I have a family table of parts with 33 variants. I have a second family table of 33 assemblies that uses those 33 parts and adds a few extra standard components.  Depending on the assembly variant, certain sub components are turned on and off - hence the QTY changes.   I've used the "compare to part" utility to update my WT parts with the structure from the CAD. This seems to have set the QTY of sub parts from the generic as the quantity for every variant, even when there are less.   I'll put some numbers and names to it:   Parts Family Table:    (    Plate Generic    Plate 1    Plate 2    ....    Plate 33    ) Cover Rivet   Assemblies:   Family Table    (    Plate Assembly Generic         - Plate Generic x 1         - Cover x 4         - Rivet x 8      Plate Assembly 1       &nb

I deleted the Org Admin group by accident, thinking it was one I had created. I have recreated a new ORG ADMIN group in Participant Administration and added the users that should be in the group. However, when I go to The Organization page and select Administrators, I get the heading of Organization Administrators, but I get the following error message when I go to add a user to that grouping.   Unable to update deleted group "ORG ADMIN".   How can I get this list to populate with the Org Admins?   Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS08  

Hi, I want to automatically generate pdf and dxf file from drw file while publishing it on Windchill. Is there any way to solve this because for now, I do it manually. 

"Send to PDM" from project context fails with the prompt   ATTENTION: The object with the following key was deleted or inaccessible: "wt.epm.EPMDocument>xxxxxxxx"   Searching the SQL database table EPMDocument with the id referenced in the prompt does not produce any results. For such a case I understand there's the script #2 in this article for Oracle, but not for MS SQL... https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS131389   Anyone have such, or other ideas?

Any one can explain those difference? Here is what my understanding: Check out: you can only check out to a workspace check out to workspace: don't understand this one add to workspace: create a copy to workspace, there is no link between copy in workspace and file in the Windchill

The parameter "PTC_WM_Created_by:d" isn't created until the actual drawing for a part is created, preventing it's use in a drawing boarder (for a newly created drawing from a format).  How have others tackled this conundrum?    The suggestions I've read are: Drive it from a part/assembly level parameter. Reapply the format after drawing creation. Add it to a table that gets inserted after drawing creation.  Up until recently, our drawings have been part/assembly attribute driven.  We're working to correct that, and are driving much more of the content from Windchill.  Our template parts now have very little in terms of parameters.  This is one of the last hold outs.  It seems it's easier to keep it as a parameter. 

Good afternoon, what Templates can be used to edit the task and Promotion Request pages in Windchill.And how to see the result and appearance after editing?

Hi,   We have completed an upgrade from WC 10.1 to 11.1 and are now working through licensing. Our guestimate for licensing was defined last December while negotiating our renewal contract with PTC. Unfortunately, Windchill 10.1 does not have any license tools, so there was no way to know what the true need would be.   iRobot is a typical MCAD/ECAD/PLM customer running Creo and Windchill. The additional modules we have are Partslink, Supplier Management and Product Analytics for Cost.   Now that we've upgraded, a few things have come to light that are not apparent on the support pages. Most importantly, don't underestimate the true number of Author licenses you'll need. The Contributor license sounds good, but it is strictly limited to document checkout/checkin and participation in tasks.   Partslink and Supplier Management are required for every Author license(this is part of the purchase agreement) Partslink and/or Supplier Management CANNOT be added to a Contrib

I want to test the load on windchill server using apache jmeter. How can I do this...

Hi,Can someone help me with a SQL query or a piece of code to extract all the list of Groups in my Windchill Instance and the associated users in every group. I couldn't find a straightforward API that can be used to query this and get it out.Thanks in advance!

I want to delete owner link associations of different version of WTPart to single EPMDocument through API.Guide me some way to achieve this through API.

Did any one have idea about the API to get the Allocated Parts from Standard operations.  Note: Allocated parts will be shown in the Process Plan structure of Standard Operations but will not shown in allocated parts tab of Standard Operation.

How to handle Releasing objects (parts and Assemblies) in CAD (CAD/PDMLINK) before they are approved for use in manufacture?   Background Releasing an object in ERP is a manual operation controlled by the our manual ECN process. Releasing an object in PDMLINK is controlled by a Promotion Request.   When an object is released in CAD a zip file (containing a PDF and STEP file) is manually created and stored in a Design Release folder (named by ECN no.). When the ECN is released the ERP is updated and the zip file is moved to a Production Release folder and any previous revision of zip file is moved to an archive folder.   Problem – CAD/PDMLINK An object is Released at revision 1 in PDMLINK and ERP (zip file stored in Production Release folder). A change is proposed and the object is revised to revision 2 at WIP for Release in PDMLINK. The change is completed in CAD and the object is promoted to Released in PDMLINK.   The object is still Released at revision 1 in ERP u

How can i add a validation on the checkin wizard through workspace, to check if the location selected is not default folder of the context?

Hi there,   we have an issue with the process status table in our promotion request workflow.   When a workflow is completed, e.g. a problem report, the process status, the task history is shown in the process status table:     In promotion request, the process status only shows the group assignments, but not the completed tasks (1). This makes it difficult to retrace the process. A minor issue is that the process status table is not shown in the top (2).     Any ideas how to debug this further and make Windchill to show the task history as in other workflows?   Best regards Chris

Hello everyone,  I need to write a WebService that act as Save As action in Windchill. This means that i have to duplicate part, assembly, drawing and related relationships. My idea is to get the complete BOM of the original part and then: duplicate part,duplicate assembly, duplicate drawing and re load the reationships... huge amount of work. I wondering if there is a better way to do the task.   .Thank you

Hello, please tell me how to save changes to the file web.xml (Windchill_home/codebase/WEB_INF/web.xml)?

Hello everyone, please tell me, I need to tick the list of options?  

Hello everyone, please tell me which files do you edit most often, which commands do you use often? Do you have any examples you can share? I am studying Windchill and would like to learn how professionals operate

Hello everyone, please tell me how to determine from which table in the Database the elements are taken to build a table on the site Windchill? I have full access to the files and the Database.

We have our revision sequencing that starts at A and goes through Y for pre-release documents and then can jump at anytime during the alpha phase to numeric revisions starting at 0. In some cases we need to define the initial revision when we load a document into Windchill to be at revision 0. Currently we do it the back wood method of revising the revision A document to revision ) and then do the promotion request. This leaves us with a revision A document that does not really exist.   Is there a modification to the OIR that can be used to select the initial revision from the revision table or at least ask for the revision to be entered?   We are on Windchill 11.0 m030 CPS08.

We are in the process of setting additional Windchill systems. One is on a secured network and the other 2 or on the open internet , though protected from outside access. We know we have more users than licenses on the secured system as the original admin put everyone in the company into the system. We have down sized since then (2008) and I have been marking accounts with a NLH (No Longer Here) to their names so we can see that someone who did something is not here. I still have more accounts to mark, but it is a low priority task.   With the additional Windchill systems, some of our users will need accounts on all 3 systems and some only 2 of the 3. When it comes to licensing, is it per username (1 license needed for all systems) or per user account (1 license needed for each user on each Windchill)? Are Windchill licenses served from a common server, like Creo licenses? This would allow sharing between the 2 new Windchill systems as the share the same network. I share Creo code
