Windchill

Hi, I am trying to compare the rows of a infotable. If the rows are identical, the result is a Boolean with false, if the values change in between, it returns true

We have a windchill account set up for our FTC team and are having some issues with the most current version of the part showing up on separate computers.  We created most of the design on a single computer before getting the windchill.  We managed to get the assembly and parts on the windchill initially.  Now when changes are made from a computer to the design and saved to windchill the other computers don't see it, only the computer that made the change or the new part.  The new version is there (like revision A.2), but only the computer that created or edited the file can open the latest version.  Even if we find the latest version in the workspace and it shows up in the preview window, when you select open it reverts to an older version.  We have tried several different approaches with no luck.  We can go in from a specific computer and manage to get a single part to update, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.  Some wa

Windchill Cache Recovery Tool - Version 2.06 Version 2.06 includes the following new features: Support for Creo 4.0 files. The "Recover All Iterations" option in the "Options" drop down of the menu bar is now checked by default. After selecting files in the Open dialog and clicking OK, the display is sorted as described in the User Guide. If you wish to manage duplicate files manually, uncheck this option. The location of the files you wish to recover is now stored in the registry. Subsequent runs of WC_FileRecovery will automatically default to that location. Browsing to a new location will update the registry entry. If that location no longer exists, WC_FileRecovery will default to the user’s homedrive and homepath. New file subtypes are supported: PART/ECAD_BOARD_PART PRT/HARNESS_PART ASSEMBLY/ECAD_ASM ASSEMBLY/HARNESS_MFG Recovered files are logged each time you initiate a recover operation. The log files are stored in the same location a

I've seen this error here on the website and looked at Knowledge Base articles about it, but they all seem to be pretty old.  It occurs when opening WGM 11.0-CPS11 for Inventor on Windows 7 & 10.  I just dismiss it but wouldAnyone seen this script error lately?  Any idea about how to get rid of it?

I have a material file stored in our Library that I cannot seem to find or edit. I need to change the Young's modulus value, do you know a way to do this?

Hello,   I had a few stumbles while setting up Windchill 11 M030 publishing on a test server. Specifically, I sent a couple of parts to the Publisher before I had the thumbnail worker online.  Error is "No Thumbnail Created by Server", "WARNING" Unable to generate server thumbnail".   Now those parts have a viewable, but no thumbnail.  I tried re-submitting them from the job monitor.  This results in a "Representation Already Exists: default", followed by "end job".   Is there a way to either completely regenerate both the rep and the thumbnail OR just generate the missing thumbnails?   Thanks for any advice.

I'm trying to digest the customer communications with the aim of figuring out how to get around this with the fewest problems.  I deal mostly with Windchill, Pro/Intralink and Creo. So far, I'm thinking that staying with the products released before January 2019, however the Customer Letter seems to indicate that they are removing the JDK downloads....? "The following products currently ship Java with the PTC product installer as well as ship updates to Java.Starting January 2019, you will need to obtain and install Java as a prerequisite for installing or re-installing these PTC products. For these products you will need to secure a support contract directly with Oracle for updates to Java, including security patches.-Arbortext Content Manager-Pro/INTRALINK-Creo Parametric, Creo Options Modeler, Creo Layout and Creo Direct-FlexPLM-Windchill based products and associated extensions"   I expect more technical info will be forthcoming.  "You will need to obtain and install

When I go to initiate workflow process on the ECR workflow on the first task (Submit Change Request) when I try to complete it a java.lang.NullPointerException error pops up. How do I fix this to allow me to get through the rest of the workflow?

Hello,    Someone at my company has gone in and modified the out of the box workflow templates instead of doing a save as. Now the ECR workflow specifically is messed up. Is there somewhere that I can get the out of the box workflow templates to import back into out Windchill database?

Hi, I am having an issue logging into Windchill. Every time I start creo and windchill my credentials are gone and I have to put them on again. Would you help me to resolve this problem? thank you Arek

i created an epm document through java api, and i want to assign a family table status to it, i want it to be a generic type. I used this " .setFamilyTableStatus() " method but its giving an error saying "Family Table Validations Failed".

Hello guys, I need your help to understand the difference between  Java API difference between two windchill Version 10.2 and 11.0.   As I have code (windchill 11.0)for the reading structure of epmdocument, I want to know is same will work with 10.2? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was successfully able to create a wtpart and epm document using java api. Now i want to know how to create a link between them.

Hi Developers,   I'm working on ThingWorx 8.0.1 with Navigate View 1.5.0. I was able to perform basic RESTOperations such as fetching a NONCE Token from a Service, Creating a part,....   I had to use the URI's that were exposed from windchill for these services. I'm a novice in REST services if there is any document or tutorials which give step by step procedure to create RESTful web services in Windchill side and use the same in Thingworx it would be helpful.   Thanks and Regards, Saran

Hi there, First of all, I am not quite sure if this is an Creo or an Windchilll issue.   After upgrading from Windchill 10.2 to 11.1 there is a little grey box within the preview of the part (embedded browser). It also does not seem to depend on the version of installed Creo, because this effect is visible from Creo 3 to Creo 5 (also tested on several machines).   The same page works perfect in Firefox, Chrome and even Internet Explorer.     Thanks in advance.  

I ran a custom updated scripts to add notes to parts. This left the WTPart is a checked out state, about 11K parts now are on my checked out objects table. Yes, I could have improved the script to check them in automatically but here we are.  How can I get them all checked in? You cannot do it from the checked out objects table, there is only undo-check out mass action.   Solution was to use a search results, querying on Parts checked out to me. From that table, there is a Edit multiple objects mass action. You can do them in batches from the popup UI and check them all in. 

Article - CS162651 is not helpful at all! screenshot attached to this article is different than the download version (http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/142899/en/6.3_Deployment_Sizing_Calculator_V1.7.xlsm).   Does anybody has the old spreadsheet vs this new one that I cannot figure it out. Thank you!!!

WHen running a report created using Query Builder it seems to take a long time to display the results.   When searching by "Reportable Item" attributes in WC11.0, I would like to know if I can change the order of the attributes and operators to run the report faster.  For example, If I search by cad part first, and other attributes later will the report run faster?  Vice versa?    Or is there a way to run the report as a fast index search?   Any other advice on how to get report results to search and display faster?
