Windchill

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.0 The document creation date needs to be displayed in the template. However, when I insert the attribute using the Windchill add-in in Word, the date shown is different from the actual creation date. For example, for a document created today, the value displayed for the creation date attribute shows an older date.

Hi,   I would like to create a report in Report Management about WTParts with configurable links. Can anyone tell me where I can find the config links in in the query Builder? Appriciate any help!   regards, Tobias

 We are currently running Windchill 12.0.2.25 and are planning a migration to Windchill+ 13.1.3, so we are looking for an approach that will work well in both environments.We have a requirement to rank Manufacturer Parts (MPNs) associated with OEM parts as follows:Rank 1 = Approved for Primary Build BOM Rank 2 = Approved for Secondary Build BOM Blank = No restriction; can be used in either buildThe challenge is that the ranking is assembly-specific, not a property of the Manufacturer Part itself.For example:Assembly-AMPN-A = Rank 1 MPN-B = Rank 2Assembly-BMPN-A = Rank 2 MPN-B = Rank 1Because of this:The rank cannot reside on the Manufacturer Part, since the same MPN may have different rankings depending on the assembly where it is used. I don't believe it belongs on the OEM-to-Manufacturer Part (AML) relationship either, since that relationship is global and would not vary by assembly context. Alternate/Substitute Parts do not appear to fit this use case because the requirement is tied

We're building a Change Management Agent — an AI that helps engineering and change-management teams see the full impact of a proposed change before they commit. We have a working prototype and we want participants to help us refine it. Who we're looking for: anyone who regularly runs change impact analysis in PLM — change analysts, change managers, engineers who own the CR/CN/CO review, CCB members. What you'd be doing: a 60-minute working session with our team. You'll walk through the current prototype build, think out loud, and tell us where it earns trust, where it doesn't, and what's missing for it to actually replace pieces of your current workflow. What you get: an early look at where this is going, direct line into the roadmap, and chance to discuss opportunities and ways to improve your workflow. Interested or have a colleague that fits the profile? Please share your contact information in the link below and share the link with colleagues that match the profile. Contact Informa

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.7 变型规范的“预览”操作需要什么权限？为什么同一个系统中有的变型规范可以看到“预览”操作，有的变型规范上看不到。

user will create the part as Engineering View and go to detail page then click on “CheckOut and Edit action. Here wizard pop , user will select the plants specific selections , plant code and click checkIn now another Part (Manufacturing) part is created  Bother are showing in Version History  A.1(Engineering) A.B.1(Manufacturing) we are using the older Multi level Version schema and now we are planning to update to Single Level Version how to get my older associated given manufacturing to Engineer view?. I can use simple QuerySpec and any other Links available to get ?  Currently my windchill system is Multi Level Version schema and now planning to move to Single Level Version in WC_13.1Thanks,Vishvanatha

We are currently using PTC Windchill+ 13.0.2.12 and are working extensively with the Configurable Module functionality.During the configuration process, we noticed that it would be beneficial for users entering configuration data to have the ability to define a default design choice for a design option, representing a standard or most common configuration.By default design choice, I mean a design choice that is initially selected when the configuration is created, without requiring any prior user input. The user would still be able to modify the selection as needed.This capability could provide several benefits:Faster configuration entry for standard products. Improved data quality and consistency. Reduced verification effort, since users would only need to review and modify deviations from the standard configuration. Improved user experience by clearly indicating the preferred or recommended initial selection.For example:Design Option: ColorDesign Choices:Blue Yellow (Default) RedIn t

Is it possible to use Microsoft Co-pilot or Claude for development of customization for Windchill application?  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.4 Windchill Workflow Issue: I created a global workflow process variable and assigned the current task activity comments to it. The value is displayed correctly in the current activity using System.out.println(). However, when I access the same process variable in the next workflow activity, it returns null instead of the expected comment.

Hello,As per PTC's recent communication regarding the transfer of the ThingWorx and Windchill Navigate products to Velotic, we understand that new licenses for these products will no longer be issued by PTC.We would appreciate it if you could provide clarification on the future operating model between PTC and Velotic, including responsibilities related to licensing, technical support, product maintenance, upgrades, and roadmap ownership for ThingWorx and Windchill Navigate

Hello there,is it possible to define a filter/advanced search (report?) to get an overview of all parts having function of alternate and/or substitute parts?Thank you in advance and have a nice day!- Gerhard - 

Hello All,Our requirement is to restrict the participant selection on the Select Participants page in promotion request so that:The Reviewer column only allows members of the Reviewer role. The Reviewer_2 column only allows members of the Reviewer_2 role. The Approver column only allows members of the Approver role.Currently, the participant list is showing all available roles in context team instead of restricting the selection to the members of the corresponding role.Windchill version 13.0

Hi Experts,How many of you actually use Windchill DTI for MS Office? Is it worth to use it or is it an underrated feature ?What are the Pros/ Cons? Is PTC actively considering it as their obligation to maintain that / enhance it?Appreciate your responses. Best regardsHari

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030 I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030 Title: SolidWorks Integration Issues: Workspace Directory Access Failure and WGM Version Mismatch Description: We are using Windchill Workgroup Manager (WGM) 11.0 M030 with Windchill 11.0 M030 on a Windows 10 client, integrating with SolidWorks 2016 SP5 x64. We are encountering two problems: When launching SolidWorks, WGM starts automatically in the background and fails with the error: "Failed to set the workspace local directory" . The log indicates that the folder C:\PTC\WFS\Workspace cannot be accessed。 “maybe it is locked by the PTC WFS Controller service. Despite the folder being locked by the service, WGM is unable to use it properly, causing the initialization to fail." Although we installed WGM 11.0 M030, the SolidWorks add-in shows its version as "PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010". Here are the errors that I faced 2026-07-30T08:2

Was wondering if someone has used a newer version of OpenDJ instead of the older PTC supplied 11.2 version. I downloaded the newer OpenDJ, but am unsure of how to set it up to mirror the 11.2 version. Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I plan to update Creo 7.0.0.0 to Creo 13.4.0.0 Will it work with my current Windchill 12.0.2.7?

is there a way to control the display of version in “Revise” or “collect” window?   

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.18 Referencing to case: CS98538 I need a similar function in NX like for Catia or Creo to use Design Context functionallity. I know, that this is not supported for NX, but i need a way to load filterd CAD Data to NX. Filter used mostly from a Spatial Query. I would be fine when there is a workaround. And maybe you can provide the info when Design Context is available for NX as well Here are the errors that I faced Does not work for NX

Hi so I'm working on this Thing that takes information from windchill, and puts it though a calculator to return times for the part. but is there anyway to use an O data connector or any feature to get a representation from windchill, there is the WRS partGetRepresentation but I do not know how to implement that into a service that can be called with a part Id or number, I currently am using getJSON to get the urls but that needs credentials in the code but is there a way to avoid having to log in each time by doing it another method that doesnt need to login.var url = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Windchill/servlet/odata/v7/ProdMgmt/Parts('" + input + "')/Representations"; var result; try { var response = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].GetJSON({ url: url, username: user, password: pass, timeout: 10 }); if (response.value && response.value.length > 0) { var rep = response.value[0]; // Check for valid 2D/3D thumbnail URLs if (rep.TwoDThumbnailURL && rep.Tw

Per the post, do you know if its possible to retrieve the thumbnail image via the Odata REST API? Thank you in advance!
