Windchill

Hi there, using Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS16 and Solidworks 2019 SP4, I would like to map mass properties from CAD to Windchill. Following the documentation found here: https://www.ptc.com/de/support/article/cs258281   I created a global attribute as a real number with units:     added, the attribute to EPM CAD Document and mapped the attribute to MSP:Mass:     However, mass properties are not shown on the CAD Documents details page:     What am I doing wrong?   Thank you in advance for any hints how to debug this further.   Best regards Chris

We currently run Windchill on Oracle and have been to look into converting over to SQL.  I was wondering what people have experienced with moving over to MS SQL and how is the performance?  Are there any risks running SQL over Oracle? 

Hello, Previously different type of models were used, now design has been changed creating family table and pro program, this is completely new older models weren't touched, this was done from scratch. Now older version which is present on windchill is not letting me replace the newer version saying name conflict. I don't want to delete older version since it is also needed for reference, i want to add these models under continued revision status for track-ability, new name cannot be set since the name is unique for a particular part, and deleting older version is also not an option. Please help me with this, requesting a fast response, thank you 🙂

After successful installation of Navigate we need to configure it with Windchill with Fixed,SSO or windchill authentication. My question is why exactly do we need to do this? Because as I understand while making custom apps we can use integration connectors where we can define the windchill link to retrieve data. Is it to make the pre installed apps work and if so how will the apps retrieve data if the Navigate was configured with multiple windchill?

Hello,I am trying to use the PTC Plugin with Jenkins. I am trying to do a checkin. I was able to do a checkin using the Freestyle project...but when I try it in a pipline ...I get a API exception ... <Filename>: Invalid remote fileI will provide my pipeline callsici configPath: '#/NYAB_SE#TOOLS/Jenkins/jobs/CCBII-P/Junk/project.pj', includes: '**/*.txt', itemID: ':none', password: '{AQAAABAAAAAgKzhzVNF4TCb/UOzWS6XMXb9Czlqxk8mpp0UOMTQBFUI6xYcv83bY1+7hIbfxg+RL}', serverConfig: 'fa969335-8e6f-4836-92e8-009378b122a2', userName:'XXXX'Somewhere I read that it does not support remote slaves...but it worked using the freestyle so I'm not sure how to make it work for the pipeline...can you help?

I have an IBA attribute where we use a "legal value list". This list must be changed once and a while. It would be great this list by code. Is it possible to change or edit the list by api and java?   Thanks in advance

Hello all We would like to have a team of designers for new products and another one for modifications of those products once they are mature. Change Management responsibilities would also be different. I see 2 possibilities: One context, everybody has access to everything Pro: easy to configure Con: everybody has access to areas they should not Con: Change Management tasks sent to everybody and they have to decide if they have to act or not Two contexts. Move mature objects from one context to the other Pro: correct permission to modify Pro: correct Change Management roles Con: manual work to move thing from one context to the other What do you think?

Using Windchill 10.0 and Creo Elements/wf5.Would like to keep revision history in drawings which would include letter/number followed by a brief description of change. Current models have a parameter for REV and REV_DESCRIPTION. Looking for what others are doing and what is consensus on best practice/prodedure for having rev table in drawing automatically update with new rev and description and also keep previous rev and descriptions?Thanks.

Hi, I need assistance on how to create Assembly Lines in Plant. I think I need this so that I can do Work Center Localisation on Process Plan Browser. I've found this information but it is not clear how I can Create an Assembly Line?  https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r11.2.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/EXPMPM_Operation_Localization_AMRB.html   https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/whc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/ExpMPM_WCAllocationTab.html  

Hi, I created custom entity, with custom attribute: Now I can retrieve the attribute by $select.   The issue is, I cannot get selected attribute from object 'Revisions', e.g.:   "/CADDocumentMgmt/LWECADDocuments?$expand=Revisions($select=DESCRIPTIONLONG)"   How can I change the inherited navigation property type? I tried to add "versioned" in "inherits" but without any results.  

Hi, How to display navigation menu according to role?   We need depending on the role of the member, it is to limit the displayed navigator.As an example, the product manager can see all (blue squares) navigators.Roles except the product manager can see only to the navigator in the red square.   Please help us what chapters to look at when developing, and what files to edit in the codebase.   Thanks, Warm Regards, SeonHo Cha,

Does anyone know if it is possible to include vaulting rules in a library or product template?  Right now we apply vaulting rules via loadfile when a container is created but we are increasing automation efforts.

We've been trying to manage our Creo Start/Setup Files (Creo Templates, Formats, Materials, Notes, Symbols, etc.) in Windchill...   Benefits to using Windchill: Windchill provides lower latency versus using network drives when trying to access Creo start/setup files from multiple countries (with Windchill replication servers). Windchill provides a history of the files with check in comments. Headaches to using Windchill (over a network drive) If users don't name the Windchill server exactly (case sensitive) as setup in the config.pro, none of the setup files are available. Example: start_model_dir wtpub://PDMLink... Is there a way around this? We've create a Creo mapkey to add the Windchill server but users don't always use that. Adding/Editing files must be done through a Creo Workspace>Import and creates a Windchill Type = 'Other' CAD Document. Creo must have the allow_import_file_extension txt,tbl,mat,mtl,sym set to allow importing the various Creo setup files. Sinc

Hello Everyone,   when creating a new change notice, the system automatically inserts the default change task in the implementation plan. That's fine so far.   However, the description of the default change task is automatically filled with the description of the change notice. That doesn't make sense in our way of working.   How can I disable the propagation of the change notice description to the change task description?   Thanks in advance.   Best Chris

My DXF's that are created when checking in assemblies are not "clean". They have bend lines/hatch lines. I need these to come across as No Hidden Lines Type. Is there a way to change this setting?

In the AML/AVL table (in the WTPart object) I can't see the export to excel/pdf action, like it is in the another tables (e.g. AML/AVL Changes). Is it possible to export this table using OOTB capabilities?

Trying out Windchill Desktop Integration (WDI) for the first time using Windchill 11.0 M030. Am I doing something wrong?   Thoughts: I cannot get WDI to show up on the left side of Windows File Explorer like OneDrive or other similar apps. Is there a way to get it to show by default? WDI very hidden otherwise. See attached image. WDI doesn't not show up as an app anywhere in Windows 10 - it's like a hidden install. Searching for Windchill returns no application in Windows. Dragging files in create new documents seems to work well - sub types and require attributes show up (unlike Drop and Drag Windchill in a browser). I'm limited to Promotion Requests or Set State for promoting - no Change Notice or other Windchill change types? Promotion Requests can only be created from 1 document at a time using WDI? Using Windchill in a browser, you can do multiple objects with 1 promotion request. Inserting Windchill Attributes into Excel is very easy. Linking this could Windchill Docum

I have looked for a few days with nothing definitive so far. I am looking for a possible event to listen for when notifications or emails are sent to the email queue. Has anyone worked with this topic before. Thank you in advance.

I'm running into two fairly significant problems with Windchill and I could really use some help. Additional files generated during publishing do not always agree with the corresponding models (at the same revision.) Users outside of engineering are unable to view all of the models in an assembly in Creo View. Both of these situations are being caused by the publisher using the 'As Stored' config spec when the 'As Stored' version of the model is not the same as the 'As Released' version.  For example:   Drawing or Assembly A.1 - In Work A.2 - Released   Model A.1 - In Work A.2 - In Work ('As Stored' when drawing version A.2 was created.) A.3 - Released   A.2 of the drawing/assembly and A.3 of the model are both released together, but when published the older, unreleased version of the model is being used.  For drawings this could mean the wrong geometry is displayed.  For assemblies it means that users outside of engineering can't eve
