Windchill

Has anyone ever been able to print out the web page of a change notice?  I don't want a to create a report.  I have some users that wants to print out one of our custom tabs.  It has some tables from all the other out of the box tabs on one page and we want to print that out.   I even asked one of our IT people if they have a program that will print out the whole web page and he said he did not have one or even knew of one.

Hi all,   Is it possible to have the thumbnails show only part of the model space (not at zoom extents?) We use these thumbnails a lot and it would be amazing if we could figure out how to have better thumbnails.     

Hi all,   i am desperately trying to get the items contained in a promotion request via REST api. What I have as input is the ID of the promotion request, for example OR:wt.maturity.PromotionNotice:124606188 It seems one should use /Windchill/servlet/odata/NavCriteria/NavigationCriterias , but I am struggling about how to get this with EPMDocPromotionNoticeConfigSpec and WTPartPromotionNoticeConfigSpec and wondering how to get documents / all items contained in a promotion request...   Are there any examples / hints about how to construct the url to get closer to the items comprised in a promotion request?   Best Regards  

Hello all, I am running Creo 5.0.4.0 with Windchill 11.1 on a Windows 10.1 machine. The computer is brand new, 2 weeks old. If this is not the correct subforum for this type of issue, please inform me.   I have an issue where the embedded Windchill browser in Creo shows two panes at once, and the result is that none of the functions of Windchill (and by extension, Creo) are unusable (see the attached image). I am unable to open any files through Windchill. Moving the cursor across the Creo window causes the panes to flicker.   So far, I have: * changed my Creo browser from ie11 to chromium, and back * restarted my computer * cleared Creo cache folders * launched Creo without any config files in my working directory (config.pro, activedrawing.dtl, etc.) * uninstalled Creo 5 and deleted cache items, then completed a fresh install of Creo   My previous computer was running Creo 5.0.4.0 on Windows 7. I did not have this issue until I upgraded to this machine. I have submitte

Hello,  I am trying to figure out how to incorporate a FTA into a safety analysis I am making in a separated .doc file. I do not want to make it using screenshots or similar because I need the text within the tree to be searcheable once the analysis is saved in pdf. format. What I have done so far is to print the tree to file .doc. The printing is ok but I am not able to copy the figures into other .doc file, they are pasted as an unreable mix of boxes and lines. See attachments.   Any idea? I would appreciate a lot some help.  Thanks!!  

Does anyone have any insight or ideas on having a Windchill  Part BOM Markup for Revisions?  I am aware of doing a compare Part structure but this is only after the work is complete.  Ideally this could be available on the change task.  Any ideas that could be done for this with Windchill Rest Services potentially?  Looking for anyone's current processes that are server/ data driven, not a excel file as that is what we are trying to get away from. Currently we are using Windchill 11. M020

For viewing ODATA Swagger UI in 11.0 M030 CPS18 you can use the Customiztion Odata Rest API link which navigates to URL https://<server>/Windchill/netmarkets/html/wrs/doc.html However the link below shows:     Any suggestions on what is missing in the configuration to correctly open it?

Hallo,   does Thingworx 9.1 and Navigate supports Windchill Version: 11.1 M020-CPS04?   BR Vladimir

OK, Can someone please point me in the direction, or steps, or wherever i need to go, in order to get the display in Windchill, (commonspace, and workspace) to display a model parameter in the columns.    currently it shows number, name, version, state, file name. "Name" is the ptc_common_nameI know how to create custom columns, and change the columns, and organize all of that.  I however, want to replace the "Name" columm, with a "description" column.  The description is located in the model parameters under "DESCRIPTION"     The reason i dont want to use NAME (ptc_common_name) is because our BOM reports are pulling descriptions from the model parameters, and if that particular parameter isnt filled in, it shows blank in the BOM report.   (maybe there is a way to have the bom report pull ptc_common_name and it would be easier)

From my testing, there are some preferences here at play, namely "Publish only Incremental Changes for a Modified Assembly when Publishing a BOM". I had this set to "No" and the result was that the BOMHeader was always listed as "AddedBOMs" section and components where in the "AddedBOMComponents" section. Fine, at least I get the whole thing.   But when I iterate a BOM I already published previously on the previous version, the next version still shows as "AddedBOMs". Even when I check out and in, iterating the Part, same result. I thought it would shift to "ChangedBOMs" section.   I flipped "Publish only Incremental Changes for a Modified Assembly when Publishing a BOM" to "Yes" and it now shows the BOMHeader as "UnchangedBOMs" and I see the components in their respective sections for "ChangedBOMComponents" and "UnchangedBOMComponents" which I would expect. It gets me thinking, when would a BOMHeader ever change in this situation?  I would have thought if anything

Hi all.   I am using the AssemblyAdd to create a CSV file to load BOM. It is working great, but I need to define both Parent and Child View to be able to have either a Design -> MFG or MFG -> Design parent-child relationship. The way this is mapped I can only define the assemblyPartView, which will always try to match the Child View name.   Is it possible?     AssemblyAdd~create~wt.part.LoadPart.addPartToAssembly~assemblyPartNumber~constituentPartNumber~constituentPartQty~constituentPartUnit~componentId~inclusionOption~quantityOption~reference~assemblyPartVersion~assemblyPartIteration~assemblyPartView~assemblyPartVariation1~assemblyPartVariation2~organizationName~organizationID~lineNumber

I need a way to use the multi-level BOM report functionality, but have it also retrieve the associated EPM docs (Number, Name, State, and Rev).  Ideally, this would be in a new row similar to if you show CAD docs on the structure tab and export from that screen.  I am trying to do this without customization, so I have accepted that I probably need to bring this data in as columns and post-process in excel to turn them into rows.   I tried simply using 4 alias attributes (#, name, state, rev).  This pulls in the data perfectly, but it sorts each column alpha-numerically, so there is no way to tell which name, state, and rev belong to which number. (Doesn't work)     EG~ buildTarget@wt.epm.build.EPMBuildRule~buildSource^wt.epm.EPMDocument~number   I tried using a calculated attribute at the EPM doc level that concatenates the 4 attributes, and then using an alias to pull the calculated attribute into the BOM...  This doesn't work, as I think a

Hi All,   I have written a checkin listener that should set a particular revision number (the iteration is not important) given a certain parameter passed by Creo (it is only done under special and particular circumstances). It only happens with parts and assemblies that are not already present in Windchill. This is the code I am using,   QueryResult qr = VersionControlHelper.service.allVersionsOf((Versioned) epmDocument); long branchIdentifier = VersionControlHelper.getBranchIdentifier(epmDocument); String revisionRetrieved = "D"; while (qr.hasMoreElements()) { Iterated iterated = (Versioned) qr.nextElement(); if (iterated.getBranchIdentifier() == branchIdentifier) { MultilevelSeries mls = MultilevelSeries.newMultilevelSeries(epmDocumentMaster.getSeries()); mls.setValueWithoutValidating(revisionRetrieved.trim()); VersionIdentifier vid = VersionIdentifier.newVersionIdentifier(mls); //System.out.println("Inside vid: " + vid.getValue()); VersionControlHelper.setVersion

Need a way to move designs from one WIndchill to another keeping correct version number and lifecycle state of CREO Designs.     Saving to OS out of partners Windchill and loading manually into your own resets lifecycle, state, and revision on checkin.   Any drawings that use version and state on drawing would then be outta whack.   WOuldn't you think someone recieving parts from a partner/vendor would like to keep those attributes at correct values.   Using "WIndchill Packages" would seem to be the approach BUT to move CREO designs from a 11.1 instance to an 11.2 instance fails on loading Received Package because of Windchill Version difference. Where in any documentation does it show that that configuration will not allow transfer.  I don't see a reasonable use case which would put a company and all its collaboration partners (vendors) maintain the same revision of WIndchill.   Trying to move designs from one WIndchill to another keeping correct ver

I'm trying to find what table is used for the EPMDocument Uses tab.  I could not find anything in the reporting resource.  I am trying to get a single level BOM report of all latest EPMDocument assemblies to export and compare to another system.  Does anyone know what this table is?

We are storing our SOLIDWORKS drawing template file in Windchill Library  However, when the template had been moved to the Library the sort order got messed up.    The templates is sorted properly if the templates is exported to a local folder   Any reason why the sorting changed when the templates is moved to Windchill Library?   

hi, I've just switched from 15+ years deploying/developing Teamcenter deployments and have now switched to a company that is a PTC customer.   What would you recommend reading/looking through to get started? i'm currently going through the install and sizing guidelines so that i can understand the architecture.   thanks in advance.

Currently only few object types are enabled (to be displayed/filtered) in the PSB.    It would be good to enhance this feature to display other types (i.e., configurable links, different types of parts, docs etc..)    

Has anyone done or heard of a way where WindChill can generate a Creo view mcad compare annotation automatically and attach it to a cad document or WTPart? We are trying to streamline our processes for change documentation.   Thanks!

We have automated numbering for our models. For our drawings, we use this convention: drawing number = model number + "-DRW". The downside of this is that the engineer has to manually number the drawing. Sometimes they number it incorrectly, and sometimes, duplicate drawings are created. I have the fun job of finding those issues and cleaning them up. Is there a way to get drawings to auto-number based on the model? One additional caveat: sometimes our engineers like to include multiple models in a drawing.    I was thinking of trying to create a workflow that ran on check-in to handle this, and assign a task to the user if the primary model number couldn't be determined. I'm hesitant because then I'd have to have that workflow run on every CAD file checked into the system.    Any other ideas of how to accomplish it?  

Hey there,   I want to create a report to check which objects are expiring in the next 50 days. I have an attribute for each of my object/WT-Part which contains the expiring-date and also a short discription. Because of that the attribute is from datatype.string:   Attribute Value Dattype Expiringstate Expiring 31.12.2021 | Not available anymore String   Not all WT-Parts have a value for the expiringstate, just those with an expiring-date. Now i want to trim the string (just in the reports) that i only have the date.   Attribute Value Datatype Expiringstate Expiring 31.12.2021 | Not available anymore String   After that i want to convert that string into dataype.datetime:   Attribute Value Datatype Expiringstate 31.12.2021 Datetime   With that date i want to check which WT-Parts have an expiring-date < 50 days to the current-date.   Is it possible to solve that directly in windchill reports? If yes, how can i
