Windchill

PDF/A is a ISO normed standard for PDF file used for long term archiving.CAD Workers for Creo Parametric are able to create PDF/A beside standard PDF Format, but not for Creo Elements/Direct and SolidWorks. By using SealSystems converter before introducing Windchill we used that feature for those CAD systems before but missing it in Windchill.

Title: Windchill Upgrades: How Do You Handle Automated Browser Testing and Regression Testing?Hello Windchill Community,One of the recurring challenges in managing a Windchill environment is ensuring that existing business processes continue to work as expected after an upgrade or a major configuration change.While upgrading Windchill can bring important improvements, validating the impact on existing functionality remains a significant effort. Key user journeys — such as navigating the product structure, managing documents, updating attributes, working with change objects, or executing approval workflows — need to be tested again and again.Manual regression testing can quickly become time-consuming, especially when the number of customizations, integrations, and business-specific processes grows.Automated browser testing seems like an obvious solution, but in practice, many teams encounter a different challenge: how do you build automated tests that remain reliable and maintainable ac

We have multiple Windchill Enviroments and no real way to see where emails come from.like subscription, task, error emails all look basicly the same.Seaching for an clear answer seems to be impossible, i tested a few mentioned options but they don’t seem to work. I should be able to change the email templates but its not working as documented. I have made an custom.properties file that contains the enviroment name.Restarted server to clear cache etc.  Please is there a clear instruction to alter said items to include a custom enviroment name in the email titles.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.4 Hello, i am working in modelization of types and attributes in Windchill objects. I want to modelize the creation of new attributes using Local/Standard Attributes. Our implementation process is : - Create a Softtype as a subtype of standard type - Run AddColumn utility - Create Local/Standard Attributes through Type And Attribute Manager Once the development done, we put in code configuration : exported types (XML format), *TypeInfo.java, *TypeInfo.classInfo.ser, SQL File (Alter Table add column). When the Standard/Local attribute is created, the available column is allocated, but the issue is that when we deploy in differents environments, it seems to have a gap in the mapping between the Business attribute and the column in DataBase. For Example : - Env 1 : attr1 mapped to PTC_STR_1TYPEINFO and attr2 mapped to PTC_STR_2TYPEINFO - Env 2 : attr1 mapped to PTC_STR_2TYPEINFO and attr2 mapped to PTC_STR

Data Monitor are run on saved Query builder reports.OOTB it give option the format to be generated for email, such as xml, HTML, csv, etc.These formats are similar to query builder reports, simple rows and columns.Is there a way the generated HTML can be customized to suit your format/layout.Any references would be appriciated.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.26 Recently in our test environment we have identified that APE publishes wait until 9:58pm to start the publish. The worker is set to auto start and does not have an 'available time' set which I believe would mean it should always be available. I have been unable to identify a setting or configuration that would force Windchill to hold the publish till a set time to then send to PE.

At times we need to send links to multiple Windchill objects to a user, currently this involves opening each object and copying the URL, or emailing them individually.It would be very useful if there was a menu option to allow the links to be copied from the search results, or from the folder view, so that they can be pasted into an email.

I recently went through the steps to create Alias Attributes to display CN Numbers and CN Names and this worked very well for parts and EPM Docs.  When I did the exact same steps to show this information for Reference Documents, the values are only displayed for the Admin account that actually created the Alias Attributes.  Other users and other Admins do not see the values.I have checked Attribute Visibility, given full control of the reference document to a test user, looked for any deny permissions, examined profiles, and looked for layouts all to no avail. Any ideas why it went so smoothly for two Types and not the third?Windchill Version: 13

Hi all,We're on Windchill 13.0 and I'm building a Role permission review workflow. For every Product, Library and Project, each member of the Product/Library/Project Manager role has to confirm that the permissions are correct. The task has only the standard Complete Task button, no reject and no custom routing. Every manager should manually review their respective container’s role and add/remove users and groups accordingly.Right now an Execute Expression robot loops over all containers, reads the members of the role group (Product/Library/Project Manager role), and for each WTUser starts a separate process from a shared task template. It sets assignedUser (a WTUser variable) and primaryBusinessObject, and every process from the same run gets the same batchId. It works fine. Everyone gets their own task with a link to the container's Team page.The goal is that once any one of the managers completes their task, the tasks of all the other managers of that container are completed automat

We use Inventor and AutoCAD. However, when we open CAD data from the workspace, the CAD application window does not automatically come to the foreground. PTC Support provided the following response:Due to a limitation of WGM, the CAD application window cannot automatically come to the foreground when CAD data is opened from the workspace.This behavior is not limited to Inventor and AutoCAD. It also occurs with NX and SOLIDWORKS when they are integrated with WGM.The related article is available here:https://www.ptc.com/ja/support/article/CS452958?source=caseviewer&as=1As I understand it, this issue causes inconvenience for all CAD users, regardless of which CAD tool they use.Could you share how you handle this issue in your environment?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.26 If a SolidWorks custom propertiy is existing with the same name like the Windchill attribute, than the value of the "Windchill name Attribute" will updated in the SolidWorks file - the mapped SolidWorks custom property will be ignored. If the "Windchill name Attribute" is NOT existing in the SolidWorks file, than the mapped SolidWorks custom property will be updated correctly. We want the assigned SolidWorks custom property to always be updated — not the "Windchill name Attribute" attribute. The questions need to be answered: How to force Windchill / Windchill Workgroup Manager to assign the correct mapped property ?
