Windchill

Hi Guys, We can upload a Solidworks part & assembly into Windchill with the associate at WT Part. Right.However, there is a Weldment tool in Solidworks that allows us to divide multiple bodies from a single component and saved them as assemblies, which we can then upload to Windchill with automatic association without any issue. Regards,Aj

Hi experts, We are developing an add-on using some REST APIs(such as NewDownstreamBranch) to automate some UI operations of the BOM Transformer with workflow robot processing. Currently, when calling the REST API, we need to authenticate the workflow initiator, but we face the challenge of not having a way to obtain the user's password information. Is there a good way to obtain the password and pass it to the REST API? Would there be a way to obtain the password if it's an unsupported API? Alternatively, is there another authentication method that does not involve directly passing the password to REST API? If there is no viable method, we are considering requiring users to enter their password for this process.

Dear all, We are trying to install the WGM on 60 laptops using Microsoft Intune. But after install the users are unable to connect to their Solidworks 2019 executable under Application Management.  I have a feeling the problem could be rights related because if we run on a computer were the user has admin rights the WGM functions perfect and SW2019 pops up automatically at first startup.  Does anyone had the same experience and can share some info with us to resolve?  Best regards,Dennis Varkevisser

We are performing use case testing as part of our upgrade to Windchill 12.   We have a group of PC hardware and software engineers who need to perform the following activities.   We have a WTpart BOM structured like the following;BLD-PROG-123      Qty 1 ea, 232-281-2-16000 FLASH DRIVE      Qty 2 ea, 128-1393-2 FLASH DRIVE LABEL      Qty 1, ea, 218-229-2 PROGRAM KEY, RED      Qty 1, ea, 112-181-2 SNAP RING This structure represents the parts to 'use' to program the flash drives.  Under each part there are programming and other 'work instructions' that are performed in the context of the upper level assembly build.  What the shop sees in the end is; BLD-PROG-123      Qty 1 ea, 232-281-2-16000 FLASH DRIVE                      PROGRAM FLASH DRIVE WITH 123XYZ FIRMWARE      Qty 2 ea, 128-1393-2 FLASH DRIV

Team I am configuring Security Labels.  For the download confirmation popup ("You are downloading sensitive XYZZY information, please confirm'), I have been asked to make some of the words red.  Can you use Rich Text in the message, similar to description fields elsewhere? I have tried using a Spring Boot color code "${AnsiColor.RED}" but it does not work.  Perhaps a "<span>" tag with some css? Thanks

hi,how do we find wcadmin password from backend.

I've been updating some attributes with WTParts and got this error message in Event manager: Build CAD from Part failed: The associated Cad document (CAD Part  - 94805a115.prt, -.2) is authored using an unsupported authoring application. I can confirm that the model is a Creo model and shows authoring application as Creo from 2014. Is this something that fails if models were uploaded using an older version of Creo and never touched since? What version does this work after?    

if i create a new epm document, automatically the system creates a new wtpart. i have three types of wt-parts and i want to chance the type. where can i change the link?

Hello all, Im having a hard time figuring out why pdfs generated by the CAD worker on Windchill Server has a different behaviour from the drawings manually printed to pdf from Creo Parametric. From Windchill server, new representation PDF the ptc system parameters doesn't changed with their value, the parameter name remains- &PTC_WM_MODIFIED:BY - &PTC_WM_MODIFIED:ON-&PTC_WM_VERSION:D See the example: But if i do it manually in Creo Parametric, thoses parameters are filled with theirs correct values.Anyone has this issue? How to fix it? Thanks in advanced

I'm trying to create a new view and give it a name which is has more than 32 characters. But it's not letting me type more than 32 characters(including spaces). Is there a way to increase the character limit on the Name? 

Decommissioning a Replica server. Got to the spot where you delete the cache folder and get the following: "Can not remove Replica folder, it contains Cached items.". Force sync has been run, Utilities show zero files in cache, and the SQL command in article CS53215 produces no rows. The SQL command in article CS56569 looks promising (delete from masteredonreplicaitem where ida3a4 = <IDA2A2_OF_FOLDER>). How would I get the IDA2A2 value for the folder? This is Windchill PDMLink 11.1.

My files are checked in, and I need to update the revision but they file has a line through it  

It's possible to use an AWS S3 bucket as storage for Windchill vaults : Configuring Windchill File Vaults to Use Amazon S3 (ptc.com)But there are no property to change the default URL of the S3 bucket (https://[bucket_name].s3.amazonaws.com) to use a S3 compatible storage available with other cloud providers like OVHCloud or Scaleway.Additionally, it would be great to use a software like MinIO to use S3 object storage in a private cloud or on-premises environment.

I was able to find directions to fix said issue for internet explorer but not Chrome. Please advise.

I have a new application server and DB server, which will soon be the production server, replacing the current production server.  This new version of PDMLink is 12.1.2.7 Our current production server, soon to be old and retired server, is at PDMLink 12.0.2.4.  We want the transition between using these two servers somewhat seamless.  One day, the users will just log into the new server, and all the file vaults will be there. So for this new production server, I manually copied over all the file vaults from the old server.  I then go through Windchill to Site > Utilities > File Server Administration > Vault configuration.  Unsurprisingly, I don't see the file vaults set up in the vault configuration. No worries, I look to the rehost utility guide for Windchill to see how to remount the vaults I manually copied over.  I get lots of failed attempts so I eventually open a case with PTC.  They are telling me since I am on a newer versio

We've been using Windchill Projectlink since Windchill 9.0, currently on Windchill 12.1.  In previous versions of Windchill, never had any issues with Projectlink.  We've noticed the following issues in 12.1-incorrect time stamps for when an activity is completed-completion of an activity does not always trigger the following activity to start using autoexecution-in certain cases an activity completed after the daily working hours, is showing the actual time rather the end of the day timestamp. Our project plans are very straightforward, roughly just 10 activities in a linear order.   No objects shared to projects or deliverables. We currently have an open case with PTC tech support which has been open for several months, so far no resolution. Just wondering if any other Projectlink 12.1 users have seen similar issues.

Is there a way to use the "Search in table" to display items which do NOT contain a certain string?   We often have hundreds of modified parts/assemblies/drawings (all starting with the same drawingnumber), and we would like to quickly check if there are any other modified items which do NOT belong to that drawingnumber.   Any clues?

Hello, I wanted to know the feasibility to control the actions under Configurable Master Links tab based on the object state and user role using Profiles functionality, can this requirement be achieved by configuring the Profiles?. Please pour your thoughts on the same. ThanksSha

If I migrate WindchillDS to Active Directory or OpenDJ( ForgeRockDS ), can I continue to use it as is?How will the method of operation change?

Hello PTC Community,  I will start out by noting that I am fairly new to Windchill and Workgroup Manager. My issue today concerns Solidworks, Windchill and Workgroup Manager.I am working on an assembly that has only one configuration. The PTC knowledge base defines this as a generic assembly with one instance. I will explain the issue I am having after describing the steps I took: In Workgroup Manager I selected  "Add to Workspace" for configuration assembly "12345@12345.SLDASM".A new window called "Add to Workspace" popped up. Under settings "Dependencies" and "Collect Related Business Objects", I set the following conditions:"Dependent" = "Yes""Drawings" = "Yes""Family Table" = "Yes""Generics" = "Yes""CAD / Dynamic Documents" = "Yes"The above conditions correctly added the following objects that I expected:12345.SLDASM12345@12345.SLDASM12345.SLDDRWI proceeded to open object 12345@12345.SLDASM in Solidworks and make my design changes.When I was done with

Is it required to have a GPU to publish using the AUTODESK Inventor worker? For huge assemblies does it make any difference?
