Windchill

 We want to implement a controlled release process in Windchill for Creo drawings. Currently, we are unsure how to properly configure the workflow and attribute mapping to achieve this behavior.Specifically:How can we configure a Promotion Request workflow that:Requires both a Checker and an ApproverUpdates drawing attributes with their names, approval dates and signaturesHow can we link those workflow values to the drawing title block so they appear automatically after approval?How can we trigger automatic republishing upon state change to “Released” so the generated PDF contains the approval signatures?Expected Result:After both approvals, the drawing moves to ReleasedChecker and Approver names/dates populate automatically in the title blockWindchill auto-generates an updated PDF representation with the signatures visible

Hi. We are currently planning to move our Windchill Virtual server to updated Nutanix hardware. To do this, we need to change the IP address of the server itself. No other changes are being made. Can you tell me if you can foresee this IP change having any negative effect on the operation of the Windchill application? Thank you.

Hello All,      I'm having a secanrio that, the PVZ file of the specific assembly was saved in my local drive, I want to upload that PVZ file to the specific EPMDocument under Representations\annations using the utility (using java program). On top of that we will create Interference Definitiion Detection to that Representation to identify the Interference between the parts.       By using the program I could able to create the representaion i.e., Derived image, but PVZ content upload in not happening that means representation is creating without the PVZ file.Following is the program that I'm trying . PLease suggest me what I'm missing in the program.  Representation newRep = null;  String localFile = "C:\\Users\\59381047_1.pvz";  File contentFile = new File(localFile);  System.out.println(Dumobj.getName()); try{ DerivedImage newDerImage = DerivedImage.newDerivedImage("default"); //System.out.println ("#

Hello, after transfering to creo 11 from creo 7 there were problems with model tree. It was always slow if there were at least one parameter shown in the tree. We've changed creo 11.0.3 to 11.0.7 and it fixed problem in Creo but not in Creo View 11.1.What should we do now?  

Does anyone have a crafty solution to define or change the Name of the Windchill server in Windchill Workgroup Manager (WGM) without user intervention?    I am using Windchill Workgroup Manager v13 with Solidworks and would like to update the installation process with the silent installation method deployed in Windows Intune.    The Windchill Workgroup Manager supports the ability to define a default Windchill server URL, but it does not support an entry to define the Name of the default Windchill server in the wgmclient.ini file. When a default Windchill server URL is defined, the Name is automatically set to the domain of the server URL. I would much rather have a descriptive string assigned to the Name and cannot find a way to do this.    If we were using Creo Parametric, I could create a mapkey to change the name, but I am not aware of any mapkey, scripting or trail file execution in the Workgroup Manager client. 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to setup an "Advanced Search" against the "Change Notice" object type. However, I have noticed I have no option to add any "Attributes" into the "Criteria" section of my search. Please refer to the attached image.Description: I have noticed that I can select other object types which provides the opportunity to add attributes into "Criteria" section of the search. Can anybody suggest why I don't have this option for the "Change Notice" object type?

Hello Team,I need to programmatically retrieve the Sequence value of a Change Activity (WTChangeActivity2) as it appears in the Change Planning / Execution Plan. Currently, the only method that works is executing a direct SQL query on the CHANGEPLANACTIVITY table.Example SQL (working):SELECT parent.SEQUENCEFROM WTCHANGEACTIVITY2MASTER camJOIN WTCHANGEACTIVITY2 ca    ON ca.IDA3MASTERREFERENCE = cam.IDA2A2JOIN CHANGEPLANNINGLINK cpl    ON cpl.BRANCHIDA3B5 = ca.BRANCHIDITERATIONINFOJOIN CHANGEPLANACTIVITY cpa    ON cpa.IDA2A2 = cpl.IDA3A5LEFT JOIN CHANGEPLANACTIVITY parent    ON parent.IDA2A2 = cpa.IDA3PARENTREFERENCEWHERE cam.WTCHGACTIVITYNUMBER = ? However, this is not a supported API approach, and I want to avoid SQL.I also tried using:ChangePlanningHelper.modifyPlan(...)Map<VersionableChangeItem, String> changeSeqMapBut this map only accepts sequence values for updates — it does not expose or return the current seq

We have a custom dll code which was working on previous version on WGM but post updating WGM it failed to compile. Need to know how to resolve compilation issues. Do we need to rebuilt toolkit libraries or there is another way to achieve this?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case:1. I add two WTParts into Windchill - "Part 1, Revision A" and "Assembly 1, Revision A".2. I then set the state of "Part 1, Revision A" to "Released".3. I add "Part 1, Revision A" as a child into the structure of "Assembly 1, Revision A".4. I set the state of "Assembly 1, Revision A" to "Released".5. I then create a new revision of "Part 1" to create "Part 1, Revision B".6. I set "Part 1, Revision B" to "Released".7. I create a new revision of "Assembly 1" to create "Assembly 1, Revision B". (This was done as I want the new revision of "Assembly 1" to capture the fact that it now includes a new revision of "Part 1").8. When I look in the structure of "Assembly 1, Revision B" I can see that the version of "Part 1" that features in it has automatically been updated from "Part 1, Revision A" to "Part 1, Revision B".9. So, I then set the state of "Assembly 1, Revision B" to "Released".10. I then navigate to the context of "Assembly 1" and select the "H

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: How to customize the Thumbnail Navigator in order to show the buttons 'navigate Thumbnails' and 'Related Information' besides each other and not as in the ootb-way where one hides the other?Description: Since either 'Related Information' or 'Navigate Thumbnails' is constantly hidden and users (!) don't remember what they don't see, I wanted to make both buttons visible at the same time, as alternatingly pressed/unpressed buttons. Small fix, huge transparency improvement.Well, the question is now about which file to customize...?It seems to end up all in the huge ...netmarkets/javascript/util/ext-and-extensions.js , but I suspect that this is not the 'real' source which we would want to customize...I also think it's not 'officially' supported for customization, but nevertheless the layout must be defined somewhere... Has anybody a hint or an idea?Best Regards 👍

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: WGM 13.1.2.0 with Solidworks 2024SP5.0. Opening an NX assembly (version compatible for import) in Solidworks through the workspace doesn't display any bodies. The same assembly - when exported from the workspace to a local drive - opens fine. Description: One of my engineering teams started using Solidworks. I prepared a WGM 13.1.2.0 installation to work with SW2024SP5.0. Most of our CAD data is in NX. Immediately we notice that when trying to open an NX assembly, Solidworks doesn't display any bodies but does display the structure.    However, when we export the NX assembly out of Windchill and open it in Solidworks from C:\ drive, everything opens just fine.    First pass tech support with Solidworks suggests this is a PTC problem on account of the NX assembly opening fine from a local drive.    Has anyone run into this issue? The attachment shows that SW can open the individual parts from the NX assembly and tho

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: How to add Windchill Attributes present on EPMDcoumet to Drawing's Title BlockDescription: Hi All, I have a requirement to publish the Windchill Attributes which are present on EPMdocument, need to be placed inside the Title Block. I have two attributes, Attribute_A & Attribute_B on EPMdocument, need to place this two attributes on Title Block, so when drawing is published, this updated values must be present in Drawing's Title block, so same will be present in generated PDF of drawing. Any input is helpful for us. Thanks,Vivek

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Solidworks - saving assembliesDescription: In solidworks, saving an assembly prompts to save all other parts - unless they are set to read-only, and in "system options" -> "External references" it is checked that "Dont prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)". Saving the assembly and parts, prompts windchill to either "Check out", "Revise and Check out" or "Continue" on the files that are being saved. Per this old thread (Read Only object and assembly saving problems - PTC Community), locking the files in the WWGM, should set them as read-only, and force Solidworks not to try and save them.But - This does not seem to work for us! The files are correctly marked  in the solidworks add-on as locked/read-only, but the saving prompt does not show them as read-only, and still saves them. The WWGM prompts the same 3 choices, and removes the lock, and saves the modifications locally, when "Continue" is set.&n
