Hi,   when you use the function "Compare to Part Structure" for a wtpart, you can "Manage Structure Views" for both frames. Wouldn't it be more useful, if you could manage both structure views at once. I don't see a Use Case, where you want to compare two part structures, but with different views.   Regards, Patrick

In what SQL table is the custom meta stored. For example, we have custom Objects types & attributes. I'd like to query the SQL database but I don't know in what table this information is stored? Any ideas?

So I am getting no help from my open call with PTC (I haven't heard back from them in almost a week) or my VAR right now on this issue.  I export a CSV out of Windchill for my template so that I can fill out my PartsLink structure and import it back in.  However when I get to the point of using the command to convert the CSV to an XML file so I can import it, I get an error that says the Header sequence did not match expected header sequence.  When I search it, I get a CS number that says the header should be a certain way, but it is nowhere close to what came out of Windchill in the first place.  That makes absolutely no sense to me.  It should be export what you want imported.   All I need is a good CSV file that has the correct headers so that I can use as a template.  I am on Windchill 11.0 m030-cps11.  Does anyone have a CSV template file with the correct headers that you can share with me?  I do not want to build this by entering every

Hi,We have a table which is showing the WTPart objects (100 Parts are in the table). The table is showing only 10 objects and we need to scroll down the table to see the full list of objects.But the requirement is it should display all the objects in the table. How to achieve this requirement?ThanksSelva

Any information on how to integrate Windchill with Office Online? Use Case: View/edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly in the browser  

Is it possible to view WPA flex fields via the UI?How can you edit the UI to support this?

I would like to find a method that could be used to reference a variable (using an expression that is in the ECN workflow) yet the variable was created during the ECR workflow.     The expression would look like the following:   If (mkt1)   {                    If !  (marketing_nomore_1)       < this line is probably wrong since the variable exists outside of the                                                                                                                      workflow            &nbs

Is there any way, hopefully a simple way, to reorganize the order in which things show on the Details page of a CN?  For example, I would like to move the Associated Reference Objects from the bottom to just after the Attributes.  

Hi fellow devs,   do you know how I could customize the advanced search functionality to list the results based on a ConfigSpec, or something similar. Considering I have multiple Released states (Signed, Effective), I want to show the results in this order: Effective or Signed or In Work.  The bold versions should be listed in the resulting table:   0001.A.1 -> Released 0001.B.1-> InWork    0002.A.1->Obsolete 0002.B.1-> Signed 0002.C.1-> InWork   0003.A.1-> InWork   0004.A.1->Effective

Good morning we face a problem today in our compagny,   we are working on big machines (between 4000 and 8000 items) during the day people open different simplified representations, and sometime  at the end, their workspace is filled with 4000 items they don't want to erase items from their workspace to avoid to reload everything from Windchill our comfiguration is one Master Server 1000 km from us and a replica hier on site, with a synchronisation of data every night. We are in Creo P4 M90 + Windchill10.2  M30 cps25   when we close and start again Creo (parametric4) , the "synchronisation" take between 5 to 8 minutes I mean by "synchronisation" the time between the Windchill login and the acces to the workspace in Creo I suppose that this is a "synchronisation" problem because with 100 part in a workspace , Creo open in 15 secondes! my question is  : what Can I do for that? ptc ticket?, check some setting in Config.pro/sup? our network spee

I was trying to create an Audit and when I tried to create an audit summary, I noticed that while filling the "Audit Details" there is some column to be filled, Can anyone please help me with the Audit Summary since:   I am not able to understand on what basis the summary is created? What each column means and what are the factors?  An example would be great to understand. I am attaching screen-shots the "Audit Details" sequences which I have tried and the PDF of Audit Summary. 

Hello,        I have a EPMDocument i.e abc.drw . Their is a calculated association link between epm and wtpart. What is the API to get wtpart from that epm .  

Hi all,   We are looking for a way to adapt specific attributes on released WT-Parts. One example: our assembeld products are getting weighed after assembly. Now this measured weight always differs a bit from the inital calculated one, which we enter before we release the part for production. At the moment there are two possibilites for us. We either ask our Admin to set state back to in Work and we can change it or we have to revise the part. In my understanding both of those possiblities are actually wrong, setting back a released part to in work can be very dangerous, as then production don't have any released reference anymore and revising I see as wrong as  we don't change something on the part but to add the measurments of this specific revision.    Did anyone of you face a similar challenge? We are thankful for any approach.   BR

Hi there,   how can I tell the CAD worker to NOT delete the files in the working directory after the publishing job is done?   I would need to have a look into those files for debugging purposes. We use Windchill 11.0 M030.   Thank you in advance.   Best regards Chris

This customer reported that they see Non-Matching Variant during Configure steps for a configurable part.But they don't know why. Referred article CS133666, I understand that structure and IBAs are checked.However I cannot reproduce to show Non-Matching Variant by changing IBA of child or usagelink.Could anyone tell me simple way to create Non-Matching Variant without changing structure? Thanks,Tsutomu

Dear all,   is there a way to prevent the CAD application to hide during import to workspace?   I would need the CAD application to stay visible during import for debugging purposes.   Thank you in advance for your help and best regards Chris

Hi There,   In FRACAS is a field Serial Number (FRACAS) which can be used to enter serial numbers. E.g. Configuration A has part x,y,z and x,y,z has serial number 1,2,3. During operation it is possible that part y(2) is replaced by y(6). Obviously you can enter a new serial number.    However, how is it possible to track how long party y(2) was used and how long part y6) is used? And how is it reflected in the failure rate calculation since a part got changed.....   (Like historic tracking Config A was running with these parts for so long and then with those parts for so long and the config last year consisted out of bla bla bla and the configuration this year is with serial bla bla bla.   Kind regards, Tobias  

I am very new to Windchill and am acting as the admin for my company. Several people want to be able to sort promotion requests by who it was created by in the My Tasks table. There is no "Created By" column option in the customize view. From my understanding, I should be able to create an attribute in the "Work Item" section of the Type and Attribute Management utility. However, I cannot seem to get this to work. Can somebody provide instructions on getting this attribute to work correctly and show up in the customize options for My Tasks.   Thanks in advance.

Hi,   Has anyone faced issues like Windchill being slow for certain functions (Version 10.2 M022) only in non English browsers?   We have few users who use PCs with languages other than English as their default language and this specifc group of users alone face slowness often.   Any clue?   Regards, Amar Karthi ARASAN
