Windchill

Hi frendz, i am using Creo 2.0 and Windchill 11.0 In Windchill, the thumbnail(Creo view) does't appears for some files but other files showing fine. So, do need to specially designate anything while uploading into Windchill to show the thumbnail? Guys could you help me to solve this issue?   Thangs and Regards!! Vignesh😐

My company has recently had a bunch of Family Table instances disappear in pdmlink.  It seems to happen when someone opens an assembly with the older version of the part, and when prompted on the conflict window selects check out when they try to check in.  Has anybody else had a similar problem, or have any ideas on how to prevent it?

Hmmm... no answers, let's try refrasing the question  😄   Is it possible to link the drawing from the upstream wtpart in Engineering View where the drawing is linked with calculated association to a downstream wtpart in Manufacturing View?   -----------------------   Hi, I've just started playing with installing MPMLink (11.0 M030 CPS16) to see if we could use it for MBOM, but I'm stuck with something probably very basic. The idea is to build MBOM from EBOM, in MAPSB "New Downstream Part" is ok, that could be used, but what is needed to maintain the link to the upstream wtpart related EPMDoc drawing, which are associated with calculated links? What we want is to be able to fetch the engineering drawings through the MBOM structure, but is it doable?   In Installation and Configuration Guide there's a section "To convert buildrule links to Inherited links..."  What is an "inherited link"? How does it behave compared to other association types docu

Since I didn't go to 11.1, I cannot say for sure, but I'm thinking this is new to 11.2.  There is a massive change to the way that a Change Requests (CR) get closed when a Change Notice (CN) closes that it references.  For the old code no longer a closes CRs when a CN finalizes.  So far I have found that the code in the Synch Robot has changed quite a bit.  Also there is a new variable in the CR workflow called handlesClosure.  It isn't used in the code.  Does anyone know what all was added to the OOTB CR workflow and or CN workflow that I need to add to my custom CR and CN workflow?  I do have a call open, but haven't heard from anyone in 4 days.

Hello, What is the Correct way to map an Attribute from the WT-Part to an ALIAS Attribute on the Uses Occurence Attributes? I haven't found a working mapping yet. Thank you in advance!

I'm new to Windchill, just having it installed. I'm already an Admin for Solidworks PDM (5 years), now a newly ordained Admin for Winchill - since the prior Admin has left the company. Awesome. 😉   Many questions: 1) Can Windchill maintain all file types like JPG, MS Office docs, DWG, etc? I'm assuming yes as these type of files have no relations between them. Is anything extra needed for the maintaining of these file types? 2) Are there "plugins" available to allow maintaining of native Solidworks parts & assemblies? 3) Does Windchill have a workflow module? Is that extra or built in? 4) What resources would you recommend? I'm guessing I can locate a local VAR and inquire about local admin training. Just also asking what other resources you would recommend? 5) Is there an annual users group conference type thing?   Thank you in advance.

Hi all  I am trying out  Example1DesignFilesAccessAppConfigThing in TWX Navigate 8.5.3. I was in Composer at  https://domain.com/Thingworx/Composer/index.html#/modeler/details/Mashup~DesignFilesAccessAppMashup/attributes , and clicked 'View Mashup'.  It is trying to load  https://domain.com/Thingworx/Runtime/jquery.qtip.min.map .  In Chrome Inspect Sources tab, it is clear that there is no jquery.qtip under /Thingworx/Runtime . Can I fix this by loading an extension?   To see this mashup rendered right, is it correct to use the URL https://domain.com/Thingworx/Runtime/index.html?mashup=CommonSearchAccessAppMashup&configEntity=Example1DesignFilesAccessAppConfigThing&appMashupname=DesignFilesAccessAppMashup#master=PTC.AccessApp.Master&mashup=CommonSearchAccessAppMashup&configEntity=Example1DesignFilesAccessAppConfigThing&appMashupname=DesignFilesAccessAppMashup thanks Rick

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Help me figure out the server configuration for Creo and Windchill. There is a server, or rather a powerful workstation that acts as a server for the design Department -7700K Core i7 (4.2 Ghz), -64GB of RAM, - Raid 1 hard drive-500GB ssd (for Windows server Essentials), -2TB hard drive for Creo and Windchill, -2Tb hard disk for file cleaning The server is used as AD and DNS plus Creo and windchill are running on it So, due to the huge database of Creo and Windchill, and especially the presence of many small files (and they are a VERY big problem when copying), backing up PTC products (Creo and Windchill) takes a long time, i.e. they can no longer be copied overnight. In addition, to copy, you need to turn off all services that are running for PTC(Creo and Windchill), and this sometimes causes a lot of problems due to the fact that the same Windchill receives a lot of tasks for publishing, visualization during the day, and in the background it must per

Hello, For example: If someone at the company gets ill, all Tasks he/she recieves won't be processed. If he has got a deputy, those tasks would be processed, even though he's not in the company. So is there a possibility to set a deputy for a specific user, who can approve the tasks? Thanks in Advance! Best Regards, hautschi

Greetings,   We have a situation where we sent files to a vendor and they have changed the CREO assembly and sub-parts. However, we don't know what they changed. We want to put back into Windchill. They sent us a backup folder with files. I imagine we can use the import feature to do this? Does anyone have a documented way of handling this as easily as possible?   Release: 11.0 M030-CPS14   Wayne

Need help converting the blow sql into QuerySpec   SELECT *FROM DISCRETEACTIONITEM DAIJOIN ITERATEDACTIONITEMSUBJECTLINK ISL ON DAI.IDA2A2 = ISL.IDA3A5JOIN CONTROLBRANCH CB ON ISL.BRANCHIDA3B5 = CB.IDA2A2JOIN WTPARTMASTER PM ON CB.IDA3B5 = PM.IDA2A2;

In order to query the latest WTpart 'version', etc A,B.C...etc. querySpec： QuerySpec qs1 = new QuerySpec(); qs1.setAdvancedQueryEnabled(true); int classIndex = qs1.appendClassList( wt.part.WTPart.class, false ); SQLFunction fun=new SQLFunction(SQLFunction.MAXIMUM,new ClassAttribute( wt.part.WTPart.class , "versionInfo.identifier.versionId" ) ); qs1.appendSelect(fun, new int[] { classIndex }, false); qs1.appendWhere(new SearchCondition( wt.part.WTPartMaster.class , "number" , "=" , "test_number" ),WTPartMasterIndex ); The query result always throw exception"A statement with aggregate function can not be used with access control."I try to change SQLFunction MAXIMUM to "LENGTH", and It is work. What's the hell? What can I do resovle the query requirement?

1.  I have a custom scheduled job created but it always runs in context 'site' and always returns null.  I understand this is by design. 2.  When I try to schedule my custom job in my org, my custom job name does not display in the job listbox to choose.  The custom job name only displays when I am in the job administrator scheduler for 'site'. 3.  I am struggling how to get my custom job name to display in the job administrator scheduler for my 'org' and have not been able to verify if my custom job java code is correct.   See the code below.   Any hints or suggestions are appreciated.

We need certain tasks/notifications to happen AFTER the state of the objects change: For buy parts, purchasing to send released drawings to suppliers (with updated watermark that reflects the new released state) For make parts, manufacturing program any CNC files, etc. How do people handle these post release tasks/notifications? Custom workflow? Almost seems like there should be post release tasks in the Change Notice Implementation Plan. Seems like this would be pretty common?

Hi,   just found https://windchill-extensions.ptc.com/ Are these extensions new? Anybody tried with Windchill 11.0?   The idea sounds nice and some coming soon extensions (depending on price) could be helpfull.   br Bernhard

Hello the goal is to avoid user access in Windchill (or a list of users) without deleting or damaging the user itself (considering he/she can be reactivated in the future). Some articles provided by PTC support did not work in our environment https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS145660 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS71201   The next one didn't work because the Windchill user credentials are synchronized with Active Directory / LDAP: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS102243    Because all of this, now I'm asking to the ptc Community. Thanks and Reg      

We share a couple of laptops. On one, Google asked if we wanted the password saved after logging into Windchill. This seems to have locked us into a member account, since we can't find a logout button anywhere.Looking at similar discussions, I'm not the only one looking. So how do I log out?

Hi, hope someone can assist.The existing QA host (windchill-test) was set up as a Cluster Node in production pre-rehost. So when trying to make windchill-test the "new" host again, we got a duplicate key error from the fvHost table. I suppose this makes sense and perhaps we used the wrong approach if we just wanted to update the existing QA host with the latest production data?We were unable to remove the Cluster Nodes during the rehost so we used a workaround by renaming them to "fake" hosts in order to be able to change the Standalone Node.   After we got all the services up again we were able to remove the cluster nodes from the front-end.   What I would like to know is whether it is going to be necessary to use this workaround each time we do a rehost?Is the QA host supposed to be set up as a Cluster Node in production? We inherited this setup from the previous admin so not sure if this is best practice?Should we have used a different rehost approach to just update the

There is a attribute defined on a document type, the value is carried over by new iteration or revision once it was created out of box. How can I custom to not carry over the value but reset to empty every time new revision? Eg Audit Type field was set "Initial" at A.1, new iteration to A.2 the value carried over. However  when Revise to B.1, the value was reset to empty.

Hi, I will explain the attached picture and ask a question. The expected scenario is as follows: CAM_FOLLOWER.asm has 4 components.Among CAM_FOLLOWER.asm, BASE.PRT is checked in from A.3 to A.4, and CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is not checked in.   In this situation, CAM_FOLLOWER.asm has been revised to B.1.After checking in, iteration of version B increased, and it is necessary to view the latest data of version A.   The filters you can use to add data for A.3 in CAM_FOLLOWER.asm to your workspace are "Latest" and "On save". (Except promote and baseline)If you select latest, CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is A.3, but the rest of the components get the latest iteration of version B.If you select Save, you get the component when CAM_FOLLOWER.asm is checked in.That is, BASE.PRT A.4 cannot be imported.   The point of the question is how to get the latest iteration of the assembled parts for the previous version.   I hope my explanation was good enough, and please leave a good answer.Thank you.

Is it just me...or does anyone else find it slightly worrying that you can delete your entire index without confirmation? Having just spent all weekend nursing a complete index rebuild it became all too apparent how easy it would be to accidentally choose the wrong option and undo all that work. To make things worse, the 'check' and 'delete' options are right next to each other! Am I missing something here?

Hi, Is thingworx navigate integration with Flex PLM possible? If yes, which are the connectors or utilities to be used for integrating? Thanks in advance.   Regards, Kiran Gurav
