Windchill

Hello, I am currently using Windchill Risk and Reliability 13.0.2.1 Enterprise Edition and would like to know, if there is any way to show the part name next to the part number in the System Tree Items selection table of the Configuration definition?I only see the part number in this part/assembly selection table which makes it really challenging to find the correct parts/assemblies without seeing the part names. Windchill Help only states the following (https://support.ptc.com/help/wrr/r13.0.2.0/en/#page/wrr/ReferenceGuide/basics/system_tree_item_configurations_window.html 😞"The display field for the System Tree Items table. By default, the primary display field is Part Number, which indicates the name assigned to the assembly or part. The data in this column is display-only." This is very misleading and wrong in my opinion. The part number does not indicate the name assigned to the part or assembly. Probably I am missing something, but this is very anno

In our case, we have cut to length items such as fuel hoses, plastic tubing, foam strips, edge guards, etc that are bought in bulk, then they are cut to length on the assembly line.  Today we create manual WTpart BOM's because we have not associated our CAD models to the WTparts yet, but getting ready to . I am trying to figure on how to handle the cut to length components.  Our WTpart default unit is in inches per below which is carried over into our ERP (Oracle).So I associate the CAD model to the WTpart, I am thinking it will be "image" association because the CAD model will be configured at a different routing each time.  The BOM quantity will show up as 1 instead of the required quantity (such as 30, for 30 inches of tubing).   How do I get it to show up as 30 ?Any suggestions would be great

Anyone have experience using Jasper report dedicated queues?  I've found this link: https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_BusLogicCust_ReportGeneration_DedicatedQueueJasperReportScheduling.htmlHowever when I follow the instructions the queues are not created automatically after restarting Windchill.  Not sure if there are other properties that need to be in place?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.1.2NX中组件下面有个子件，对子件右键--替换引用集--Empty，如此就只会显示子件，如图1如果子件右键--替换引用集--BODY，就会全部显示，如图2如果按照这种方式（子件右键--替换引用集--Empty）去操作后，检入windchill后生成的可视化却会将之前隐藏的那个引用的底盘又显示出来。如图三。我们测试了，用可视化服务器上的NX打开的话看到的结果是正确的（也就是只会显示那个子件）是需要设置哪里？2R2445162

Hello guys,   From your experience which edition suits better Windchill application, especially in term of performance aspect.   Does Standard Edition cover it? of course there is a big difference in the price footprint.   We want to make a decision before buying the Oracle licenses.   Thanks

We are unable to save inventor assembly having derived substitute model to windchill.While trying to save the inventor assembly to windchill it shows "Member Not Found" error in the windchill workgroup manager.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.2Our customer requires a report detail list(CSV) of documents that contain links to other documents (details about the XML link and the linked to item). Is there existing functionality in Windchill that we can use (we have access to the Windchill jars and APIs or this may be available on the GUI) to generate this report? What would be the simplest way to generate such a report? The end goal of this it to 'unshare' items that have sufficient differences that they cannot be shared.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: A CAD model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that uses a particular font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font, giving an incorrect representation without any error notification.Description: Hi everyone,I’m running into an unexpected behavior with the Windchill CAD Worker when publishing Creo Parametric models that contain text using a non-standard font. In our case, the model includes a feature whose geometry is generated from a text string that specifically uses this font. Since the font isn’t installed on the CAD Worker machine, the worker silently replaces it with another font. The publish job finishes successfully, but the resulting representation is incorrect and doesn’t match the original model. What’s most concerning is that the issue isn’t clearly reported anywhere. The only trace is a single warning line in the trail file, but no

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am working on implementing Engineering Change Management in Windchill from the perspective of a Business Analyst within the Configuration Management department. I currently have both the AS-IS process and a proposed TO-BE process mapped out. Given this situation, I want to understand how an experienced Windchill/Configuration Management professional would approach this initiative. Where would you begin the configuration within Windchill to ensure the new process is structured, efficient, and scalable? What would be the logical sequence of steps to move from process definition to system configuration and rollout? I wanted an overall outline on this.Description: Our company is transitioning from managing change requests through email and Jira to a standardized Change Management process within Windchill. We currently use both Fast Track and Full Track processes for handling Change Requests (CRs), and the goal is to migrate these into Windchill whil

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to migrate the full configuration of a development instance of Windchill into a production instance on a separate server. I have identified the aspects of configuration below that I would like to bring across: 1. Attributes (Local & Global) 2. Enumerations 3. Policies 4. Object Initialization Rules 5. Object Sub-Types 6. Workflows 7. Lifecycles 8. Users 9. User Groups 10. Change Task Templates 11. Folder Structure 12. Profiles? 13. Preferences (site, organization, context, and user) 14. Config of Local Team Roles and Members Having looked into this first, I understand that it is important to import certain elements of config into my production instance first so that the other elements can be created successfully. For example, it would probably not be a good idea to import object sub-types in before importing the attributes that the sub-types make use of first. Based on this, I have decided that a good starting point would be migrat

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Newly configured ERP Connector needs all existing released data in Windchill sent to it. Description: How does one send all existing released Windchill data out a newly configured ERP connector connection without altering the existing data in Windchill?  Normally the data will automatically be sent based off a state change or being part of a change notice.  Both of those things require creating or changing existing data in Windchill.  What options exist (if any) to push all existing released data out a newly configured ERP connection without changing states or creating new CNs for millions of existing objects?  Thanks.
