Hi All,    I could sucessfully configure AutoCAD worker and it publishes fine the AutoCAD drawings to pdf usingAutoCAD's Acroconsole. Currently Iam using the Plot command. Its convering the drawings  layout tab to pdf. Attached is the SCR file iam using in the setup.   Is there a mechanism to publish files with multi layout?  or is it possible to publish both the model and layout to pdf ?   Iam not much familliar with autoCAD and hence would like your inputs here. Is it not required to have both Models and layout in PDF ?   -Vaibhav

So, according to this article it's not possible to "enable" "Context" field in Set Location window for Save As action. Now, I'm trying to use action "New Configuration Context" from WTPart. Sadly, here is the same situation - it's impossible to set different context than the one where user is "currently": So while this is "working to spec", has anyone tried or even been able to found OOTB code that is responsible for this? Is it something totally hardcoded that cannot be changed or was someone able to found + modify (customize) this behaviour?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS08I am trying to Revise an object at a state where I do not want to allow modify or modify content. What are the ACLs that I need to have for this? On both the current state and the state that it needs to be at? I found an article that says that I need to have Create at the "to be" state but that didn't seem to work.Here are the errors that I faced none

Hello All,I have tried using Attribute Move Utility tool to move my IBA values (Boolean) to a Hard-Type (Phantom Part) and ended up with an exception -com.ptc.core.lwc.server.TypeAttributeMoveTool - Target attribute is a "com.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCHardAttDefinition". This tool only supports moves for LWCIBAAttDefinition or LWCFlexAttDefinition! I am Trying to figure out alternate way to make this happen. Open for suggestions- Thanks and Regards,Rohan

I have installed Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS20 on 3 servers using the same downloaded files and a document I created when doing the first install to get the steps right.  I have one VM server that refuses to complete the installation and aborts the install about 40% into the process after 2-1/2 hours of process the files. I have opened help desk calls with PTC on 2 prior fails on this same machine and they have been useless in figuring out why this one machine aborts the process. IT has looked at the VM machine and confirmed that it matches the other 5 Windchill/Oracle VM machines. When it fails, I remove everything from both the WIndchill and Oracle servers including using regedit to remove all keys that point to the installation locations and then I start over. I am at a loss as to why this one machine aborts the process. The log files say it runs out of Java memory. But why just this one when I have done 4 other installs successfully ( I did one server twice as I verified my proces

So we implemented custom Publishing actions per cs211115 and initial tests were great. Combining search results and batch publishing is awesome. 3/4 of the way down they talk about "For example, if you want to hide the new Publish Tools default visibility value for All Members and give the access permissions only to the manager, modify the followings" and go on to suggest modifications to the roleaccessprefs.xml which we had done: <uic name="list_Rep" order="4010" enabled="true" defaultAll="false" defaultManager="true" defaultGuest="false" managerEnabled="true" guestEnabled="false"/>    </global> My assumption was that admins and Product Managers would see this actions in search and folders pages. Normal members would not see the action. I have test user setup and actions still appeared. They suddenly, they were missing and then back again. I cannot make heads or tails of this. Am I missing something here? Is there a caching issue going on

Hi Everyone, does anyone ahve an idea on how to resolve this error from the MethodServer:wt.access.accessResource/19) wt.access.NotAuthorizedException: ATTENTION: Secured Action. You do not have the necessary authorization for this operation. Resolutions from Article - CS168770 have already been exhausted:The wcadmin entry was correctly exported and imported in WindchillDS.Database tables are migrated properly with the only errors relating to indexes which are fixed prior to running the update tool.Site Administrator (wcadmin) is in the Admiistrators group – both after import and after manual insertion in WIndchillDS.Cleared Tomcat and InfoEngine caches without success.

Hi All I am working on setting up life cycle states that fits the retirement and disposal process in my organisation. We have customer commitments, after we have decided to retire a product, and therefore, I am looking for states which can show that these products are going to be retired after the service/spare part period.Today the state is "just" Released until the service period is done and thereafter the part is closed down. I would like to be able to inform users in Windchill that these parts should not be included in new designs or at least you should consider the consequences if you do use it.However I cannot find any OOTB states that supports the retirement process. How are you handling the process in your organisation and which states are you using?

Hi, I already found this article https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/How-to-copy-Representation-of-CAD-Document-to-WTPart/m-p/305726 and I used a few parts of it, but I can't get it to work.So we want to copy a representation from an EPMDocument to a WTPart and this by code.    String epmdocnumber = "11107160"; String part = "11107160-B"; // OID zoeken van epmdocnumber LatestConfigSpec lcs = null; QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(EPMDocument.class); SearchCondition scNumber = new SearchCondition(EPMDocument.class, "master>number", SearchCondition.EQUAL, epmdocnumber); qs.appendWhere(scNumber, new int[]{0}); lcs = new LatestConfigSpec(); lcs.appendSearchCriteria(qs); QueryResult qr = PersistenceHelper.manager.find(qs); if (lcs != null) { qr = lcs.process(qr); } EPMDocument epmDoc = null; if (qr.size() > 0) { epmDoc = (EPMDocument)qr.nextElement(); } // OID zoeken van wtpart lcs = null; qs = new QuerySpec(WTPart.class)

Hello guys.Hopefully I am hopening pandora's box 🙂I guess there are only two schools.One who never revise and systematically create a new partnumberAnother who always try to revise (but if the change impact various product differently then they may "split" the design and create a new partnumber)I am from the second school. If after the impact analysis all the impact references can accept the change, then a new revision is created. If, for sake of argument, a part is used in 100 assemblies, and for 20 of them we cannot accept the change of the part, then we create a new part. Then depending on the effort, the new part will be used in the 20 assemblies while the other 80 will get the new revision of the original parts.I really do not understand the first school. It requires a lot more efforts. Of course when you do not have CAD (understanding 3D cad), it is relatively easy to mass BOMs, but as soon as you have to update 3D cad, this can become very complicated.In addition, you lose the

With Windchill constantly creating new folders for vaults it seems a bit difficult job for the back up team. We have the vaults mounted on Linux. Windchill version is 10.1 M040. Please list the tools / stratagy you are follow for backing up Windchill vaults. Also would appreciate suggestions on how to manage the growth of the vault size in terms of folder architecture.

Is it possible to export a bom configured to suit a simplified representation from CREO?

Whenever I try to import an FTA diagram from my Diagram Library into a system file, I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I have searched the reference guide and haven't found any mention of this particular error. I know it's also a general Windows error, so a Google search wasn't helpful, either.Does anyone know what is causing this error? I can provide more details if need be.

I find the amount of un-referenced files in our vaults gradually increasing, I took a week off and came back to find the disk almost full.I can remove them easily enough but I thought 'Automatic Cleanup' should remove them, the docs talks about creating a rule in the Automated cleanup of replica vaults window?  "For replica vaults, you can select or clear the Automatic cleanup of older content checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, automatic cleanups are performed on this vault according to the rules and schedule that are specified in the Automated cleanup of replica vaults window." Where is the window?

I'm looking for a way to get sub-parts of gathering parts rolled up on the single-level BOM.  Currently, if I run the single level BOM report on a structure that contains gathering parts, the sub-components of the gathering parts are brought up 1 level to show in the single level BOM, as expected.  However, when the structure has multiple gathering parts and those gathering parts have sub-components that are the same, such sub-components show as separate lines in the single level BOM report. Example...  The structure has two gathering parts that are hardware stack-ups of screws with washers.  Both gathering parts utilize the same part number of washer.  When the single level BOM report is run, the washers appear twice on separate lines.    I tried the single level consolidated report.  It gets closer to the result I am looking for, but doesn't allow usage information such as find numbers to be displayed. I'd also love a way to get the usage tab i

Is there a repeat region parameter to show what sheet an assembly component is on?So, basically I will have the main assembly on sheet 1 then all sub-assemblies and components of the main assembly will be on other sheets. I would like to have a table cell of the repeat region on sheet 1 to show what sheet the assembly components are on. Is this even possible?Thanks

We have a few assemblies where it is desirable to assemble native Creo files in Solidworks. Solidworks 3d interconnect supports this Windchill does not. Are there any workarounds to still manage this data using Workgroup manager?Any other possibilities such as Packages?
