Windchill

I noticed this with a classified Part where we had a large family table linked to the Parts (screws) and the Parts were all classified. I had two attributes, Material and Finish, in that family table but the values were different than those in the constraints legal value list.  As it happens when the family table was updated and checked in, it pushed in its value to the Part as expected but now shows a value that is not in the list. I am only noting here since I thought system should have enforced the restrictions and we would have caught this sooner.  Aside from any quick fixes, looks like I have to sync the attributes at the CAD level. Not a huge deal, PASSIVATE vs Passivated, tomatoes and to-maaa-toes.

Looking for the right way to call this. I have the user object passed in and want to search for change notices created by that user that are still active. Do I have the right call? I saw a message that "CREATOR" was ambiguous when compiling.  QuerySpec spec = new QuerySpec(); int changeNotice = spec.addClassList(WTChangeOrder2.class, true); SearchCondition sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class,WTChangeOrder2.CREATOR, SearchCondition.EQUAL, user.getDisplayIdentifier()); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.RESOLUTION_DATE, SearchCondition.IS_NULL); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); spec.appendAnd(); sc = new SearchCondition(WTChangeOrder2.class, WTChangeOrder2.NEED_DATE, SearchCondition.LESS_THAN, timestamp); spec.appendWhere(sc, new int[] {changeNotice}); QueryResult lateCN = PersistenceHelper.manager.find((StatementSpec)spec);  

I want to "mock up an idea" and not save changes.. When I open the part/assembly and attempt to modify it, Windchill requires you select "check out", "continue" or "read only". Each of these options seem to have issues with what I am trying to do.-If I choose read only, I cannot test the changes I want to test.-If I check out the part, I am permanently modifying the part.-If I choose continue, it lets me do whatever I want. I then test my changes and when I am done, I close files without saving. If I open the file a week later, and try to make a change.... Windchill now just lets me make the change without requiring the selection of "check out", "continue" or "read only"?? I would expect that it would discard the changes and reset the selection requirement.It seems many assemblies just get in the permanent "continue" mode. Which causes issues.For now, I check out - test my modifications - close without saving - and undo check out... not sure what issues that may cause???Does anyon

It is clear that when viewing a part with only Vendor parts linked to it that the Sourcing Status is showing "No AML". It is true that it lacks an mfg list but why not move up the Vendor status?   Seems they missed the opportunity to show more such that there is a AVL and it has sourcing status. You can use different icons but just stopping at the AML seems wrong to me. What say you? Do you see this as a bug or a gap in functionality? There is an article on this so PTC says working to spec: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS30730?&language=en&posno=1&q=No%20AML%20Vendor%20parts&source=search My Java coding fingers are getting itchy.

Does anyone know why there is no overlap between the support end dates for Windchill 13.0.1.x and 13.0.2.x?  Why would PTC plan to release something that 5 days later will no longer be supported?     It really seems like each subsequent CPS for 13.0.1.x should push the support end date a little further out.  At a minimum, there should be a decent amount of overlap (at least a year) between when 13.0.2.0 ships and when support for 13.0.1.5 ends.   None of our customers want to risk switching to Windchill 13.0.1.x with the support end date so quickly approaching.  Everyone is upgrading to 12.1 instead, which is unfortunate because going directly to 13 would have avoided a second upgrade project in the future (assuming they still go to 13 at some point.)

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.1We have a representation on an EPMDocument published with a custom AutoCAD Worker. The publishing works flawless, but since customer needs DWG in representation (beside the published PDF) we found that the PTC ThumbnailWorker prefers the DWG for thumbnailing over the (monochrome) PDF which results in coloured PDFs.Do you have any advise to get the PTC (OOTB) ThumbnailWorker to use the PDF (instead of the native DWG in representation) for creating thumbnails?

Hi,I have a drawing on windchill/creo that I am revising. The current state is at "created" and rev "09". I made my revisions to the drawing but need to change the revision level to "10" instead of "09" before I release this revision. Is there a way to do this other than deleting the revision that I created and creating a brand new revision at "10" and doing my updates all over again?  Thanks!Paarth

How to bulk load or create classification attributes for WT Part object type.

How can I get the "SOFPART" attribute value of the document type object in the promotion?SOFPART contains multiple string values I wrote a code to deal with this situation, but the attribute value is empty. Where am I making a mistake?CODE: try { wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice) primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult qr = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getBaselineItems(pn); while (qr.hasMoreElements()) { java.lang.Object obj=(java.lang.Object)qr.nextElement(); if (obj instanceof wt.doc.WTDocument) { wt.doc.WTDocument wtdoc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) obj; wt.content.ContentHolder contentHolder = wt.content.ContentHelper.service.getContents(wtdoc); wt.content.ContentItem item = wt.content.ContentHelper.getPrimary((wt.content.FormatContentHolder) contentHolder); com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter persistableAdapter = new com.ptc.core.lwc.server.PersistableAdapter(wtdoc, null, java.util.Locale.getDefault(), new com.ptc.core.meta.

When we check in a single WTPart, there is an option for "Publish to CAD" which pushes attribute values to the related EPMDocument, but if more than one WTPpart is being checked in at the same time, this option is not visible. Even if we set the preference to default this option to be selected, that only applies when the option is displayed, so only when checking in a single part at a time. While we wait for PTC to determine whether/when this will be fixed, has anyone found a way to automatically trigger Publish to CAD on every WTPart checkin?This issue is also described in SPR7513360 andhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS285995 We are running Windchill 12.1.2.x

Hello,   is there any OOTB possibility to keep attributes synced on WTPart and EPMDoc, when associated by Owner Link and the Attribute names do NOT match?   Thanks & Kind Regards

Hi @HelesicPetr, Do you have any idea, How we can allow external partner user to import BOM into Project container. Also created one profile by name Product Engineer and provided access to Product Engineering team so they can send BOM/Part/Document from Project to Product container. Below actions are enabled for External Partner user:Create New Part/BOM/Document

I have a scenario,consider I am creating the following objects using Windchill Custom API loader.EPMDocument -xyz.prt, versions A.1,B.1,C.1WTPart - abc, versions A.1,B.1,C.1I use the below static methods to initialize the objects.EPMDocument.newEPMDocument(docNumber, docName, authoringApp, docType, cadName) for epmdocumentWTPart.newWTPart(number,name) for wtpart My question:First, when A.1 instance is created, i believe the API also creates its master object in the background. What happens when i move to B.1 creation, with same API code? will it attempt re-creation of master object (or)override  existing master object during B.1 and C.1?    

Hello everyone,we introduced Windchill a few weeks ago. Now I have to create quite large assemblies, subassemblies, single parts and associated drawings from our migrated data. Some reference parts (phantoms) without linked WTParts are also components of the assembly which I want to copy. If I want to use the  "save as" function, I have two options. When I start from the top assembly and I do the collector I see all the files I needed. This includes also the phantoms. In the "As a Structure with Associated Objects" view, however, I miss the drawings. So I switch to "As a List", but the view is rather confusing because I can't expand and collapse the individual node of the sub assemblies. The second option: If I start from the WTPart,  then I have my CAD structure plus drawings visible under "As a Structure with Associated Objects", but logically the phantoms are missing here because they have no linked WTParts. I would like to have the "Structure with Asso

I would like to find the source of the Audit Trail Journal information that shows in the Windchill interface when clicking the Audit Trail Journal icon in the History section of the Timeline tab of the CAPA quality objects.. I would like to find the source either in Query Builder or the database in order to incorporate the information into another report. But I have been unable to to locate the information either in Query Builder or in the database. Does anyone know how to grab this information to include in custom reports? I am using Windchill  version 11.1 M020-CPS17. 

We are having issues with Calculated links and the flawed logic that PTC has used in how these associations are determined in some use cases.  One example that keeps coming up lately is when two drawings referenced a single CAD model,  so both drawings became "calculated" to the corresponding WTPart.The users decide to move all the technical information to one single drawing,  so they revise everything and disconnect the latest version of one drawing from the model.  The model and desired drawing are checked in and will move forward.  The second drawing should be dropped and no longer considered.   But as you can see in the attachment illustrations,  the non-latest version of the disconnected drawing will remain displayed on the WTPart as calculated.  This makes no sense.I have even gone so far as to create a new 3D model and new WTPart for the disconnected drawing.  That second drawing is linked to the new 3D model and therefore associ

Hello all, Need your help, I created one Action button which will create a new document in windchill. But once the document is created we get success feedback message in OOTB with an hyper like to the info page of newly created document. but I tried all the API which are available but unable to create that hyper link. can any one help me. How to get that hyperlink?

I want to add all parts that are applied by a variant specification to a managed variant baseline. Therefore in the matrix editor, I have to mark all parts that have been selected for the variant specification based on option filter or manually manually to be able to add them to the variant baseline by "update baseline objects". Is there really no way to add/select all parts that apply to the Variant Specification (all parts that have a check in the matrix editor) automatically?? Creating a baseline on the derived variant is much more easer but deriving a variant is a step i do not need. Using Windchill PDM Link 12.1.2.0
