Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I couldn't check in a migrated file into Windchill, as it contained a SolidWorks toolbox bolt, & it told me it lacked a unique name, which I guess it would. How do people deal with them in Windchill?Description: Hello;        We are new to Windchill, but still using SolidWorks as our main cad software. My question concerns toolbox components. I just tried to check a new file in, & it took issue with a stud that was came from the SW toolbox, saying that it was not a unique name/ item etc. Has anyone dealt with Windchill & SolidWorks toolbox components, & how is it dealt with? Thanks in advance for any input; Rob D SW 2021_Sp5

Dear fellow Windchill colleagues,Regarding sub-types of WT.part and how to change a existing part from one sub-type to another, i can find some =/-10 year old posts on how to do that using SQL or command line scripting.But whats the status on it on 2024? Is it now somehow possible via, the interface or maybe the REST-API? Some context regarding our story:We would love to use multiple sub-types, but we are currently are avoiding it like the plague, because it seems it's not easily changeable in the Windchill interface.The reason we would like to change them is to make it easier to implement them. We come from a 'CAD centric' way-of-work and currently don't have any data that would define in which sub-type a certain part should be (e.g. Mechanical/Electrical/Manufacturer). When starting with WT-Parts, we can create a WT-part for each CAD file, but then directly have to choose a CORRECT Sub-type. That information we would like to get over the next couple months or years, while we wor

Hello together,I struggle with the following topic: I created the child change request Standard Change Request (SCR) out of the parent Change Request (CR).Now I want to have an individual order of the sections on the Details tab like Affected Objects, Attachments, Associated Process Objects, etc for the SCR. And no I don't mean the attributes layout.I already found the current action model, which is used for all the change request types: changeRequestInfoPageTabSetAnd also the section in the ChangeManagement-actionModels.xmlBut when I make changes here, it will be changed for the parent Change Request and also all child objects. I would suggest the next steps for the SCR are to create1. a action model name="standardChangeRequestDetailsTab" for the order of the single elements2. a action model name="standardChangeRequestInfoPageTabSet" for the different tabs But how do I link now the new created standardChangeRequestInfoPageTabSet with the actual

Hi Team,The use case is downstream departments to get notified in ERP SAP there is a change initiated on particular parts.Any references would be of great help.

Can i have a thumbnail view in Windchill Browser? For example, i'm trying to "save as" an assembly, but all the components are showed as a list, and it is hard to remember the name of every component that i want to "save as" too, it would be great if i could see the components in thumbnails.

I have created the variable and check box is appearing as expected in the task page. there is this requirement wherethere are 2 routing options, out of which for "Completed" routing option once selected  it should not complete the task  after clicking "Complete task" button until and unless the check box is selected. but where as the "Return_to_project_owner" routing option once selected even if the check box is not selected it should be allowed to complete the task.  till now I have this code in handy , which will not allow until the check box is selected but i wanted with routing option conditionpublic static Object[] criticalitytraceabilitycheck(Object result, boolean Criticalitycheck) throws Exception {System.out.println("Enter WFT_PolEntChangeActivity.criticalitycheck --> ");if (Criticalitycheck == false){result = false;String msg = "To complete the task, Please select check box";java.lang.Exception exp = new java.lang.Exception(msg);throw exp;}else {result

Hi Guys I found this our PTC Community can we do the same thing for the library component?   Regards, AJ   PTC Community  I'm willing to share a small secret  The following solution is not really nice, but it works. Put following file to the WTSafeArea  %WT_HOME%\codebase\templates\uwgm\cadx\saveas\saveas.js   Afterwards open it, search the two methods and add following code: function updateItemsWithInitialValue(tableid, columnid, rowsToUseFunc, setterFunc, setterArgObj) { var itemsArray = getRowDataForJSTable(tableid); var l = itemsArray.length; for ( var i = 0; i < l; i++) { var item = itemsArray[i]; var FieldValue = item.getAttr('oirConstraints'); var isNamePreGenerated = false; if (FieldValue & NAME_PRE_GENERATED_ATTR) isNamePreGenerated = true; // 14219836: To avoid overwriting the name, org, number when pregenerated constraint is set. if (!(isNamePreGenerated && columnid == newNameColumn)) { if (rowsToUseFunc(ite

I have a list of WT-parts which were already classified with a node. If I want to change the node with a loader spreadsheet file, it is easy as we can simply change the classification name. But if I want to remove the classification of those WT-Parts using Loader spreadsheet file, how can I do it. Keeping classification column as empty is not working.   We can do it one by one manually as checking out, modify and checking in. But I have a lot of parts like that, I want to do it by Import from spreadsheet method.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I've updated an IBA value on Change Request, through a utility.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We are using the bom transformer to create downstream manufacturing view from design view. We want that windchill copy over all related objects from the design view to be linked to the manufacturing view. Even if possible also takes over the calculated link from the drawing to the manufacturing view. I cannot find any instruction how to set this up?Description: Create new wtpart with view Design. Relate described by and Refenced By document to the part.Relate 3D file (EPM document) with owner link and drawing with calculated link.Op part in bom transformation module. Create downstream branch for the design view and create Manufacturing view. All related objects should also be linked to the part with manufacturing view.For EPM document this will probably with a content link as the model is linked with an owner link to the design view. Regards Patrick

There ist the possibility to add End Items to the Problem and Change Requests. (This can be disabled by a preference)I do love the idea so we have a statistic about all the Problem and Change Requests of one End Item. But, where can I see the summary of that? There are some report samples around, but this information should be available directly on the End Item, or? Or at least it should be possible to start the report from the info page?Or did I miss something? Is there another way to find the summary of all the changes?
