How to create new documents from the templates of a specific library and attaching the newly created documents as related objects automatically when creating a new WTpart , Can anyone help me with this??

Hi All, I'm looking at an issue we have. Some users are collating copies of released drawings in PDF outside of Windchill because it's too much pain pulling a full drawing set from the products and Libraries. We have project Link but are restricted from using this externally.   Does anyone have a similar issue and how have you resolved this?   #Looking for ideas. Thanks in advance

HiAs we have attribute in windchill, we have parameter in Creo.... As far as I know, people maps attribute and parameter...Question is related to system attribute for cad file....one of the attribute is date created.value for the same is default date time at which one has checked in. can we change this from Creo parameter by any chance? Any other way is there to change this or not ?

A hypothetical has been lobbed my way and I don't have a concrete answer. We have 20 Contexts and Libraries. They all use a simple revision series; -, A, B, C, etc. The new question I've been asked to explore is whether it's possible to have one (or perhaps more than one) context/library follow a different revision series; -, -1, -2, -3, A, A1, A2, A3, B B1, B2, B3, etc. I feel like I saw something about this being possible some time ago, but I've yet to get any sort of useful results on the eSupport Portal for any query since PTC "upgraded" it awhile back. So, is it possible to have different revision series for different contexts/libraries? If so, where is this outlined?

Does anyone know of a way with (minimal to nocustomization) to have the system delete objects in the system that have been removed from the resulting objects table of a change task? Or maybe some way to efficiently search for all theseorphaned resulting objectsso they could more easily be manually deleted?My understanding of WC10 out of the box funtionality is that if I decided to revise an object into the resulting objects table of the change task the next rev of the affected object (let's say B) is created in the system and displayedin the resulting objectstable. If I then decide I will not be making a change and do notneed to revise that object toB and removerevB from my resulting objects table, Rev B still exists in the system. I need to find some relatively efficient way of deleting those objects from the system without customizing the system to do it automatically.Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

We use Creo 4.0 M070  with Windchill 11.0 M030-CPS13.   The problem occurs when the user is not working for a certain period of time (for example 1 hour).   During the period of Window 7 usage we met "offline appearance" very rarely. Now on Windows 10 this phenomenon is more common. Do you have any explanation ?   Thanks in advance for any piece of information.  

We ran into a bit of a bug with Windchill and it's causing us some heartburn. We have tickets in place and all to get it fixed, but we're trying to find a short term solution and PTC has yet to be able to give us a reasonable answer so I'm turning to you the community.   So 2 months ago I asked for help on a (seemingly) simple Query Builder report. We've all seen the structure report if you're using Product Structure right? And the BOM reports? Well we're looking for an Instance report.   On the structure tab for a Part Instance there is a listed structure. A part instance As-Built with serial numbers.   For given instance   Assembly1               Instance: 001A      Subassembly2     Instance: 002A      Subassembly2     Instance: 002B   You might also have   Assembly1      &nbsp

Hello, I did some REST 1.5 API tests in Postman and things do look good. However, I found some problems which I cannot explain. For example, I am unable to do Checkout/Checkin on WTpart. I created new WTPart and tried to do Checkout via REST call, someting like that: http://tomazj-wnc11.audax2.local/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR:wt.part.WTPart:1462146')/PTC.CheckOut Exactly like in Windchill REST Services User’s Guide v1.5, page 167. I used POST call, I got current CSRF_NONCE. Return JSON is : { "error": { "code": null, "message": "The type of the type cast 'PTC.CheckOut' is not defined." } } MS log error is: 2019-06-14 10:58:43,931 ERROR [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8010-exec-2] com.ptc.odata.windchill.servlet.WcRestServlet wcadmin - An unexpected REST error occured Type 'PTC.CheckOut' not found.   It looks like there is something wrong with my REST implementation in Windchill. I got v1.5 via 11.0 M030 CPS 15 install. I authenticate in Windchill as wcadmin. Any ideas? Regards.

I'm creating a table which doesn't have business objects in it but custom POJOs. This is how the table is configured and filled with data: @Override public ComponentConfig buildComponentConfig(ComponentParams arg0) throws WTException { ComponentConfigFactory factory = getComponentConfigFactory(); TableConfig table = factory.newTableConfig(); table.setLabel("Test-Table"); table.setSelectable(true); table.setShowCustomViewLink(true); table.addComponent(factory.newColumnConfig("firstName", "First Name", true)); table.addComponent(factory.newColumnConfig("lastName", "Last Name", true)); table.addComponent(factory.newColumnConfig("link", "Arbitrary Link", true)); return table; } @Override public Object buildComponentData(ComponentConfig arg0, ComponentParams arg1) throws Exception { Vector<Object> list = new Vector<>(); Person person1 = new Person(); person1.setFirstName("Homer"); person1.setLastName("Simpson"); person1.setLink("http://www.ho

Hello All,   I'm trying to move a bunch of users from one group to another group. Is there a way to do bulk move the users from one group to another group. I was just wondering if there are any load files or any other way to do this process.   Thanks in Advance, Kiran

Greetings, I would like to create an Org level Group within a context that has restricted printing and downloading permissions. I see the ACL's to restrict downloading, but don't seem to see how one would prevent them from printing a document.   Our documents are PDFs, we are also restricting this Group from seeing any source documents.   Any ideas about restricting printing?  I'm assuming it has to be in Creo View. - James - Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS08WGM 11.0 M030Inventor Pro 2017Windows 10

There is a BOM structure. The condition is that before a child is not at its RELEASED state, Parent cannot be released.I have used  wt.doc.WTDocumentHelper.service.getUsesWTDocumentMasters() to get the child document.I want to get the state of the child document. SO I used,                              WTDocumentMaster childPart = (WTDocumentMaster) childInfo;                               wt.lifecycle.State childState = ((_LifeCycleManaged) childPart).getLifeCycleState();ERROR is -> wt.doc.WTDocumentMaster cannot be cast to wt.lifecycle._LifeCycleManagedI cannot get the state of the object. The above function does not work for WTDocumentMaster. Neither does object.getState().How should I

HiI have created two CAD objects of Creo part type.... They are having name as P1.prt and P2.prtBoth of these parts have family table instances as instance1.Now, I am connecting to windchill from Creo and tries to check in P1.prt which gets checked in successfully.Post this, check in of P2.prt fails throwing an error that instance.prt model is not unique. How to avoid this issue while check in into windchill...?For us as cad, P1 and P2 are already unique files which are physical files... Instances details are inside generic part files P1 and P2. How to check in these two part files without changing any name of isntances?Thanks and RegardsKetan

Ooohhh the frustration... can anyone with a dictionary "PTC - plain English - PTC" explain me what this is about...   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS183904   What I'd want it to be and what it looks like in the pic in that CS is a truly Ad Hoc Task you can assign to anyone without relation to any process. Ie. not a Change Notice Task, Approve Promotion Task, just a random task to notify someone "Hey I want you to take a look at this and assigned you a Task so you see it in Windchill instead of sending you email about it."   If so, how would a user trigger it?

We would like to configure Windchill server with 7 File Servers to achieve the following requirement.There is a Product container X and user A is from US and user B is from India.Both are members of this Product Container.Both members are required to design two separate product lines using Creo.If user A checks in Creo data it should be deposited in US FCS Master vault and if user B checks in data then it should be deposited in India FCS master vault.Is there any good bractice to configure Replica Vaulting Rules according to this requirement? How can we make sure that data is not stored centrally?

Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS 14   Hi Everyone, I'm successfully able to create a silent installation of DTI.  However I'm unsuccessful at auto-configuring a connection to the production Windchill server.  I thought exporting the registry key and importing it after the installation would do the job but it does not.  I'm able to get the "Production" icon within the "Windchill Documents" area of Windows Explorer but it doesn't contain any configuration data.  When I right-click and choose Windchill->Configuration the window comes up empty.  No servers with an alias.  Has anyone been able to configure DTI automatically?  I would hate to have all my users do this manually.   Thanks, Patrick Williams

See SPR 7906504 for reference 11.0 M030 CPS10 There was a MS Word update to version 1902 (Build 11328.20158) after which:   When we create new documents from Template using Word w/ DTI or  New Document from the Windchill Internet browser folder, the Wizard appears normally.  But when the wizard is completed and the new document is allegedly launched it is the template itself that is downloaded and presented.  There is a new document created in the designated location in Windchill.  But again, when the new file is downloaded it is the template you get.   Has anyone experienced this?  We have a case started with PTC.

When I try to do a 'save as' with any item in Windchill it fails and throws this error message, java.lang.NullPointerException   Anyone know what the fix is?

We are attempting to share a Windchill 11 VM to several folks throughout our company for testing purposes. We are running into issues with sharing our current 250 + GB image.   Anybody have suggestions on reducing the size of that image? What is the size of the VM you are using?   Thanks,   Josh
