Hello, I am populating some attributes from CAD to WTPart using Parameters. I want those attributes to be populated to associated WTDocuments as well. Looking for the best solution to achieve the same, please pour your ideas. Thanks,HS

Can I create a document using the program from the object in the attachment table?

I want a file to be created in the product when the user starts the workflow process. I prepared a code for this, but I could not proceed further because I received an error in the expression. How can I perform such an operation in the workflow? What are the errors in my code?  CODE: try { wt.org.WTPrincipal wtPrincipal = wt.session.SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal(); wt.org.WTPrincipalReference principalReference = wt.org.WTPrincipalReference.newWTPrincipalReference(wtPrincipal); // Assuming productId is defined somewhere in your code wt.folder.Folder productFolder = wt.folder.Folder.newFolder(); productFolder = wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct(productId); wt.folder.Folder newFolder = wt.folder.Folder.create(); newFolder.setName(name); newFolder.setDescription(folderDescription); wt.folder.FolderHelper.service.addToFolder(productFolder, newFolder); wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(newFolder); System.out.println("Folder created successfully under

I am in the file stage of my vault move and clean up. There are 0 files in the remaining folders but a Query Builder report show 50 files remaining. When I executed a vault WContent verification check and everything comes back clear. No missing files. huh? I created a new report to check the FVItems against ApplicationData and it shows that there is no ApplicationData tied to these FVItems at all. Bad data? I would thing so. All show 0 bytes in the DB too. Now this article says that the CommonScheduleQueue should clear those no worries. Except that I waited a day and nothing. These also have existed for many weeks and odd that the timestamps show recent.  I think my only recourse is to remove the offending lines records right? Is there any other thing that can be tied to these?

I can successfully create new WTParts in Windchill PDMLink using "Import from Spreadsheet" where I set the initial revision and state of those objects.  However, when I go to modify parts using the import functionality, the revision changes according to my spreadsheet, but the state does not.  I am using Windchill 12.0, so the ability to change the state on import is available.  My columns are in the order specified in the help documentation (though even that says that it is not necessary).   The behavior is this:  - Parts that are changing revision revert the state back to the initial state of the lifecycle, regardless of which state I specify in the spreadsheet. Spreadsheet Import Action: Modify part from Rev A Prototype to Rev B ProductionResult:A.2 PROTOTYPE -> B.1 IN WORK (even though I set the state in the spreadsheet to PRODUCTION) - Parts that are not changing revision will iterate, but keep the state that they currently are

I am using Windchill ProjectLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.13We are getting the error message "Finish cannot be before start" while creating new activity in the Plan. The most probable cause of this we think is the Actual Start Date of the Parent Activity of the new activity we are trying to create but we wanted your help to understand what the actual cause of the error is and also for a particular activity when is the Actual Start Date attribute is populated.Here are the errors that I facedFinish cannot be before start

A Part Attribute "XXX" which I created is of data type : URL/Hyperlink. I added it to the layout "Part Structure Attributes". However, this attribute is not showing up in the Attributes Tab under Structure Tab of a part.  I want this attribute to show up under the Attribute Tab inside the Structure tab of a part. Other attributes with different data types are showing up in this Attributes tab. The problem is with only this attribute whose data type is a URL/Hyperlink. Please give insights on how to resolve this. Thanks in advance.   

Hi All,I tried creating a custom picker using data utility. It is coming on UI but custom picker callback is not working.I am getting following error:"It seems that you have not defined the callback function or the there is some error in it: testCallBack exception: ReferenceError: testCallBack is not defined" Picker Callback:  function testCallBack(objects, pickerID ) { alert("in testCallBack"); var updateHiddenField = document.getElementById(pickerID); var updateDisplayField = document.getElementById(pickerID + "$label$"); var myJSONObjects = objects.pickedObject; for(var i=0; i< myJSONObjects.length;i++) { var oid = myJSONObjects[i].oid; //Here “name” is the displayAttribute requested var displayAttr = eval("myJSONObjects[i].name"); updateHiddenField.value=oid; updateDisplayField.value=displayAttr; } }

Hello together, I have created publishing rules for PROE and they are working very well. The problem is that these rules are only working on a new representation. The target is to use these rules when a representation from the worker is started. In the documentation is mentioned that for republishing the initial publish_params.xml of the representation is used. Is there a way to use the current publishing rules during republishing instead? Thanks in advance! Best regards

Is there any other preferences to change to prevent any modifications to CAD files WorkGroup Manager. We are using the "Locked" files setting but that is not 100% effective. Any other suggestions? EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am using SolidWorks.

Initially posted in this topic   How can i rename a file. I did creat it, but i did check in/check out and then i noticed the name was wrong. But when i try to rename it appears "You can only rename new objects".  

Good dayI am new to Windchill and I am trying to understand the Checking out and In of documents.As I understand, once the document (lets say a word doc) is created in windchill and I want to edit and make changes in the document, I would check it out, open the document and make changes and then check it back in. The rev will then change from say A.1 to A.2However this is not working for me.If I check out the document then nothing happens. it doesn't go anywhere except show me in windchill that it is checked out. ?????If I check out and edit, it prompts me to upload a document from my local PC....????? Confused.If I check out and Download, it downloads a wcdti file to my downloads folder and still no document. When I click on it, it prompts me to open the Word document. This is fine as I need to edit it but when I close the document it prompts to check back in and closes Word. What is the best way to check out, edit the document even if it takes 3 days and then check in the amende

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.1When setting up a binding attribute for partslink classification, if I leave the namespace and node fields blank in the classification constraint, I see the classification attribute in the create new part wizard, but there are no nodes to select. When I add the namespace value to my configured namespace, the classification attribute no longer appears in the new part wizard.I see no errors in the MS logs

Hi, If I want a specific subtype of Document in Windchill not be sent to workers for publishing.  Where exactly we need to make changes in wvs.properties this is causing two problems: 1. It is keeping AutoCAD workers busy during their execution which delays the others publishing2. Failed jobs count is high in WVS job monitoring.  Please help me to find a solution for this.Thanks  BR,Prasanna

I am trying to create a package and add the required contents into it but wasn't sure whether the referenced objects such as ICNs or DMCs automatically included with the package for a selected DMC. Any inputs on this is greatly appreciated.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0We want to disable "Owner" association to a specific type of CAD document. We have some special types of CAD documents such as Pseudo, Reference parts. Currently, they are defined as such by boolean attributes "isPseudo" and "isReference". We need to disable to "Owner" link association type to Pseudo parts and disable "Owner", "Contributing Image" and "Image" association to Reference parts.We have seen the preferences1. Disallow Structure CAD Document Sub-types2. Disallow Structure CAD Document Types3. Disallow Structure Model Item Sub-types and4. Disallow Structure Model Item TypesWe did not understand the difference between Model Item types and CAD Document types. Could you help us with that?Note : If we are able to use item types/sub types to difference between our Pseudo and Reference parts, our plan is to use them to disable the association types using these preferences.

Hi Everyone, Currently, I have two types of questions, one for CAD drawings and the other for instance drawings P1: whenever I create a CAD file, it is linked to WT Parts and if we have a drawing, it is also linked to WT Parts. But we are unable to see the drawing in WT because the .prt file is the owner. The manufacturing team does not have access to CAD, which means they cannot view drawings. I need to create a new WT part with the same number and add a type that is the same for both CAD and drawing. P2: Instance, I want a drawing, it's possible. Regards.Aj
