Hello all,Has anyone used the AutoCAD work group manager integration when AutoCAD has the Advance Steel module installed?- Jim

Hello everybody, I'm trying to retrive some global enumerated value of WTDocument from the Windchill 11.0 M030 database with a SQL query.   I used the queries of https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS174022 but what i can get are just the Internal values of the attributes, not the Display values. (column NAME of [LWCEnumerationEntry])   Which table contains the DISPLAY Value of the enumerated attributes?   How these attributes values are linked to the objects (eg WTDocument) ? I can see the stringValue linked to the object, but again it contains the internal value and I need instead the display value.   Can you point me to a datamodel documentation that covers this topic?   Thank you

Anyone out there implemented WVS upgrades for Windchill? We are currently at 11.1 M020 CPS19 and we're considering a WVS upgrade from the originally certified version of 5.0 to 8.0.   Definitely should have considered this upgrade sooner, but now that we're so far behind, I'm curious if anyone has experience with what all the new features are going from 5.0 to 8.0 and are there any major changes to WVS that will impact how we are using it today? 

Does anyone know of a way to retrieve the target values a user enters into the rename GUI before any of the rename events finish?  We're running into a problem where we can't see what the new filename is until after the number change is already complete.  We need to know if the filename is going to be changing, and if so what its new value will be, before we decide whether or not to let the number change proceed.  Since separate events are being fired for name, number, and filename, it seems like it's impossible (from just these events) to tell in advace what is going to be changing.  Instead of just looking at the object passed by these listeners (EPMDocument, etc.) is there some way to get all the data that was actually submitted by the user on the rename form, before any of the rename events actually finish?   Rename dialog:   Event listener order depending on what is being changed:  

Does anyone have a process for mass modification of context Teams [Roles along with the groups/individuals assigned] and product/library access control rules (ACR's)? The modification must include deletion of existing Roles and ACR's. A simple way to view this is applying a new product template to an existing product replacing the existing Team and ACR's. I did not see a way to delete existing Roles or ACR's using LoadFromFile, but I admit it's not a tool I'm very familiar with using.   Can the Windchill Bulk Migrator export an existing product and re-import it back into the same system using a different product template?   Regards, Dan N.

Hellois there any one who has evaluated Sharepoint vs Windchill for document management for a pure capability point of view.eg. Windchill can pass parameters directly into Word, I was told by a sharepoint consultant this is not possible.Same thing with document structure.I like to call sharepoint a file manager or an enhanced hard drive. Nonetheless, I have hard time to get Sharepoint users to accept that Windchill is easier, simplier more powerful.Sometimes the argument goes to. "I do not need to buy new licences for new users for Sharepoint but I would need to for Windchill, so even if there are advantages it is not worth the cost"....Is there anyone who has close a Sharepoint site to migrate to Windchill ? What was the argument for this ?I am trying to sell Windchill has something much more than just supporting engineering. Managing documentation is an activity for all departments and functions. But sales, marketing, quality are happy with their own "developed" systems. See the pict

As per this thread - same problem   Hey bmr,    It´s seems you are still active in the forum. Could you explain me how can I "Overwrite" the create new view from with an Processor. we try to change an attribute value while creating a new view version.  The problem is that we can´t find any kind of template or layout for this "Pop-up" - Window.   thanks forward.   best regards from Vienna.   Philipp 

Hello everyone, Is there any way to save an old version or iteration of a part as a new version in Windchill without using Creo Parametric? I have a part with latest version of C.1 and I'd like to return back to version B.1 without deleting version C. I thought that I could revise the part to version D and somehow copy the B.1 version over the D.0 but I can't figure how to do that in Windchill. I found this article which describes how to do exactly that with Creo Parametric:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS189560 But I would prefer a method for doing it in Windchill. Is it even possible?

Hi Where can I find the actual attribute names of the standard attributes (PTC_BLN..../STR... fields)? Is there any table (in the Database) that contains the Standard attributes field name with the Part Type and attributes name See attached picture   Thank you, Ilan.M

Hello , I want to know steps to configure windchill 12 with microsoft active directory while installation.   Regards,  Dhananjay

Hi All,   I need to get special characters added to a classification attribute like at beginning or ending or in middle with characters like $ space +   Can you please confirm how ?

HiDo you know how can I create a query builder that shows CAD and its structure (see pictures) Thank youIlan.M

Hi,In my last question, I was asking about export data from Windchill. I choose Packages and I was faced with another problem. I want to export only prt and asm files in the latest version and iteration from the product context. What if I have thousands of files? We don't want to add all files manually one by one in Packages wizard. The best way will be to write some customization for automatically creating a package from the product folder/context and then manually delivering a zip.What customization should I write to add/collect many files to the package? It will be great if I can export them automatically to zip.Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything useful for that on ptc support. Thanks in advance

Hi,I've tried to create object notification with java method NotificationHelper.manager.createObjectSubscription for event Revise.The code below does not work.Where can I find which is name for Revise event (and also WORKFLOW_STATE_CHANGE)?eventsMap.put("REVISE", (WTStringMap)null); //--- doesn't workeventsMap.put("WORKFLOW_STATE_CHANGE", (WTStringMap)null); //--- doesn't work eventsMap.put("CHECK_OUT_IN", (WTStringMap)null); //---- It works!!eventsMap.put("DELETE", (WTStringMap)null); //---- It works!! //get subscriber, currently setting to session userNotifySubscriptionRecipient subscriber = NotifySubscriptionRecipient.newNotifySubscriptionRecipient(SessionHelper.getPrincipal(), NotifySubscriptionRecipient.TO_ADDRESS); //create subscriptionNotificationHelper.manager.createObjectSubscription(subscriptionAttributes,subscriber, targetObject, eventsMap, true);

I have a task to test use of DTI on our Windchill PDMLink instance/configuration. My first responsibility for that is to put together a user test plan. We are currently on version 11 of PDMLink but will be upgrading to 12.x, including the plugin, sometime in the next few months. Where can I find information on the changes/differences between DTI for version 11 and 12?   Is there a "user guide" for DTI? Thanks,Barry Hastings

Hi all The help page (link below) gives a three step process to use Jasper Reports.   in WCshell, export a report template use Jasper Studio to format the report in WCshell, import jasper's template There is no mention of which Jasper version Windchill works with.  Given that Jasper is featured as the new reporting facility in Windchill, one would think that the doco would mention which Jasper version is recommended. Which version was used in PTC while this all was developed? thanks Rick   https://server/Windchill-WHC/en/#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FWCCG_BusLogicCust_ReportGeneration_JasperCustomization_AuthoringRTemplate.html%23

I saw this on a KB article today (CS169483<).">https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?source=subscription&n=CS169483>). Curious if anyone knows where and how to modify the background colors like this. Thanks!Tom U.[cid:image001.png@01CF946F.38707AD0]

Hello!I maintain Windchill 11.1 in an enterprise. I need to introduse MPM Link for technologists.The license is installed, but I cannot transform EBOM to MBOM. New Downstream Branch and Downstream Part command not available.in right click menu in Manufacturing associative Part Structure Browser. Also I cannot create a new Process Plan. Help identify the cause of the my problem.Thanks.

We've had a couple users who have reported issues where they can't attach a file (pdf or doc) into a WTDoc, either in the associate new command or the replace content command.  the browse button opens and allows a file to be selected, but normally you then see a green bar load right under the file name.  it works for me, but the other people that bar just stops part-way and nothing uploads.  It works for IE and Firefox, but not for Chrome or Edge.  Must be a setting somewhere, but we've opened up pop-up blockers and cookies and everything seems matched as far as we can see.  not exactly sure what other settings might be influencing the Windchill behavior only on the Chromium engine, but I'm open to ideas.  thanks!

I tried following this Extending Product Management Domain to Add A Soft Type which seems pretty straightforward... however if I put anything there ($WC/codebase/rest/custom/domain/ProdMgmt/v5/entity/), even a completely empty .json file, the Rest Services api page will error and spit out some un-formatted HTML: 500 : <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <title>Windchill Error</title> </head> <body> <!-- General purpose Windchill error page, /wtcore/error.jsp --> <h1>Windchill Error</h1> <p style="font-size: large"> Contact your administrator for assistance.

Back in Windchill 9, there was a utility created by a community user @cadjett that added the ability to download a published plt or pdf drawing from windchill menus. I believe this was one of the original post: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Drawings-as-PDF-Quick-way-to-download-them/m-p/400510 In windchill 11, I've been able to get the utility to work thru the windchill shell, it can download both the .plt and .pdf file, as we publish to these 2 formats.What doesn't work is the ability to download thru a menu button. The two issues I've come across is the custom-actionModels.xml is from Windchill 9, so some of the menu pics are different. The Download DRW PDF or PLT menu pic does appear in the menu, see attached screenshot. When selecting the Download DRW PDF or PLT option, I get an error message as shown below. Just wondering if anyone has adopted this utility for Windchill 11, as we found it to be a very useful utility.If anyone is interested I have the f

We have a few documents that need to be in Windchill but management wants access restricted to a few people, not the whole engineering organization. Security labels are an overkill, besides a PITA to setup, for only a few documents.   If I create a new folder in the doc lib and a new group of the restricted users, can I set ACL rules for that one folder so only the restricted group can see and access the files in that folder?  I know I could do it at the Library level with a new Restricted Lib, but that involves OS folders and all of that setup, which is also overkill.   We have a Doc Lib under the Library tab with a Main sub-folder. In the Main sub-folder, we have various document type folders. I would create a new folder at this level, named Manager Restricted (or something like that) to place these few documents in. For user access, I would create a new group named Restricted and give that group access to the folder while denying access to the engineering group. The u
