Windchill

When will I open some drawings to make changes when I go to UPdate Values the same opens as default the notepad I can change to another type of application ? I've already set another application in Windows as the default yet to continue opening as Wordpad.

So we are doing the following for one particular customer: publish DXF and DWG using afterEDRloaderrename and copy to EPMDocument attachments (for collection in package delivery)create package containing DXF, DWG, pdf and ZIP only (ZIP to capture multisheet DXF & DWG)send package as email attachmentI can see that the zip package action triggers a package synchronisation wvs job, which looks like it re-publishes the epm document, presumably to synchronise any attributes which might have been changed since the package was created? As we are using the package ultimately to send the DXF, DWG and pdf content, how do we ensure that the DXF and DWG files are synchronised, at the moment I cant see them being republished during the synchronisation, in addition I dont see the afterloader being called during the synchronisation.

Hi AllIf CAD number and file name are different, WGM uses the filename and populates number with filename. Is it possible to use the number from CAD source to be populated in number field for Windchill

As per this thread:   Will this work for operated On type allocated parts ?  PTC is suggesting MPMProcessPlanHelper.service.getPartsFromOperation and getOperatedPartsFromOperation and doesnt seem to work. Please suggest.

Hi team:We have CR Description data in CR's from last year which I need to copy into the RTF longDescription field for each CR. Is there a utility for doing this? Likewise, the Proposed Solution field.thanksRick

Hi All,Trying to achieve Check in of WTPart should fail from workspace is a attribute is missing.Made the attribute required in Type & attribute however still it gets checked-in from workspace.Any reference what needs to be done.Thanks in advance 

Hi I have created a plan in my project. Some of the users have added my plan as their sub plan. Can I search my plan, where it is used as a sub plan? Thank you.Sathish Rosario

When looking at the "swagger" for servlet/odata in /Windchill/netmarkets/html/wrs/odata-to-swagger.jsp?v=4&d=ProdMgmt we can see most of the time in parameters a difinition as:{ "in" : "body", "required" : true, "schema" : { "$ref" : "#/definitions/PTC.ProdMgmt.CheckInParts.Body" } } My guess is that this means the body parameter is required and has a schema according to $ref. My question is: Where can I find "#/definitions/PTC.ProdMgmt.CheckInParts.Body" so I can see the schema?

We are developing an internal project to use the Windchill API to fill the eBOM for a given part. What we are trying to do here is to read data from another software we have to get the BOM info and send it to the part in windchill. But we cannot find an endpoint in servlet/odata to do it. 

Hello,   i just created a API class and an endpoint in Java (Using Windchill and Navigate). The endpoint is displayed in Swagger UI, executing it also returns the correct value (just a test string - no inputs for this endpoint)   Now i tried to execute it from my Navigate Thing. i added a new service in ptc windchill integration connector with AddServiceDefinition. Now the service exists and I can import it to my Thing services. But when executing i get this message: No service handler defined for service on thing windchill integration connector.   Does anyone know how to fix this?   best regards

I have an option "A" with choices "A-1", "A-2" and "A-3". The option has "Required" and "Single Choice Selection" both set to "No".The end item structure has a configurable module with module variants "VAR-A0", "VAR-A1", "VAR-A2" and "VAR-A3".I want the configurator to add only the module variant "VAR-A0" to the variant structure when none of the choices are selected. And when one or more of the choices are selected, each of the module variants corresponding to the selected choices should be added.When one or more choices are selected, the configurator works just as expected. But if I don't select any choices, the configurator adds all four module variants to the variant structure. Here are my expressions for the module variants: With this choice selection: I get this result: Is there something wrong with my expression in module variant "VAR-A0"? How should I write the expression in order to achieve what I described?

Hi All,I have requirement like we can set the state of WTPart using either set state or Promotion request.But when the WTPart is connected with Particular document for ex. test.When WTPart will be connect with Test document then only the state of the part we can set as released.I can see have to change at two places one at set state action and one in promotion request.please provide your view on this how we can implement in easy way.Thanks .@HelesicPetr @VladimirN 

Hi All,Which form Processor is getting call on set state action of WTPart?Can anyone please help with this

Adding to the not so many topics dealing the collaboration of ECAD and MCAD with Windchill. To be more specific we’re working with EPLAN and Autodesk Inventor. The latter is integrated to Windchill with WGM, EPLAN to be considered. Mechanical engineering needs the electrical component modeled. EPLAN can produce step-files, but Windchill doesn’t manage these as EPMDoc primary content.   What options and best practices are there?     How I see the basics, if there's no WGM for EPLAN, not necessarily in this order ‘manage’ ECAD content as attachments to wtDocument, e.g. step-files link these wtDoc to wtParts created which in turn are added to the wtPart structure originating from MCAD mechanical eng. downloads the step from wtDoc, adds to MCAD assembly, associates with wtPart..   Make sense? Change management will be a lot of fun.

Does anyone use large CATIA assemblies? I have been trying to use CATIA CGR Assemblies not very successfully. I have requested direct PTC help, and have been pointed to an article that says it works as it should. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS369182?source=Case%20Viewer  Does anyone use CGR's to make drawings besides me? Is there a preferred way to do this with CATIA and Windchill WGM?  I'm trying to avoid switching into Structure Mode, so I don't have to spend a ton of time loading every day. Maybe loading a saved state of the assembly?    Just looking for some suggestions from the hivemind that is the internet.     -Cheers! Brandon

As per this thread - same issue    Hey Rick, I am facing same issue, is it resolved for you now? Can you tell me how to solve it?   Regards, Shreya

Windchill Quality Solutions Risk and Reliability When assessing failure data, it's common to export the FRACAS data to spreadsheets for analysis. Since the default charts within WQS are not to be all-inclusive, the following questions was posed by our team:   1. Does PTC provide the capability to link Tableau with either WQS or Risk and Reliability for ease of data sharing and analytics? 2. If a link does exist: Is it bi-directional? 3. If a link doesn't exist: Would PTC consider adding a feature in the future?   Thank You, Tony

We want to maintain the same session across multiple requests to InfoEngine via Data Acess Object API. What we are trying to do is,  call start-Session present in a task file, get the generated Session ID and instance and pass the same in another request to another task file.  We are using InfoEngine's Java DataAccessObject API.  We are however, getting "Session doesn't exist" error. 

Hi All, Has anyone came across features / capabilities like 1Factory application and how it can be integrated / used with Windchill? Do let me know RegardsAshish
