Windchill

When I designate an object (more specifically a feature or quilt) in Creo, how do I see it in Windchill, what will its relationship be to the CAD document, is anyone using this functionality? I am looking for a way to show that a part has published geometry from within Windchill.   Thanks

Hi everyone,Can download function in documents can be disable even if you are in "viewer" group? Because most of our customer has a confidential document that they dont want to be downloaded, or print.How to Disable Download Primary File menu?thanks!,Luar

Using Windchill 11 inside Creo.   Looking at the Commonspace view of a generic of a CAD Part part. Click Related Objects tab.  The Where Used section shows no places where the generic is used.  That is not right - I know the generic is assembled to dozens of models.   Created a user-defined tab where I added the Family Tree.  Clicked on the "i" to get the Commonspace information of one of the instances. Clicked on the Related Objects.  It gives me some where used, but I know it's not all of them.   I haven't cone through the exercise, but I bet if I walk through the entire family table, I would eventually find all of the where-used.  That is a lot of work, and I can't believe that's an intended behavior or a way to modify that behavior.   There's apparently a big difference in parent/child relationships between Creo and Windchill.  Working outside of a Windchill server, the instances don't exist as stand-alone files.  They're all t

What's the ideal approach to handle security label propagation from WTPart to WTDocument.   Currently, we are trying out an approach of using identical iba values. Example :  WTPart contains an IBA call controlNumber and WTDocument in a similar fashion contains an IBA called controlNumber. When a WTPart's security label changes it looks for all WTDocuments with that value and sets its security label to the new value. We're doing this by using an modify security label audit event listener. And continuing to iron out the functionality.   Is this the only approach or is there an OOTB approach for security label propagation that we have missed.    

Does anyone know a way that you are able to load indesign files into Windchill without losing all of the links to the pictures and labels etc?

Hey Developers, Is anyone here, using Windchill 11.0 Information Modeler?Here is the CD below, I am looking for. And yes, PTC has released it. http://support.ptc.com/cgi/support/apps/sft_upd_dsp/sft_upd_dsp_adv.pl?product=WNC PTC Windchill 11.0 Information Modeler MED-2101-CD-110 16-DEC-15 Thanks, Eddie

Hello all,   I have a part where changes were made changing the part from A.3 to A.4 and those changes are no longer needed at the time. I'm wondering if there is a way to check out A.3 then check in changing the part from A.3 to A.5. I would like to still keep A.4 incase we decide to revert back to that model.   Thanks!

Created a userpicker in a custom datautility and regiseterd it on a string attribute. Picker renders correctly in UI. On selecting user clicking finish windchill throws error for custom callback function saying that we cannot set value for null. Also mc.getRawValue() always returns null in the below code.//Get datavalue method of datautilty     public Object getDataValue(String component_id, Object object, ModelContext mc) throws WTException {    buildUserPickerConfig(component_id, mc);             Object localObject = null;             System.out.println(mc.getRawValue());             if (mc.getRawValue() != null)             {               loca

  Anyone know how to resolve this? V11, M020 (and M010). If a users selects objects in a search result then selects to create a new Promotion Request then the new Promotion Request first page requires the users to first select a Context. Normally, if a users selects New Promotion Request in a Folder or on the Info Page, the Promotion request is created in that same context.   The PR normaly looks like this when created from the Action on the object or a Folder.

Hi,   After configuring SSO on Windchill with shibboleth as Service provider, we are not able to search BOM in PDMLink from WPA. When we perform the BOM search from WPA, we get below error in UI.    Windchill PDMLink caused an unexpected error - White Spaces are required between publicID and systemID

In general, we ensure that appropriate users are notified of changes to various documents as follows: a)Put documents / drawingsof interest in certain folders. b) Set up subscriptions on events in those folders to various user Groups c) Manage which users are in which groups.This of course reqiures a lot of adminstration, but so far has been managable, and is far, far better than having zillions of individual subscriptions.For step (a) above, ensuring what folder various objects go into, we'd like to get a bit better at this by somehow using OIR's with branching. note: We use manual numbering for all documents / drawings, with prefixes that we can key on.Question: With manual numbering, is there a way to use the constraints in OIR's to branchthespecified folder (essentially a case statement) based on some part of the Number?thanks in advance

Hello all, We are using subscriptions on a folder for file creation and checkins. Subscriptions are working only if I create/checkin an object in the rootfolder. If I create the object in any subfolder, subscriptions are notworking. Do I need to create subscription on all the subfolders ? Thisseems very tedious if I am setting up same subscription on all of them. Iam wondering if I can setup the subscription recursively on all subfolders.I am wondering if anyone has written programmatic way of subscriptions?Thanks,Prathap <">http://goo.gl/LuT5>

Hello!When starting Windchill looking in the logs there are classpaths listed as in below example:2017-01-19 14:50:43,563 INFO  [main] wt.method.server.startup  - Class path =  /ptc/Windchill/codebase  /ptc/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/jviews-chart-all.jar  /ptc/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/archiveServerWeb.jar  /ptc/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/prowtWeb.jar...Lets say I have a new jar-file that I would like to add but I don't want to put it under any known folder (codebase, WEB-INF/lib etc...) how would I do then?Which file to modify? Reason is that I don't want to mix OOTB jars with added ones since time will make it difficult to know which ones are OOTB and which ones are not.Thanks for any assistance and best regards!/Peter

Hi,   I would like to benchmark network performance while using Windchill web application. Any suggestions here?   Regards,

How to skip or exclude versions from default versioning schemes in Windchill PDMLink? Below steps does not work: Edit wt.properties           wt.series.MulticharacterSeries.MilSpec.skipList=CIOQSXZ2       2. Restart Windchill       3. Revise WTDocument does not skip C   below is the OIR file of WTDocument <AttrValue id="MBA|versionInfo" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.vc.server.impl.VersionInfoGenerator"> <Arg>wt.series.HarvardSeries</Arg> </AttrValue>

Hello All, I have a workflow that reads usage table attribute called "Responsible"( see attachment ). There is expression inside workflow and it start activity according to attribute value that defined for each part in the uses table of assembly.     What i want in the code is to start relevant activities for each part based on their attribute values in uses table. If "Responsible" value is "A" then Activity A should start. If "Responsible" is "B" Activity B should start also in parallel and so on. In the below code, it is starting activity based on the last part's attribute value. It doesnt matter each part attribute values. ( I think it overrides result inside the for loop ). As you see in the attachment below code starts only "Activity E", not others. I expect start also "activity A and C as i defined attribute values for parts as A and C.     wt.part.WTPart part = null;part = (wt.part.WTPart)primaryBusinessObject; wt.fc.QueryResult qr2 = null; qr2 = wt.fc.P

Hi, How to reassign the whole process of an object to a user, programmatically?

Hello,   When we configure from installation Windchill 11.0 M030 with MSSQLSERVER. We get an error. We attached log file about the problem.     Thank you

Hi everyone,   I would like to get the WTPart or the Context in which the WTPart is while setting the option filters in Structure Manager. I have Platform Structures module installed and I can call a function in the conditional rules of an option pool. In the help I found this info, however I would want to pass some information to my custom function about the part on which this option filter is applied. Is there some helper service that I could use to get the current Part from which I'm initiating the option filter?   Thank you in advance, Tamás

I'm investigating the use of the WGM with Inventor.The Inventor files carry a number of custom parameters of which some have a parameter name that contains a blank space, e.g. 'Treatment process"Problem now is how to define a Windchill attribute (in version 10.2) so I can capture the value of this parameter.Any parameter that has a name which does not carry a special character and so complies to the rules of Windchill attribute definition can be captured easily (either implicitly or explicitly).

We are using Windchill 10.2 M030.I need to know how to retrieve the "promoted from state" for promotion targets/objects in a promotion request. I know how to query the promotion targets and get attribute values from them, but I have not been able to find where the "promoted from state" value is stored or how to retrieve it.For example, if an object is submitted for promotion from the "INWORK" state to the "RELEASED" state, I want to retrieve the "INWORK" state value.Here is the code I am using to get the promotion targets and some of the code for processing them:wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService p = new wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService();wt.fc.QueryResult pn_targets = (wt.fc.QueryResult) p.getPromotionTargets(pn);while (pn_targets.hasMoreElements()) {     Object myObject = pn_targets.nextElement();     typeName = wt.type.TypedUtilityServiceHelper.service.getE

Greetings, In Windchill help, there's a topic about Subscriptions Tables.  It infers you can customize the view of the Subscriptions Table, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.  I customize all kinds of tables but this one does not look as if it can be customized. What am I missing?http://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/whc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FSubscribeTableRef.html%23

I have an issue with Windchill Essentials 11.1 F00 that I am not finding much information on. When a user has an object in their workspace that is not the most current version they are not seeing an out of date icon. If they try to manipulate the object they are told that it is not the most current version.   Has anyone else run in to this or have any ideas on how to solve this issue?

We generally have our Windchill File Name equal the Number including the file extension for CAD files. Sometimes the file extension gets left off by users when being renamed (it probably gets left off on both fields but the File Name will add the file extension automatically). This can cause some minor name conflicts if drawings and parts/assemblies have the same base names (TEST.drw and TEST.prt but both objects cannot be TEST without the file extension). Is there a way to automatically adding the file extension on the Number like the File Name does or prevent users from leaving off the file extension on the Number? We're on Windchill 10.1 currently.

Hello,   My company would like to create a notification that will notify someone every 365 days to review that document. Is there a way to do this in a workflow or by creating a new workflow?
