Windchill

I am beginner to Thingworx Platform, using version 9.1 trail foundation Hosted as http://localhost:8080/thingworx -  It's working as expected in browser. Now started working with dotnet sdk 5.8, following SteamSensor application, to communicate thingworx server, Getting error like "Error initializing socket connection. Err = 10061", though disabled certValidation and ConnectedThingClient.disableEncryption().   Kindly let me know the resolution to proceed further.

With documents in Windchill, we can add a secondary content document that is attached to the primary document and can only be access from the primary content document. Is this possible to do with a WTpart or an assembly/part file as the primary file? We would like to attach some reference documentation to a part or assembly (or WTpart) but we do not want it created as a stand alone document in Windchill that has to be managed for revision and location.

Hi   I am wondering if there is any way to change material on multiple objects in Windchill? I have several objects that have one type of material which I want to change to another type of material, all should have the same new material.   Is it possible to do that in one operation in Windchill?

Hello   We have some tricky situation here.   We have wires created in Creo and as per process it generates auto associated BOM in Windchill. For many projects, wire specifications, sizes and length are same. However, shapes vary based on product need. Therefore, we need to create multiple Creo parts according to shapes and it generates multiple Windchill parts for same wires.   Does anyone have better solution to manage this ?

Currently we publish our Creo drawings in HPGL and create a content association with the WTPart, users outside of Engineering are encouraged to work "Part Centric" and go to the WTPart primarly and find the drawing from there, however many still search directly for the .drw file, to add to that we also store drawing from suppliers as PDFs in a WTDocument. So there is a lot of confusion amongst different user groups around the business about how to find drawings. Getting drawing out to suppliers is also problematic, some departments will open the drawing in Creo View and save out as PDF with terrible quality.   To improve access for everyone I was looking at Post-publishing the pdfs into a WTDocument which is much easier to find from the WTPart through Describing documents. I have this working but the WTDoc has a different version to the Part and the Creo Drawing, which will lead to massive confusion, I cant find a solution to keep the versions aligned, honestly I dont see the poin

This issue started after ugrading from windchill 9 to 10.Here is our practice:1-We have a top level assembly which has a predefined simplified rep called EMPTY that excludes every component by default.2-We add this top level assembly with collector option "none" in to a brand new workspace.3-Now we only have one single file in our workspace which is that top level assembly file.4-We file>Open Rep this file and select the simp rep called EMPTY.5-Now we have the context of the top level assembly in Pro/e whose model tree is available.6-We don't need all sub assemblies to work with so we only expand the nested subassemblies until we reach the one we need for our design.7-Then we include that particular assembly by right mouse click >Rep>Master or geometry rep. And it shows up on the screen.Like this we bring all the environment geometry into the session. In the background the data gets downloaded into the workspace.Now here is the problem, in Windchill 9, once we expanded a subas

Hello,   I need to create a Rest service where it can be invoked by an external system. I have achieved the same using Soap Web Services but not with Rest. Please provide your inputs on how to implement the same.   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Sha

We have several suppliers we work collaboratively with via ProjectLink and for the most part things work well... except when there are duplicate names/files to work with.  Specifically, let's say a supplier uses a McMaster screw with part number 12345a123 and adds it to a project as a new file. This file is part of an assembly that I want to send back to PDM. But in my PDM I already have 12345a123 - the same file and name as what the supplier had put in.  What is the recommended method for updating the project file with the file from our PDM? Is there one? Simply trying to add the existing PDM file to the Project doesn't work (tried this first) and I'm uninterested in adding duplicates with versions of the same name (12345a123_) back into our PDM so renaming the offending file in Project is likely the last resort.    I've seen several posts on this topic but none with a recommended (or in some instances functional) solution. How do others get around this? 

My Apache web service stopped this morning, examining the windchill logs and event viewer that coincided with the stoppage I saw these error messages:   From Method Server Log: 2021-04-14 06:24:51,395 INFO [RMI TCP Accept-0] wt.system.err - Apr 14, 2021 10:24:51 AM sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$AcceptLoop executeAcceptLoop2021-04-14 06:24:51,395 INFO [RMI TCP Accept-0] wt.system.err - WARNING: RMI TCP Accept-0: accept loop for ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,localport=50388] throws2021-04-14 06:24:51,395 INFO [RMI TCP Accept-0] wt.system.err - java.io.IOException: The server sockets created using the LocalRMIServerSocketFactory only accept connections from clients running on the host where the RMI remote objects have been exported.2021-04-14 06:24:51,395 INFO [RMI TCP Accept-0] wt.system.err - at sun.management.jmxremote.LocalRMIServerSocketFactory$1.accept(LocalRMIServerSocketFactory.java:114)2021-04-14 06:24:51,395 INFO [RMI TCP Accept-0] wt.system.err - at sun.rmi.transp

I have a doubt, if I have a model of a CAD part, which contains:1 The master REP.2 A User Defined Sim.Rep.(This is because I have a Drawing with 2 Sheet, 1 Active, Linked to User.Def.Rp). and one inactive for the publication related to the master rep).When I go to assemble the part, I know that I have to know which representation is the right one. The questions are as follows: A) - There is a way to tell "Windchill" that the primary representation is the User defined, and not the Master rep. (Of the Part)? B) - In the same way there is a way to tell the CAD worker that converts the CREO file in CATIA to convert the User defined representation and not the Master rep (of the part)? I thought about creating a configurable assembly and insert only the part once in the User defined version, and insert it again in the Master version, and make the drawing starting from this assembly and in One sheet put the assembly model in a configuration (therefore with only one part), and on the othe

Dear All Looking for some advice on xconfmanager syntax I am attempting to customise the participant list table as per the link below, I have added a Sub type to the Change task The example in the support is <Property name="wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="custom.path.CustomSubChangeTask1,custom.path.CustomSubChangeTask2"/>   If the internal name for my new task is com.fortvale.DEALI assumed that to add the property the syntax should be   xconfmanager --add <Property name="wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="com.fortvale.DEAL "/> When run this command the error I get is "The syntax of the command is incorrect."   Could you please advise what the correct syntax   Searching in the wt.properties file I can not find an entry for the  property "wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection"

Hello We're considering how to optimally identify 3D models on drawings and standardize.  A variety of ways have been used over time including: - parametric fields with Windchill attributes in drawing title blocks - parametric fields with Windchill attributes in drawing view notes - parametric fields with Windchill attributes in drawing general notes   note: This also relates to having system-generated (Windchill publishing) PDFs and neutral 3D files (generally STEP) toward using technical data packages.   Interested in how others do this. Would appreciate any suggestions / lessons learned. note: This is one of many steps we are taking toward MBD/MDE. We created attached diagram as part of this exercise.

Hi there, our users required to enable the search for empty attribute fields. The Windchill documentation states that this can be done by setting the property com.ptc.windchill.search.queryBuilder.enableNullCriteria in wt.properties.xconf to true.   I am used to edit settings with the xconfmanager tool. The command xconfmanager -s com.ptc.windchill.search.queryBuilder.enableNullCriteria=true -t codebase\wt.properties.xconf -p failed with a lengthy error message (see attached file).   In the wt.properties.xconf file, a comment has been inserted at the beginning:   #-*- XCONF CONTENT START -*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*-!-*- # WARNING: # # This file has been updated by the xconfmanager tool located in, # $(wt.home)\bin but this file is not declared by PTC as being managed # via xconf. # # To ensure that your settings will be preserved the next time the # xconfmanager is run or an installer is used to install a new product or # a maintenance update to t

We are looking at a system where a As-Operated structure is set up in Windchill using Part Instances with a barcode attribute. We then want to be able to conduct an audit of the site using a barcode reader and automate update of the As-Operated structure from the barcode reader.   Has anybody setup something similar to this? I'm looking at whether it is possible and, if so, what sort of effort was involved to do it.

I have been trying to reassess our deployment process.  The process defines how we start projects and enhancements and how they move up the chain Dev -> Test -> UAT -> Prod.  Also, how do we investigate when things inevitably go wrong?Recently I have been looking into Git for our source control management for our projects.  Namely everything in wtSafeArea and wtCustom.  This works alright until you try to account for System-Specific settings such as which systems to integrate with, who are my workers, and how many method servers, etc... etc...   So I have created a long-life branch for each integrated system, Dev, Test, UAT, Prod.  This seems to be working for the most part, but might be a bit cumbersome to maintain.   That's when I thought that maybe our integrated systems would be better served as Repos.  Then have a Project repo that represents all of our actual project work.  Essentially using the system repos as backups of our

I'm looking for a super simple way to communicate superseded information to non-CAD users.  We have a (reasonably large) group of users that use Windchill just to pull PDFs and other derivative files (STEP, DXF, etc.), and when they do it is only from a simplified 'Google style' search page.  They are typically not navigating to the details page of an object and I wouldn't dream of asking them try to navigate to other tabs for usage or occurrence information.  I would like to simply add a column to the search results showing what object should be used in place of the superseded object   We don't currently use WTParts and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go down that road just to get the out-of-the-box superseded functionality.  From what I'm reading on the community (here and here), it doesn't sound like this information is very easy to display even if WT Parts are used.  Instead I'm imagining something like a global attribute that could be set on the super

PTC announced Windchill Mobile application for IPad and yesterday it appeared in AppStore.It is very welcoming app for me.But when I tries to connect to my server app tells that this server is not configured to work with mobile app.Does anybody know what additional configuration should I implement on server side? And what ports mobile app use? My server uses default 80 port for web access to windchill.PS This is on Windchill 10.0 M030.
