Windchill

I have a lot of users who want to be able to do a Project to Project share with the CAD Drawings (AutoCAD and Inventor) but it looks like it isn't possible. Am I missing something in ProjectLink? They want to use the same design in multiple projects with slight changes to make them different.    TIA   Katie

This is a neat trick I use when developing.In Windchill it is difficult to 'logout' and then login as another user. To get around this create two browser bookmarks with url format as:http://username1:password1@windchill-server.ptcnet.ptc.com/Windchill/app/http://username2:password2@windchill-server.ptcnet.ptc.com/Windchill/app/This adds the username and password into the http request, so the user is not prompted. This has the added benefit that you can jump user easily in Windchill if you store the url as a bookmark.This is really useful for demos!This is an example of one of my bookmarks:

Is there a way to display all the attribute fields in the "default view" defined in classification manager when searching a specific node in the Classification Explorer?  For instance, searching facets allows me to filter data, but I'd like to be able to see the values in the table of results.  See attached file for example.

Has anyone been able to create Change Request Templates? The Template group (Org > Templates) is "Change Objects" which hints at the capability being available for all Change objects, but when I try it out I only get the option to create a Change Notice Template.Ultimately what I'm trying to do is have an empty form as an Attachment for each Change Request that gets created. It seems a shame to store the form outside of Windchill, but I don't want to make it a persisted (Primary Content of a WTDocument) Object as that is a bit overkill for the use case.

Is there a way in Windchill that you are able to once a deadline and so many days have passed to where the task is then assigned to someone else? Once it is assigned to that other person I need an email to be sent to notify them of the change

What is the compelling reason or reasons for using Windchill 11.1 over Windchill 11.0?

Is there a skeleton assembly structure tab in Windchill?

Dear All.    Have any of you OIR experts have any syntax examples for the below algorithms that you revwilling to share I can not find anything in the support data that shows how to enter multiple attributes and values.    wt.rule.algorithm.AndTest wt.rule.algorithm.OrTest   Best Regards   David Bailey

Hi developers,   I have a requirement to display the ECN along with its associated ECR. I found the link types namely:   wt.change2.ChangeProcessLink wt.change2.AddressedBy2 wt.change2.ChangeReferenceLink  In Thingworx under "ptc-windchill-demo-thing" i'm using "Query" service for my use case as shown below for all the link types:   child and parent columns are emptychild and parent columns are empty   No rows are populatedNo rows are populatedNo rows are populatedNo rows are populated     I'm unable to get all the associated change objects. When i searched with  "wt.change2.ChangeProcessLink" type I'm not able to get the child and parent details without which the service will become irrelevant to my use case.   Thanks and Regards, Saran

Hello,I would like to show an Activity, which Auto Completes, in the Process table. Is it possible?When the Activity is set to 'AutoComplete after deadline', it does not show in the table.Is there a setting which can enable this?Thanks!V

Hi all,   We updated PSM 4.0 to 5.0 and now the Dynatrace Client cannot connect anymore on port 2021. When starting the Frontend Server there is no process listening on that specific port. With 4.0 there was a Java process listening and the connection was possible.  We tried also adjusting the memory settings for the frontend server in the .ini file.    Any ideas here? 

Hi all,   We recently updated Windchill to CPS26 and not it seems DTI has an issue while checking out Excel and PPT files. For Work it works fine. We are using Microsoft Office Professional plus 2016.   Did anyone have this issues until now?

Dear, Does any have Projectlink supplier collaboration User Guide for Windchill 10.2 or 11.x? If so Please share it. I do not find one in Windchill support site.

We face an irregular issue with only one user : in the local cache folder we should see all lid... and sid... files along with the subfolders per existing workspace. For some reason, one user frequently mentioned that all the saved work in any workspace other than the active workspace were lost. Afte a few occurences we found that overnight, the lid... and sid... files were still there but the actual subfolders who described the workspace content etc... were deleted. This operation left the CAD files that were still there useless however. After activating each workspace, the subfolders were re-created, but the link with the lid... files was not restored, which is infortunate but seems logic since no other system could have had has any information of the new files in that workspace. We could simulate this situation by manually deleting (or renaming) one of these folders. They are also created when activating the workspace and the locally modified or new files are no longer in the w

Hi there, I had heard before that data loading command (windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile) can be run on each method server for completely parallel by specifing target method server (or jvm?). And this way has good effect for reducing loading time.But I don't know specific way for that. Is there anyone know that way?Further information, my environment is not cluster, just multiple method servers on single app server. Load data is WTPart and WTPartUsageLink.

Hello.   I've got a question the support can't answer (despite of request escalation, no answer...), can somebody here help me ?   It seems that my connexion failed during saving a new attribute on EPDM doc type, it didn't appeared on the page so I created it a second time... But now I've got two attributes with the same name, and it generates an exception :   Support asked me to do some queries on the database, there is a duplicate entry in LWCIBAATTDEFINITION : - In LWCIBAAttDefinition table : NAME : Masse_kg IDA2A2 : 15391764 IDA3A5 : 49376 IDA3A7 : 15380685 CLASSNAMEKEYA7 : wt.iba.definition.UnitDefinition NAME : Masse_kg IDA2A2 : 15392262 IDA3A5 : 49376 IDA3A7 : 15380685 CLASSNAMEKEYA7 : wt.iba.definition.UnitDefinition - In LWCTypeDefinition table one entry wich IDA2A corresponds to the IDA3A5 from the other table : NAME : pri.robaut.DefaultEPMDocument IDA2A2 : 49376 Since then, no more answer from support. I tried to remove one of the entries from&nbs

Hi Windchill users, my question, is if it is possible to run a a *.vbs script or (VB.net application) or some other mechanism, to list in an excel file (I already have this kind of macro in *.xlsm file), but that also extract, the metadata (added by windchill)? I mean, which kind of Metadata are visible to windows system ?  i.e For cad document should be useful to see Document Status, Version, and iteration. 

We export the WTPart structure in Windchill via the Multilevel BOM Report. This provides us with an XML file which is used for various post-engineering tasks. For this reason we composed particular views of the Report to export the required attrbutes. In some cases I witnessed incorrect input by designers that resulted in double attribute values on WTParts. The most common mistake is an assembly and a file in Creo with the exact same filename. At check-in, both documents get the same number and are therefore associated to the same WTPart. I believe some modifications of the association type (owner, contributing content, ...) is also required for this. Our templates for both parts and assemblies have a number of designated model parameters, the same parameters apply to parts and assemblies (e.g. weight). To avoid this situation I applied the single-value constraint to those attributes. When I create a part directly in Windchill, the contraint is considered, I cannot add m

Good afternoon. Tell me please, did anyone try to make backup copies of Windchill by third-party tools? For example, Symantec backup-exec?

I get a popup and on starting the Windchill Workgroup Manager, “Actions Delete/Rename/Move Folder/File are not allowed in Windchill File System. Perform these actions in Windchill Server”.  On saving CAD files from CAD Application it fails with “The following objects failed to save : While saving D:\CACHE\PTC Places\Workspace\model1.prt: D:\CACHE\PTC Places\Workspace\model1.prt – File not found”.   Is the workgroup Manager error causing the CAD application error to save file? How can i resolve these errors?  Any help is appreciated.   Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010 CAD Application - NX Environment variable: PTC_WF_ROOT : D:\CACHE\.wfPTC_WFS_ROOT : D:\CACHE\.wfsPTC_WLD_ROOT : D:\CACHE\.wwgm      

I should probably start by mentioning that we do not use the Windchill "parts" the "grey gear parts"suppressed cad still shows in Windchill BOM. Can we configure so this doesn't happen?

Background:     OLD: Windchill PDM Essentials 10.2 M030 production server      New:                                        11.0 M020 test serverI have successfully installed Windchill 11.0 on a new VM, imported our SQL database from production to test using Microsoft SQL Management restore/replace function.

I have this java method that runs a query builder report but I want to set values for some of the properties.  How would I do that in java. Thanks

We launched Creo 3.0 M100 about 2 months ago, we have Windchill 10.1 M040.  While in Creo3, we receive the below offline error quite often, happens almost every day and is very sporadic.   We can access Windchill Server no problem in a standalone browser.  PTC says it is our network, our network staff says it is a PTC issue.  Just wondering if anyone has faced this issue.
