Windchill

Is there a way distribute publish jobs to queues based on size so that they could go to dedicated (and more capable) workers? 

Hi, How is possible have the same revision level for a wpart in 2 different views (design and MFG) for example A.1 for both in Windchill 11.1? Thanks            

Hello, I want to auto-populate a template based on the type of WTDocument the user selects, I have a template created for a specific sub type, as soon as a user selects that sub type in the new document creation window, the template should be auto selected instead of wanting the user to select it in the dropdown. Requesting you all to share some light on the same. Thanks,Sha

How to find instances from familytable via SQL?   

We've been using WTDocuments for our ECAD storage mechanism forever but have come across an escape that I would like to mistake proof. I know there are ECAD integrations but I prefer not to rearchitect the whole solution just for this issue.    The primary content is an Allegro .brd file and there are three attachments. One is a PDF of the board drawing, the other is some design related files and the final is the ODB++ supplier files to fabricate the board. The last two are loaded as zip files. The issue is that our supply chain folks often grab the wrong zip file and send to the supplier. I realize this is a people and training problem but does not totally mistake proof the problem.   I would like to keep all the content in one object since it fits with release strategy. We've tried putting comments on the files that are visible to the user. Is there a way I can add some type of block when those users try to download the wrong file? I can sure I can wrap them up in a gr

Does anyone have a best practice set of guidelines for creating a dev environment for testing and also upgrading Windchill? I have two dev environments, one is sandboxed into a private LAN that has no ingress/egress with my Prod environment. I have three servers in each windchill instance running windows server 2019 : an application PDM Link 11.1 server, An oracle 19c server also running windows, and a publisher server running creo parametric 7.0.6.0 also on Windows 2019. The problem is that the data on it is old, I basically created from a VMware clone that was renamed and given new network private assignments. Getting data into and out of this sandbox is problematic. The other dev environment is on the same LAN as my Prod environment, i use different host names and the dev server has a host file with aliases in them to redirect. The problem is I cant find a satisfactory and safe way where both PROD and DEV can be turned on and coexist on the same LAN. Does anyone else here do this wi

I am running Windchill PDM Link 11.1 CPS 20. When a user retires of leaves the company I have an account that can be disabled or removed from Windchill DS and Windchill. My question is what happens to their license allocation? Do I get those back?For example each Windchill user expends or gets one of these licenses in 11.1  PTC mechanical Design I License PTC IP Protection License PTC EBOM Mgmt LicensePTC Author LicenseWould I get these back each time I remove a user from Windchill or is there some other process.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS20Business need to have two options when creating a Creo representation in Windchill. One to include annotations in the generated Step file and another one without annotations.We would like to see if it is possible to configure this on windchill side and on the CAD worker side.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0I'm working on developing a workflow that should allow users to check-in Creo models/drawings into Windchill and also have viewables for those Creo objects created in Windchill. Currently, I have creating the Creo viewables set as an assigned activity task in the workflow. However, I was wondering if there was possibly a way to automate having those Creo viewables created in the workflow after they're checked in or reworked?

Hello!Does anyone know if it's possible to export a subtype of WTDocument as a separate loadfile(s)?The below loadfile will export the CADDocument type:<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd"><NmLoader><csvExportDefinition handler="com.ptc.core.lwc.server.TypeDefinitionExporter.beginExportDefinition"><csvtoLocation>/ptc/Windchill/temp/export/types/CAD_Document</csvtoLocation><csvtoFileName>CAD_Document.xml</csvtoFileName><csvexportDefClass>com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCTypeDefinition</csvexportDefClass><csvexportNames>com.volvo.DefaultEPMDocument</csvexportNames><csvmode>0</csvmode><csvExportAncestorTypes>true</csvExportAncestorTypes></csvExportDefinition></NmLoader>Loading that exportfile will generate 3 xml files that can be used to load in another system to make it identical.To export a subtype of WTDocument I have tried the following:<?xml version="1.

We have been challenged with vault stability issues over the last few months. (Our vault getting set to read only). We are also looking at re-architecting our storage while addressing this to help improve performance and 'future proof'. Looking for advice and experience related to this. At least some of our issues are related to running out of iNodes on our NAS.   Our Enviro: WC 11.0 (soon to be upgrading to 11.2), ~13 TB and 135 million objects in a single external vault (NetApp, 7200RPM, 2TB drives)   - Are there storage advantages to using multiple vaults? Either by using vaulting rules to separate objects into multiple vaults, or by setting a vault to read only and activating a new one once a given size is reached? (Yes, we are using folder size limits with autofolder creation at 50k items). - If more than one root folder is active, will files be written to both? If so, what determines what gets written where? Are multiple active root folders beneficial? - What configurat

Hello, I have upgraded from CREO 6.0 to CREO 8.0 and I get an error "cannot be retrieved" occasionally when opening files which were created several years ago with CREO 2.0 or so (old version back in 2015).  Frustrating thing is that it is not consistent, sometimes I can open the files without a problem.  I thought it might be other programs that I have open, but I have not been able to confirm this.   Any idea how to solve this?

Hi,I am writing a custom FormProcessor that extends OOTB ImportFormProcessor and overrides postTransactionProcess() method. This Custom FormProcessor gets called when we click on Import on Import from Spreadsheet wizard  Added below entry in custom-action.xml<objecttype resourceBundle="com.ptc.windchill.ixb.importer.importerResource" name="ixb" class="com.ptc.windchill.ixb.importer.ImportJob" ><action checkaccess="true" name="createImportJob" uicomponent="IMPORT_FROM_EXCEL" ><command method="execute" class="ext.tagheuer.part.formprocessors.customImportFormProcessor" url="/netmarkets/jsp/ixb/importer/import.jsp" windowType="popup"/></action></action></objecttype>  Basically, my initial requirement is to get all the Part details those are within the Importable Spreadsheet.Is there any API to get all the part details which are within Importable Spreadsheet?Can someone suggest? Regards,SY

Somehow, I've modified CAD assembly in my workspace and then checked it out, and now Creo Parametric keeps insisting it that it is "out-of-date". I tried to use "update" function: system asks for some objects in session to be replaced with ones from the workspace; I agree - afterwards, the annoying message is still there:   I've refreshed the workspace, tried to synchronize (says nothing to synchronize)...   So I don't understand - this is the latest version and it is checked out.  So by definition, how can it be out-of-date?   I have a feeling it would be something that will fix itself if I shutdown the computer and restart it.   But wondering if someone could shed light on this issue / offer a "hot fix" so I don't have to resort to the restart.

--iplocal --xml si projectcpdiff --project=/test/project.pj --recurse -r 1.1This command i applied and it doesn't show any differences. So what does it basically do. I don't know the purpose of this recurse command. I have the latest checkpoint 1.16.  

Hello,I am trying to investigate if there is a way to link the Solidworks Revision Table with the Windchill Revision and data. So basically, when i enter the revision information on solidworks custom properties tab, it should update the revision table in solidworks drawing automatically. the revision version itself should be linked to windchill version. This makes a lot of things automatic and saves me typing/ doing the tasks twice and its a more cleaner option. Is this possible in windchill? i know i have done this with Solidworks EPDM system but not sure how or if we can do it on windchill.  Any help much appreciated.  Thankyou,
