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.

 Hello,   We have checked the ptc documentation on part Instance, but it not sufficient to understand.  What is the business use of Part Instance? If you can help with any example , it will be great help.   Most importantly why to create Part Instance? Thank you.

How can the Default Envelope.prt be created and or updated and saved, when the assembly is checked in? So the two are always in sync. Your help is most welcome Dan Pasholk

I need to check the CN summary of over 200 CNs. Is it possible to pull multiple CN summary at once or is there any customization possible for this. Thanks!! 

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

Hey, have a simple one I think.  We create our part numbers in creo (Auto Generated). Faster for designers and engineers to get things done.    Then after the fact, we create the gear parts / WT parts.    Slight problem. The Gear part is creating its own number that is different and independent of the cad part no. How do I get them to auto-generate/associate without manually entering every gear part number?     Cheers RC  

ref: CS22167From Org, Groups UI, one can see all members of each Group. There is no way to output this to a file. Cannot get info using any Windchill report.Has anyone solved this problem (found a way to export Group membership to Excel)? We're required to periodically audit membership and this would be very helpful.

Hi all I would like to know about the use of Windchill Info Modeler, Can anyone share any article or documentation on this.    Is it possible to integrate Windchill with other downstream applications using InfoModeler.   Thanks Chaithra Sree

Hi all,is there a possibility to mention the import job number, done via importable spreadsheet, in the part history?As I import e.g. a BOM there is only visible that something happend, but no possibility to mention anything in the comments.ThanksMarkus

Hi all, In our windchill 11 installation, the users can only create a workspace, but don't can delete. In photo the error. I found this article: Article - CS111752 Access permission for deleting a workspace in Windchill PDMLink But this permission already existing in windchill. If I acces with site admin, I can delete workspace of others user. How I can fix this problem? Thanks  

Hello,   I am trying to generate a report of all objects (all versions & Iterations) under a product using Report Management. But it is only showing latest iterations of all revisions of objects and not all iterations. Any suggestions would help.   Regards, Abhi

We have our topics stored in several folders, based on the year of creation; however, a lot of the time our original topics need to be updated many months, or even years, later.Is there a way to find topics that were modified or created within a specific date range? *The search will need to span multiple libraries/contexts/products.***Preferably, the result will be a compressed file with all new/updated dita topics or .htm files.Thanks!

Hi All,   OOTB "Move" action is disabled in Project context. this action is hidden by "wt.dataops.conatinermove.processors.MoveValidator" . is any way to make it visible in projectlink context.   Regards, Vivek

If I have CAD drawings being modified in a PROJECT, how do I maintain the WTPart association that it has in PDM following the PDM Check-in?    I thought I had to collect the Part when I revise the CAD drawing (in PDM; can't add a drawing to a project to modify unless in WIP) to keep it connected, but when I do a Convert to PDM Check-out on the drawing, the Part doesn't maintain its association when I Send back to PDM when I am done.   I can do a PDM Check-out on the Part, but it may need to be worked on in PDM during the course of a Project (our projects can last 18 months).    I can show them how to associate the Parts to the drawings when they come back to PDM, but there has to be an easier way. 

Windchill 10.0 adds several key enhancements to Windchill MPMLink to manage modular manufacturing BOMs, process plans and work instructions which support product family variability. The ability to deliver a numerous number of product configurations of increasing complexity has significant impacts on the manufacturing organizations.Leveraging the integral solution of Windchill MPMLink, the manufacturing engineer is able to quickly analyze the engineering product options and understand all the potential option combinations that will need to be produced. Assessing all potential combinations early in the development process is critical in order to ensure that all variations can be produced given the manufacturing capacities and constraints but mainly to design “modular” manufacturing deliverables that will optimize the manufacturing plans for these variable products and streamline the operations for commonly ordered products. In order to execute on this modular product architecture strateg

Sorry if this is another rookie question... but I have read here about the ability to search for objects that are in users' workspaces. How do I do this? I have files - I don't know how many - that I need to clean up, as we are doing a re-organization of our Windchill cabinets soon. I want to move some, and I want to delete the latest Rev of some others, but I can't because they are in a Workspace somewhere. I can log in as orgadmin.I realize that if they are in the user's side Workspace then I have a bigger problem.

Hey all, I am trying to write a java code in order to create a new custom filter to view product structure browser. I am new to windchill customisation and any suggestion or help will be really appreciated. Thanks, Suthakar
