I have a situation where a particular field on our Change Request has different choices depending on which project they are part of.  Using Global Enumerations, I can set up the cascading dependencies to show the correct choices.  But... having to choose the project first on creation is something I'd like to avoid.  Each of our projects have their own contexts... if you create a CR in PRJ1-Library, I want the project field choice preset and the dependent field's valid choices already filtered. I can use the OIR to set the project field but it only happens after the create form is submitted.  Can this be preset so the create form already has the correct project? (I am trying to avoid writing custom code and handlers... please let me know if this a forlorn hope...)

When an existing item is added again using “Insert Existing” option, a warning message is shown.But when an item is replaced with an existing item using “Replace with Existing” option, no warning message is shown, and the item got duplicated Are you working on it to solve in the future version? thank you,Claude

I am moving vaults to a new NetApp volume and making long overdue changes to automatically create folders for that vault. I have 3 vaults that I will reduce to 2 so wt.fv.forceContentToVault is set to false properly (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS68929?source=search. I also have the following set: wt.fv.useFvFileThreshold=falsewt.fv.useVaultsForAllContent=true I know in the past we hit some NetApp or OS limit on the number of files in a single folder but I think that limit might not exist (except for max number of files on entire volume). The vault folders currently have anywhere from 100K, 300K to 1M files in them and I have had no issues (xfs or ext4 I think). So the question is, does setting a limit even matter anymore?

A recent CPS included a major solr server version upgrade 8.x.x to 9.x.x, so it’s recommended to rebuild the index but this took days in dev/test and the index search capability is out until it’s finished. Are there any ways to avoid the outage, perhaps run the two in parallel until the rebuild is done then handover, set the old one to read only somehow? Any suggestions 

Hi Guys, I want to check in/ check out the Solid Works model/folder in Windchill through API using c#. Is there any source code or documentation available? Thank you

Hi, I am reviewing some fault trees developed in Windchill. The fault tree report describes the process for addressing common mode failure and determines the most appropriate to be the application of a Beta Factor. The value of the beta factor has been determined and applied for all redundancies to address the impact of common mode failure. The order 1 cut sets contain a number of common mode failures where Beta has been applied. All looks good. The only question I have is how do I confirm that a Beta factor has been applied in all scenarios where it is required? Is there away you can get an export from windchill that identifies all the Basic events that have redundancy and need a beta applied or do you have to interrogate the fault trees to identify the redundant elements that require a beta factor to be applied? I have 241 pages of fault trees so I am hoping it is not the latter. Thanks

Dear Community,can anyone comment on the compatibility of Windchill RV&S 13.2 with MS SQL Server 2022 Developer or SQL Server 2022 Express? Thank you very much!

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS N/AIn the scenario of customizing workflows in PTC PDMLink with Java coding, is it possible to make decisions in the workflow based on the contents of cells in an attached Excel sheet? Or, is it feasible to retrieve the contents of cells from an Excel sheet attached to the workflow?

I did custom check-in my 3D model as MODELS AND VIEWABLES.  but for some reason, I'm unable view the 3D in thumbnail window - refer image. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for Windchill 12 integration for electrical data? We tried schematics with WNC Bridge, but it was very buggy and didnt work well. We are looking for something that works with schematics, autocad or solidworks electrical. Schematics would be preferred, but we are open to other software.

Hello everyone,  Can you please help me?I´d like to know, if there is possibility to create new template for ECR that will allow me to choose between two or more options, when creating an ECR.   I would like to use it for a bit different process (almost identical process wise) but with different participants.  I know, there is a possibility to create new templates for ECN (tried that and worked well), however I would need separate the two processes on ECR level.  Thank you in advance for your feedback 🙂

What's New overview for Winchill 13.0.1 with Robbie Morrison and Jeff Zemsky   (view in My Videos)

Hi All I was curious to understand whether it's right to create a representation from a part(that has a owner link with a CAD Doc) that is checked-out? If yes, what is the difference between creating a representation when a part is checked-out and checked-in? And I also found a difference with Create New representation wizard, when a part is checked out and I create a representation I see the 4 step wizard(Define rep, Set EPM config, Structure Type, confirm choices) when it's not checked-out it's just 2 steps(Define rep and input source)? Can you tell me how can it be done? Thanks

When checking in to workspace, location is not updated. Any possible solution for this?see the attachment

Two attribute depend on only one attribute like if I select part type machine then only machine attribute is visible and hide another one. I want without cascading attribute

Through code inside the Workflow, I am able to get a specific user's object by querying their email address. I need to add that user to the Customer Role of the Problem Report so that they will be included in future tasks and notifications. So far, I haven't found any examples of this. How do I programmatically add a user object to the Customer role of a problem report? Here is the code I has so far which runs in an expression robot:   String requester_query = "mail=me@gmail.com"; wt.org.DirectoryContextProvider dcp = wt.org.OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.newDirectoryContextProvider((String[])null,(String[])null); java.util.Enumeration users = wt.org.OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.queryPrincipals(wt.org.WTUser.class, requester_query, dcp); while (users.hasMoreElements()) { wt.org.WTPrincipal principal=(wt.org.WTPrincipal)users.nextElement(); //principal is the user object that I need to assign to the customer role //verify the user was found displayNa

When I attach a PDF to a CAD document in PLM Windchill, I need to find out in which table of the SQL database it is stored. I want to directly add PDFs to that table using my own interface program. Can someone who knows where the PDFs attached with Attachment are stored in PLM's SQL database tell me? This way, I can retrieve that table in SQL and use it.

We want to generate the reports to analyze the Product Servicing and maintenance history report from Windchill product configurations in Windchill 13.0. Are there capabilities to generate the report with historical data of the service and maintenance logs with dates? 

Hi, I need a list of all EPM Document Part numbers from Windchill. I want the actual part numbers for EPM documents we have in the system. (Container based list of all products, containers and libraries) It could be good if I'm given an instruction for this Thanks 

I'm trying to understand if customizing the Windchill Theme is a common customization - See (Customizing the Theme (ptc.com)  Do you do more than just rebranding? - Do you customize other colors - like font color? - Do you customize font size? - Do you use custom icons for the standard icons (other than custom Type icons)? - Any other similar customizations? Can you share examples of what you've done?   Thanks, Devi Vijayakumar Windchill R&D
