This tool has been available on the PTC/USER forum for some time but the installation package didn't make it during the migration of data to the PTC Community.

The discussion from the PTC/USER forum was included in the migration and can be found here: Windchill Cache Recovery Tool.

Installation via the msi bypassed the check, and it seems to run!

Hi,

 

Thank you for this beautiful tool. It saves me so many times!

 

I just want to notify some errors/problems with Windchill 11.x/Creo 4.0

 

When I try to use this utility in Windchill 11.0 (latest updates) and Windchill 11.1 I can't recover DRW files.

Every time I try to select and restore a DRW file, the Recovery tool prompts the error: unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

 

In Windchill 11.1, files name are modified with a black square with white "?". This is a problem, because when I try to import the files, Creo can have difficulties with relationschip.
