Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: Looking for a way for a PDMLink user to tell if a part exist in our SAP system if that user does not have access to SAP. Looking for a way to see an indicator that the part was previously published via ESI. Description: For average users, they may have access to PDMLink but not SAP. They would like to request that some parts be transferred to SAP which we have configured via ESI integration. The parts may or may not exist in SAP already, assumingly previously published. Is there a way for the user to tell that the publish had already occurred and they can assume that the part already exists in SAP? I am looking for if you see this, then highly likelihood that you are good. I am trying to avoid having people look things up for them to be sure. 

 

Is it possible to search for all attributes that are in the various nodes using the advanced search or the PartsLink Explorer. Currently I only see it as possible if I attach all attributes to the top node. Unfortunately, this leads to attributes being displayed on the overview pages of the various products that are not necessary for the respective products. So I would like to only hang attributes for the respective products on a node-related basis and then be able to search for all attributes using the search. Example: Attributes nominal width in node 1 Attributes material in node 2 Attributes color in node 20 My search Show me all articles regardless of the classification node Nominal width: 2.5 Material: POM Colour blue How can I do this without placing the attributes in the top node? 

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Hello, I don't know if I'm in the right category, but please let me know if I should move it. We have part with options that depend on the designation and therefore build a large number of possibilities So I have a basic drawing of a basic 3D model which updates automatically according to the designation entered in Windchill, which may or may not build these options (using Creo Pro/Program).Description: When users need to create a new drawing for a new part number, they just need to make a copy of this 3D model and drawing, and the new 3D model and drawing are updated directly by the program (the 3D model is an instance of a family table, but this doesn't change much for the problem mentioned here), so the new part number is easily created.This works very well for the initial revision, as a large number of references can be created, and the drawings are well created.But when the basic drawing changes (adding a note, dimension, option, etc.), my pr

Hi All, Is there a way to use the email notification robot in the change notice workflow to send an email to all assignees and reviewers that have been added to all tasks in the implementation plan ? Currently, we have a notification robot that sends the email to specific roles when the change notice is submitted, but if it could just be sent to the people and roles that are a part of the Change notice, that would be ideal.  Windchill version - 12.1.2.1

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.11Relations constraints for Satisfy Trace link and Allocate Trace link are not inherited by the subtypes of the Parent Type as described in documentation.The TraceLinkConstraintsHelper.getRelationshipConstraintsData method called in $WT_HOME/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/traces/traceLinks/addTracLinks.jsp uses AssociationConstraintHelper.service.getAssociationConstraints(paramTypeIdentifier).Work around is to create relationship constraint for subtypes, but that is not ideal.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.8When trying to checkout an old version of an assembly in creo parametric (version 9.0.0.0) the conflictmanager displays an error message saying that the assembly can not be checked-out as it is not the newest version.When going through the windchillsettings we could not find an option that would allow for previous iterations to be checked-out/in.The suggested solution in the article CS100514 does not work, as under "settings -> create and edit" no option "Allow checkout of non-latest iterations" exists.The only available setting under create and edit is "object checked out warning" which can be set to yes or no.How can checking-out/in of older iterations be enabled?Thank you in advance!

Hello All, This was a previous post I had about the same topic. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/How-to-prevent-any-modifications-to-CAD-objects-in-Workspace/m-p/927120#M77779 Here is some additional screenshots of what happens.  These 2 parts are components in an assembly, when I saved this Assembly I get this Conflict, these parts are locked.  The only option allowed is Continue, which then unlocks the file and has a "modified locally" tag.  This should not be allowed to happen to a locked file, whether it's state is "Released" or "In-Work".  How can this be prevented?  

Version: Windchill 11.1 Use Case: Is ti possibile to delete a drawing associated to an assy model with different code, without deleting assy model too?Description: I have created a drawing with new code to represent an old and already released assy model with a different code.Now I need to delete thi drawing that I have checked in but still in creation. Local admins told me that deleting is impossible because drawing has been checked in with the assy model association.I don't understand why this should be a problem considering assy model was realased before drawing creation and not depending from it. In my opinion deleting of this drawing shoudn't affect anythingelse in Windchill. Why is this operation forbidden? 

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Trying to get the correct CAD Structure in Windchill for the previous Released iterations of the CAD documents and want to use these CAD documents in other projects.Description: Hello All,We are using CREO 9.0 and Windchill 12.1, we do not use WT part in Windchill and just work with CAD documents.The issue is if I open a previous Released iteration of a CAD Assembly, the structure is not showing the previous iterations of the downstream sub-assemblies, rather it shows the latest version of all downstream items. For example see the image below, In the structure, the top level asm is last Released  0.28 version but all other underlying items are latest Revised version A. Also if I open it in CREO it shows some red flags for missing references due to updates after revision.Does anyone know how to get the same iteration of all downstream items when it was last Released together with top level along with the references? Is there any pref
