Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: Replace the primary content of an existing creo drawing object with another .drw fileDescription: Is it possible to replace the primary content of a creo drawing object with another .drw file? We have drawing objects which just contain a pdf in WC11 but need the primary content replaced with actual CAD data from WC10.  The only other options I have at the moment is overwriting the current object in WC11 or renaming the object from WC10 so there is no naming conflict. Neither have a desirable outcome as I don't want to lose the current history of the WC11 object and I also don't want to create similar duplicates

Hello community,Here in 12.1.1.0 Windchill workgroup manager. there is some model, that is saved in local computer. I opened that model in SolidWorks. It is completely savable file. SolidWorks have PTC Windchill tab, I used "Save to workspace" option to save in workspace. the file was saved and i did checked in to Library container.After checking in, I again checkout and open in SolidWorks, i see filename (read only) on SolidWorks window. when I am saving. it is not saving into workspace, and it is giving " this file is read only".I checked my access; I am having full control access on all the objects in library.I need to what is the root cause, why the files are changed to read only?Is there any preference for this cause?

I'm wondering if anyone has heard what specific date Windchill 13.0.2 will be released? The PTC Product Calendar month/year currently shows July 2024. It's been this way for a few months now. July is right around the corner and it would be nice if PTC would provide some transparency on when so users of their software can adequately plan for the upgrade.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I'm trying to use pdmlink's family mpmlink. It is said that department data is used to store information about attributes related to the various functions of the plant, but in creating downstream, only the plant is created and no department is created.Description: screen shot---------------------------------------------------     

I am setting up a new set of purge criteria and noticed something strange on the date range ones (Created, Modified).  I chose the day of creation (same value filled in for start and finish), and then began adding more criteria... everytime I added a new criteria item, the date range for my Created item was reduced by a day. It's easily fixed if I remember to look at the dates, but very weird.  Is this something that's been noticed before?

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: I created new instances in of a released family table my workspace while developing some new assemblies. I then added them to a change request that was then used to create a change notice to release the assemblies and revise the family table part. Now I cannot update the base part because it is incompatible with the new instances which cannot be deleted because they are on the change request. The admin cannot remove the new instances from the change request because he cannot see them on it. I can see them on the change request but cannot make changes. Description: How can we remove the new instances from the change request so that I can update the family table part?

My requirement is to search the user from Workflow Task > Resource pool .ResourcePool for a specific Task has the role and Groups Mapped . I need to Search the user by UserName in groups only that are allocated to the Resource Pool for that Workflow Task .I could find the Users and return the List of Users from The Context team  and specific Role . However ,  Challenge comes  , when user had to search for a User which is not a member of Group .Is there any API , I can Use to find the users that are member of Groups added to Resource pool? My action call is from ThingWorx and I need to create an WebService , which returns the user only if Present in Resource pool 

Has anyone (with limited or no customization), came up with a way to limit the type of a process object to select based on the base object type?   The use case I am investigating is this: Subtype of Change Review (called Milestone Review). I want users to create Problem Reports against the review to document issues found while completing the review using a subtype of a PR (Review Finding).    Ideally, even from the Action menu I would like the selection to be "New Review Finding" instead of "New Problem Report" when being created against the "Milestone Review" subtype.           Alternatively, when "New Problem Report" is selected, I would like it to default to "Review Finding" as the subtype in the New PR wizard  

We have configured our windchill to use port 8080 as 80 port is not available in RHEL server. could you please advise if there is a way to hide the 8080 port in our URL. we basically do not want the port number to be visible to anyone who access the windchill.

Currently, I've setup a basic document approval workflow in Windchill where the first task is to submit the document for approval and 'set up participants' of who to approve. Is there a way require that users actually 'set up participants' into the various roles? The set up participants is on a separate tab and it's easy for users to click submit without assigning anyone to the roles. Using Windchill 11.0 M030.

Hi,   I am upgrading a Thingworx Navigate from 9.1 to 9.3. Still, I have lots of Thingworx Flow Developed, and Thingworx flow is getting deprecated. So, do all the developments need to be moved from Thingworx Flow, or does PTC still support it?   Thanks,

In Windchill the "Add to Project" is not always available for an object.   One administrator cannot see it, although all groups and profile settings are the same as two others and they get the action option.    The option also disappears randomly for other users with the correct permissions to share objects from a library to the project. A work around, Checkout the object and Undo Checkout seems to allow the Action item to reappear, but a refresh of the browser and the action is gone again.

@ShirishMorkhade_238755 Based on your reply on this topicThree questions, 1) Why checking two types to allowed?  Specifically, why the Parent and then subtype?  Would not the parent override the subtype?  Or do you need to check parent then child?   2) In your example above, does "com.ptc.ptcnet.SubTypeTest1", in this example, "* Instantiable"?  Does the parent?   3) you mention in comments, wizardStep has to be in type.action, so for security labels on documents, would it be             var wizardStep = "securityLabels..securityLabelStep";   I pulled info from the jsp/documents/create.jspf.  

Hi,   I have followed the instructions from: Article - CS353656 - How to configure Thingworx Navigate to access LandingPageAccessAppMashup with a short URL? (ptc.com)     But it's still not working: Thanks,
