Windchill

Hi Everyone, I created one WT & CAD with associates each other with different folders. I used the "send to PDM" option to share in the product but it's saved in a single folder. There also i maintain the same folders & names. Question 1: I want this automatic to be shared in the same folder as in the product when I create it in Project.Question 2: Is any problem encountered when revising, renaming, or iterating on one side? Thanks in Advance,Amir  

In Windchill modeler there is a button 'download tutorials', this button takes you to a website where I have to log-in, ok. Subsequently, I try to find the tutorials yet am unable to... Can you help me?

We are using Windchill 11.1., teams (not enterprise) edition. Once we have created a project, how can we allow another user to open, work on and/or edit the project and system files?We have tried "hacking" around this by going into file explorer and granting permissions to the .rfp (system) files, but Windchill seems to be able to revoke that and/or the permission isn't "sticky". Chris  

Having issues with downloading the server_prefs.xml file from the Visualization Configuration Administration UI.  Does anyone know where on the server this file is located...I'll just go get it manually via Windows Explorer.Thanks,Greg

HI all, I am navigating part usage link of a part and I would like to add configspec into Query-Tree webject. What is the syntax for adding NavigationCriteria  or configSpec?  

Hello, there was an error in the 2 previous iterations of the life cycle that I used for wtpart, and I want to find the wtparts that were started with the life cycle of this iteration.How can I prepare a report? Is this possible? - I m using Windchill 12

Dears, I have customized two attributes in the part subtype which have a cascading relationship, attribute A has roughly 70 values, attribute B has roughly 1000 values, attribute A is level1, attribute B is level2, attribute A is one-to-many for attribute B. I am considering if there is a performance issue if I create 70 rules in cascading? If there is a performance issue, is there any other suitable way to handle such attributes? Thanks BR,Chason 

I need to export a large sum of records including their attachments (within a specific date range) to give to a business team member. I know I can export the records to excel, but it doesnt include the attachments in the export. How do I do I also include the attachments in the export?      

I want to add an activity in one of our ECN flows that runs in parallel to the rest of the approval so that the reviews and so on continue and a part can get released but the ECN itself wouldn't be resolved until that last parallel activity is completed.  The idea is that the release of a part isn't gated by that one activity that can happen throughout the ECN flow.   Looks like paralle expressions are ok. Any pros/cons to doing this with activities? Any pitfalls? Or perhaps a different approach? 

I am trying to create a report template that includes the "Performed On" value found under the Task History section. I was able to find actionPerformedOn under Property Report when looking up wt.workflow.work.WorkItem but cannot find actionPerformedOn when on the "Select or Constrain" tab when created a Report Template.Any advise it appreciated. TIA

Is there a way to get this routing choices from an user work item. I do not see any api to get routing choices before the work item is completed. It appears that they are generated dynamically. Any ideas?I appreciate any help.thanks.

I am using Windchill PartsLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.1.10classification my naming is not visible fully and my name field contains the length only 60 character and my autonaming length is around 94 character so that's why it is not showing full naming and we can't change length of the name field. so my question is we can apply the autonaming rule to the different field like description or any other attribute instead of name field?Here are the errors that I facedautonaming not visible fully

I am currently trying to export every LifeCycle with a specific Name, from our test Server.I created the xml File and wanted to use the wt.scm.client.SCMCMD export command with the spec file.However, whenever I try to write this command specifically:windchill wt.scm.client.SCMCMD export -u "<username>" -p "<password>" -t "<target name>" -s "<Spec File>" -b "<start time>" -e "<end time>" -n "<package name>" -d "<description>" -o "<file path>"Of course filled out with my specifics, I always get invalid Object type.I think that's because with the normal command:windchill wt.scm.client.SCMCMD export -u "<username>" -p "<password>" -t "<target name>" -s "TypeDefinition" -b "<start time>" -e "<end time>" -n "<package name>" -d "<description>" -o "<file path>" The TypeDefinition is at the place of the xml path now.I don't know if that is a general problem with the command, or if it would

Hello, Is there any 'acceptable way' to customize the "new Project" wizard to make this "Identify out-of-sync shared objects" be enabled by default?  I know there is a way to do it through file "showCheckBoxes.jspf" but I'm pretty sure that modifying JSPF file is not acceptable. I can't find any other way, and seems there are no preferences for modifying this. Best regards,Mateusz Walendziuk

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS03We are doing upgrade from 11.0 to 12.1 please confirm 11.0 CPS03 M030 is compatible to clone on windows 2016 at present server is hosted on windows 2012.

I am working on a manual xfer from Solidworks PDM to Windchill 12.I have a batch of Solidworks files for COTS items that have multiple configurations.  Each "generic" file contains configuration names that would not be unique if I attempted to directly import.I do have a property for the corporate part numbers that associate to each configuration.I believe that, if I pull these COTS items in, and modify the configuration name (that seems to be driving and driven by the filename in my Workspace), that it will trip up future product imports that use those configurations. My question is, can I set a Windchill or WGM preference to use that corporate number as my filename on import?  

Got a weird error and stuck out with knowledge base. I have previously imported AML for a listed of Part numbers via Excel import from spreadsheet method. Now I want to add in a vendor for those AML lines. I assumed I would be able to just modify this sheet and reimport in. Action options from help guide is just add and delete, there is no update. This is the error message that results, it did validate however: Description: Description: Specified sourcing status for the manufacturer part conflicts with its existing value(com.ptc.windchill.suma.ixb.SuMaIxbHndRB/SUMA_AMLPREFERENCE_VALUE_CONFLICT) wt.ixb.publicforhandlers.LogHelper$IxbException: Specified sourcing status for the manufacturer part conflicts with its existing value There was no row associated with this. I think its telling me that you have an existing entry so I cannot import another one. I tried removing the status but this is required. So what is the process? I should be able to import multiple vendors to a single manuf

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.10I am using the Import/Export manager, and when I export a WTPart assembly with the option "Product Structure with CAD Documents / Dynamic Documents (built with active configuration specification)", the WTParts, BOM, CAD models, CAD model structure, and WTDocuments and the WTDoc-WTPart relationships all get exported. However, any CAD Drawings related to the CAD Models via drawing reference (and thus "calculated" relationship to WTPart) or related to Parts via content (or other "non-owner" links) do NOT get exported. It seems I have to manually add the drawings as separate line items. This is problematic for larger assemblies. Is there a way to include related drawings on a Product Structure export?

What Windchill supports the Unite Technology?I can OPEN solidworks part if I am off line with no server. I am on Windchill 10.1 M050, and Creo 3.0 M070. and only get IMPORT.Thanks for your help.

Hi Everyone, I have 100 pdf, i want to assign all this into individual user's. So i decided to go with Project Management, but i didn't know how i can assign on one shot. 1. Assign the pdf to designer.2. Once designer is done and deliver that.3. If there any rework how that same designer can work / if any emergency i can swap into new designer. Thanks in AdvanceAmir 

So I've been pulling data from various sources to populate my AML/AVL. I processed 150 MSAccess databases from DLA (https://landandmaritimeapps.dla.mil/programs/QmlQpl/ ) which was so questionable data, inconsistent and difficult to work with. IHS BOM Explorer seems to have better data and considering the Windchill extension for this. Now I want to check my results which all resides in the AXLEntry table.  Interesting, this object is not listed in QueryBuilder? Its actually 3 object (OEM, Manufacturer and Vendor Part) Even though it looks like you can access the complete details of the AXLEntry table, it throws an error message: "PropertyDescriptor not found for 'AXLEntry'" which appears to be a dead end (I think). I worked around this by adding in the other two sudo objects and joining them by the common ID. Now, what's missing is the sourcing status values? What gives? See error above as this attribute is not part of Manufacturer Part Master AXLEntry or Vendor.  &nbs

Hi All,Could we make comments field mandatory in a workflow task depending on routing option chosen.For example:A task has Approve and Rework option. If user chooses Rework option comments should become mandatory. If chooses Approve its not mandatory.Any inputs how we can achieve this.Thanks in advance. Regards,DK.

Hello, just like in the title I am trying to install test server on VM and I am not able to launch PSI wizard for Windchill 13.0 and 12.1. When I run setup.vbs there is progress bar with some configuring info and then window is closed.  I have java:  java version "17.0.8" 2023-07-18 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211, mixed mode, sharing)   and java in environments: Thanks in advance. 

Windchill Risk and Reliability 11.1Description of the problem:-Large system, consisting of multiple subsystems.-Reliability data from multiple sources. (service data, surrogate data, test data)-Rich mix of part types (electronic, mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic, custom fabricated metal parts, etc)-BOMs will be imported from excel-System definitions and reliability data attached to parts within Windchill will be exported back out to either excel or delimited tables (csv, tab delimited, etc)-BOMs for subsystems are still undergoing change It's tempting to build one big project and create a system tree, using the power of Windchill to tie it all together; but, does it make sense to firewall the overall effort into sub-projects for ease of handling design changes and compartmentalizing the final export? Would this be a good use of the "Common Library Project" concept within Windchill? 

I wanted to know, if there is a way to export Container Templates with code, or a windchill shell command.I couldn't find anything in the knowledge base, that's why I wanted to ask in a post.
