I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS20Stp file not genereated,User is not able to see see Stp file when we publish manually it is showing but automatically it is not generated

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

Good day allI am new to Windchill and I have been asked to run a report on all Documents in all Contexts that would display there status, state and version as well as the normal items like Name, Created By, modified by etc.Does anyone perhaps have a report or template that they would be willing to share that I could modify slightly to fit into our org structure.I am lower than beginner when it comes to report writing in Windchill.

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

Hi PTC-Commuity,I need to use a NX PMI Options for my CreoView Adapters (pmiOption = "THIS_LEVEL_ONLY").The local NX Configuration on my Workers will be ignored, (see Article - CS406664 )In the WindchillHelpCenter I see, that the Option is not available. (NX Output Options for JT (ptc.com))Can you help me, how to implement this Option into my configuration?ThanksbrMax

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  

Hii'm trying to build an Creo utility that adds "non latest" version of epmdoc to WS.Unfortunately, this is not supported through the toolkit - as specified in Article - CS7762So, i'm thinking to add epmdoc to WS using Windchill api first and then connect to relevant WS using Creo API.did any of you tried this approach ? any other suggestions/ideas ?i'm planning to facilitate  AddToWorkspaceAction for that. Many thanks,

Hi Community, Do we need Windchill DS up and running in Replica Server?

All,Am not getting successful in removing the link between parent and child parts in a Product Structure / BOM through "Import from Spreadsheet" functionality (Product - Details - Action - Import from Spreadsheet). The validation of the excel file is getting succeeded, but on hitting Finish, the structure of the assembly is unchanged. "Delete" is the option that is used in the column Action.For adding children under a parent assembly, the functionality works all OK (Action is "Add").We are on 9.1 M060.A related case 10574758 and PTC article CS38362 details that the functionality of creating a new View version of a part through "Import from Spreadsheet" has got a bug with 9.1 M060 and had been fixed at 9.1 M070. Is there similar issue for importing Product Structure / BOM (especially for Delete/Remove link operation) at 9.1 M060?Has anybody ever got succeeded in importing / altering Product structure through this functionality?Thanks in Advance for your help,Prabhakaran V.

I am fairly new to windchill. I am trying to checkout the non-latest iteration and make a modification. Basically a user added parts to an assembly that should have been added to a family table in our library so I need to correct that. The preference is locked at the org level but not the site. I have added my username to both the site and org admin accounts. Previously when I wanted to revert the iteration I had to log in as the org admin unlock the preference and set the preference to allow. This temporarily would enable all users to have this ability. Is there a way I can avoid having to change the preference every time by giving my personal account the ability to check out the non-latest iteration? On a side note, creo does not like when I switch accounts. I had setup bat that would change the cache location based off of username but PDMlink still showed a warning about how the session is registered. Is there a better way to switch between windchill accounts in Creo?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0The issue is regarding the Work group Manager.

I'm trying to use the FTA Event Library to organize event calculation data parameters for multiple similar but independent events.  I want these events to use the same calculation data but have different descriptions.  I have my calculation data saved in the FTA Event Library but when I go to update events (after I update the failure rate data, for example) it overwrites the data AND the description of the event.  How can I just update the calculation data from a library event?

We need to extract 3D and 2D data from an old WindChill server.  Everything is up and running, we just need someone who has WindChill and developer experience to run appropriate scripts.  Let me know if you can help.Thank you.Boris

Good dayDoes anyone have an easy to understand guide with pictures on how the versioning scheme works in Windchill that I can use to explain.We are using the standard OOTB version A.1, A.2.....B.1, B.2....The users are asking the following questions.1.) How do we know that the version we see, lets say A.4 is the last correct version of a document2.) If the Document is on a B.1 does that mean it is a newer version that A.4

Good dayI am New to Windchill and I would like to try and get clarity on the following.At this stage we are only working with documents in Windchill,Plans, Processes, Procedures, System requirements and so on which are all Documents.We have various Authors  that create the Documents, however we also have Product specialists that need to review these Documents to verify the info is correct, make changes to the content and perhaps add sections.What process should I use for this in Windchill. Create New Review VS New Change Request VS New Promotion request to send a document for review and changes. 

Hello Community, I am looking for a quicker way to iterate an object to a specific iteration. For example, if the CAD document is in A.1 version, I want to iterate it to A.7. Instead of doing a check-out and check-in 6 times, is there any better way to do it? Thanks.HS
