Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Tips regarding OpenSSL UpdateDescription: HiI have set Windchill version on 12.1, even if my question is probably valid for a whole range of other Windchill versions.Last week there is released a new version of OpenSSL(3.6.1) because of 12 vulnerabilities. Since Windchill is delivered with Apache and thus OpenSSL. What is best way for updating.If PTC is releasing a fix? If not what is best way to update Apache?  

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Creating a word document from a word templateDescription: We have a word document template in our "templates" in windchill. In some fields in the footer (and sometimes the header), the text that is in the template is removed/deleted after the creation of the new document. There is both some text, followed by a docprotery.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: For example, I want to make it possible for the Purchase Team to download all files related by one component and share to external supplier effectively. The files are in different formats like PDF , Stp, PPT. etc. Currently PPT file can be found under the related objects page of grey gear, For PDF you need to find it under the content page of one drw file. Stp can be found under the related objects page of one prt file. What should I do ? It is impossible to get Purchase Team to download those files from different pages.Description: It is impossible to get Purchase Team to download those files from different pages.So a better way should be here to make all files be visible to Purchase Team and one more button developed  for them to send all files to supplier.Share me with your ideas. 

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Need to add Date on which Part and Documents was shared to a project.Description: I am trying to add "Shared on " Date for Parts and Documents on the Project table or Product Table. That is the same date which can be seen on the Collaboration tab under Project Revision table on Part or Document page. Its a Non Persistable attribute.Tried adding as attribute under availableattribute.xml and mapping it to the OOTB data utility (ProjectRevisonDataUtilities present in the itereroperobilityops.jar( in the enterpriseui.datautilityproperties.xconf but getting error in MS saying No display value for the said attribute. Seems that data Utility is not read. The other way tried is to extend the FolderTablebuilder and adding the attribute there and mapping it to the data utility but this way the extended class is not getting called.Wondering what should be the correct approach for this requirement. The column is available on a different table but not abl

Related to this idea request: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Ideas/Support-conversion-of-fractions-to-decimals-for-IBA-real-number/idi-p/1039253 I started poking in to see how this could be done. I noticed that attributes with real numbers with units have a JS validation script associated onBlur. The function is "jsca.columns.numericRenderer.validateFloatingPointWithUnit" but surprisingly, this function is defined in 5 different locations in the codebase. Not sure which one is the one called when the attribute entry is validated but it should not be too hard to narrow that down. Digging further, this function simply takes in a regular expression and ensures that the entry matches it: Pumping this into AI let's us know what its checking: The regular expression [^0-9\-\,\.E] matches any single character that is not a digit, a hyphen, a comma, a period, or the uppercase letter E. Here is a breakdown of the expression: []: This is a character class, which specifies a set o

Hi,I am checking the feasibility of configuring the below use-cases in Windchill Options module, I am running into road blocks as I am not very familiar with the configurations. Asking for assistance with the same. Thanks. Use Case 1: There is a multi-select option with choices, let's say C1 (1), C2 (2) and C3 (3). Based on the selection of choices, I want a parameter to be updated with the sum of values from the choices. For example, if C1 and C2 are selected, the parameter should have 3 as value. If nothing is selected, it should have 0 as value.  Use Case 2: There are two options, let's say Opt 1 and Opt 2. I want a parameter to be updated with the least value among Opt 1 and Opt 2. I tried using Constraint to define expression for Parameters, but I could not see through it. Hence, reaching out for your suggestions. TIA,Sha

We have security labels setup just for the download ack message, so we have not enabled agreements (not needed - We control access by other means).  I know specific PTC license is required Base + IP Protection, or the advance (which includes IP Protection), but the PTC steps (Edit) implies restricting who can edit them without explanation.   I am looking to set them so only SL_EDITORS can modified the Security Labels after creation.  Any help would be welcomed.   Thank you in advance.

I've been asked to see if Windchill was used to support this anyplace else. Machine shop want so import in an manage MasterCAM files, revision controlled. I know that we can do this easily with a WTDocument and possibly a Soft-type. There should be some relationship between the MasterCAM file and the Part or CAD file is it generated from. I do not believe that adding as attachment to the EPMDocument will work. For one, these will be generated on a different timeline than the released CAD models. I can see as an alternate type of EPMDocument however the interfacing to these would be a PITA. What have others done here?

Use case: This case is strictly related to CAD management in Windchill, involving interchange assemblies composed of template models and reusable parts. To maintain compatibility with Windchill, template models are copied and renamed to ensure unique filenames specific to each design, while standard models must remain unchanged, retaining their original names. There are houndreds of projects being launched that generates project specific interchange assemblies.  Renaming models that are part of interchange assemblies requires one of the following approaches:1. Retain the existing interchange assembly, extending it with project-specific models to maintain interchangeability.2. Create a new interchange assembly with a different name, while keeping a reference to the “reusable” one. However, this option would unfortunately require changes to the “reusable” models, which is highly unlikely as they need know to which interchange assembly.   

Version: Windchill 13.1   Use Case: I'm creating downstream branches for a Design BOM. I'd like to see them filtered for a correct alternate BOM number. Description: Hello,   I created a Design BOM, and then created downstream branches for a few nodes. However, the Structure browser doesn't behave the way I would expect -- it seems to disregard my Alternate BOM Number selection, and picks latest Manufacturing instead:     I wish I could get the same BOM, but with Design view for the bottom two parts.   I'm getting the same issue when querying it via WRS, both v3/BomTransformation/XBOMParts('...')/PTC.BomTransformation.GetManufacturingBOM and v7/ProdMgmt/Parts('...')/PTC.ProdMgmt.GetPartStructure with this nav. spec:   { "ApplicableType": "PTC.ProdMgmt.Part", "ApplyToTopLevelObject": true, "ConfigSpecs": [{ "@odata.type": "#PTC.NavCriteria.WTPartStandardConfigSpec", "WorkingIncluded": true, "View": "Manufacturing", "Variation2": { "

PTC Launches New Windchill AI Parts Rationalization Capabilities I remember seeing this at last year's conference. Very impressed at how quickly this was put together. I am even more impressed that its available with release. Not impressed at how little information has been published about it beyond a short demo video. If anyone has more information, please share in replies. I do have the slides from the last conference which go into great detail. A document explaining security and data protection would be very helpful since it would be a no go at my company if that was not addressed.    Just looking at what I know about this tool, I had two concerns which might lessen the ROI. Perhaps this would be an issue not in my company but a different manufacturer would see a greater need. If we are using shape information (geometry) to identify duplicate parts, we have already missed the cost avoidance portion. Say Bob fails in their search for an existing part, CADs up what they ne

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: In some cases, we need to add a model in an assembly just for reference or space claim reasons and we do not want the WTPart associated to that reference model to show up in the Windchill WTPart structure and therefore end up to ERP BOM.Description: What is the recommended/best practice for excluding items from WTPart structure?I thought that the preference "Part Structure Override Attribute Name" would be the way to do this, as the description for that preference says that it "Identifies a boolean soft attribute name that determines if the CAD document participates in build. This soft attribute can be on: iteration, master, member link, model item, or model item link. This soft attribute also determines whether to autoassociate the model to a part." So I created a reusable boolean attribute, added it as a global attribute to the "CAD Document Uses Link" type and inserted the internal name of that attribute to the preference. Then I crea

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: For a change status monitoring system based on SQL reports against the oracle source tables, we want to accommodate a specific department's practice of tracking in-progress efforts by saving and updating comments on open tasks.Description: As https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS153902 makes clear, WFVOTINGEVENTAUDIT stores user comments for completed workitems, but it is not populated before they're complete. However, users can enter comments on a task and save it without completing it, and there is no alternate source mentioned in this article for comments on running tasks. I have a complete change task tracking setup already built, and pulling comments on completed tasks is no problem.  I just can't figure out where the comments are if they're saved on a task with no entry in the voting event audit table.  My efforts to trace known comment strings in the source tables have come up empty, but our database has some grant i
