts is set to No, then we shall use the CAD Document's Number instead of generating a new number.
      • Improvements to Auto Associate to support multiple CAD Documents associated to the same part:  When you have the policy that CAD Doc File Name == CAD Doc Number == "Base Number", the CAD Document number will have additional info make it unique (e.g.  extension, prefix or suffix:  001234.prt, 001234_flex001.prt, 001234.drw).  In 11.0, you can set a new server-side preference to use the CAD Doc's base number to find the matching part number.  The out of the box behavior would associate/create one Part for 001234.prt, 001234_flex001.prt, 001234.drw numbered 001234.  The behavior for finding the "base number" is configurable.
      • Improvements to Rename to support multiple CAD Documents with the same base number as the Part:  As stated above, When you have the policy that CAD Doc File Name == CAD Doc Number == "Base Number", the CAD Document number will have additional info make it unique (e.g.  extension, prefix or suffix:  001234.prt, 001234_flex001.prt, 001234.drw).   It is hard to keep these in sync with the changing Part numbers.  Rename will have a new option to "Generate document number based on related Part".   This option will find the Part and CAD Document's base number and then will replace the CAD Doc's base number with the Part's base number.

      I hope you are excited about Windchill 11.0 and for those who are involved in Technical committees, there will be more details in those meetings.

      Thanks

      Jennifer

        Too bad it won't help us at all since we don't use WTParts.  Not good.

        One of the best ways to do this is pay attention to the SPR's and articles via subscription that target X30, the code name for WC11.  The best way is too mention product owners as content in your post presuming you know who these folks are.  Your technical support reps, depending on maintenance levels can also get you in touch with these folks.

          Looking at the Product Calendar, Creo Parametric has an actual date assigned for future releases.

          Windchill 11 only has the month and year.

          Could PTC delay it? Yes

          We have already been over 2 years since 10.2 was initially released.

          We pay annual maintenance for what????

            Windchill 11 has eleven new features, a new GUI style and some small enhancements. I haven't seen any spectacular news around it. For sure, there a some great new features like role based apps but first we need to see what the license model looks like. I'm pretty sure that the OOTB solution will be included and if you need to change anything then it costs too much for a SMB so they are forced to implement another solution like exporting the viewables to a file system.... The new search looks promising and also the new Report Builder (Query Builder) looks nice. It looks like PTC has changed the UI to another coding. Perhaps we see this UI more often in Windchill...? I would hope so.

            I still hope that PTC doesn't forget the two main products like PDMLink and Creo. At the moment I have honestly some concerns about that. There are still some old school applets (Only admins needs to use them) and I haven't still heard anything reliable that Creo View is replaced by a HTML5 Viewer... One source told me, that something is planed in Windchill 11 M020. So this will take another year until Creo View plugin is replaced. Until then, most customer are sticked to IE 11 or Firefox since Chrome isn't supported anymore.

            At PTCLiveWorx in Stuttgart one question was, that over 1500 ideas have the state open in this ptcusercommunity. PTC promised to change something in the workflow in the next few month. I'm curious about it.
