Hello,   when using the save as option, we would like to force a new number and a new filename with the new number. I found the options in the preference manager to inherit filename from number, but no way to force a new number.   Is it possible to force a new number? Or to disable the user choices "unchanged" for number and filename? See attached screenshots to clarify which options I mean.   Thank you in advance for your answers.   Best Chris        

Hi, Our company is making software which extends Windchill interoperability capabilities. We're setting up a new development server with WC 11.0 / SQL Server, and we're facing a very strange problem with WC properties.   First of all, we've to say that this WC server works. This is important to understand our problem. We can get the WC homepage and login with an admin account. The Windchill DS runs as expected, etc. We start WC through a Windchill shell with windchill start.   The problem is, even if this WC seems to run properly, when we call xconfmanager.bat -d <property name>, we see the given property has not been set. We compared with an other WC development server setup some weeks ago which doesn't show this problem, the properties are all well set.   And as this is an important topic to document our solution deployment, we're looking for some help to know what could have happened.   Thanks.

I think I know the answer but if I check in a part that has a merge feature or inheritance to another model, the default in Windchill does not create a BOM correct?  There would be a linkage between the two EPMDocuments (parts) but not a WTPart linkage. Just checking if there is a preference for this or changed in 11. Use case would be a casting model where you inherit features from casting to make finished model.  This should be represented as a BOM. I think my option is to create the BOM manually.

We think that PDM data can be shared externally as follows.1. VPN2. Reverse Proxy I have a question.1. Can I configure Reverse Proxy as one server?2. Can I share data externally through a network configuration without VPN or Reverse Proxy? (By way of allowing only specific IPs) If the second question is available, can you share it with me please?Please let us know which port should be added to the inbound rule and how to access only specific IP.   Thanks   WarmRegards, SeonHo

My company has a life cycle state of prototype and when an object is in that state we want the drawings that are being published to have a watermark of prototype. Right now I am able to have the watermark show up on the drawings when hey are published but it shows up on all life cycle states. Is there a way where the watermark only shows up on drawings that are in our Prototype life cycle state?

I want to know how I am able to compare two CAD document structures in Windchill 11.0. The only compare option I have is to compare the CAD document to the WT Part Structure or Compare two CAD Document properties.

Hello,   I am struggling with the default setting, which sets the CAD name equal to CAD filename. I use Windchill 11 M030 and Solidworks 2016 SP5.   In Organization>Utilities>Preference Management>Operation>Upload Operation>Upload>Naming Parameter I set the naming parameter for SolidWorks to the solidworks parameter "Description". But when I create new CAD documents, the name is still set equal to the filename.   Do I have to disable the "set name to filename" functionality somewhere?   Thank you in advance for any hints on how to solve this.   Best Chris

sDear All.    Could someone advise me how to create a relationship between a Boolean attribute and triggering an attribute constraint to be  changed to required.   I am currently setting up attributes in windchill 11.1 with cascading attributes    Thankyou in advanced Dave b

HOW TO ENABLE MODELCHECK GATEKEEPER IN WINDCHILL ?I found the below statement in ptc forum, but I am unable to find the location inside preference management. PTC Creo Modelcheck Validation—Specifies whether to perform PTC Creo Modelcheckvalidation at check in. The default is NO. Enables the PTC Creo Modelcheck Gatekeeper when set to YES.

I'm tying to add additional checks that will run before a user can complete the promotion request wizard.  These should validate that (a.) the user did not select themselves and (b.) at least one person has been selected for each of the promotion request roles.   I would prefer to stop the wizard from completing vs. trying to catch these problems after the workflow has started.  From what I'm reading, this seems to be possible by overriding the promotion request delegate.   There is a sample code snippet by @BhushanNehe here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/How-to-stop-a-User-selecting-himself-as-an-Approver-in-Promotion/m-p/144787/highlight/true#M17171   There is also help documentation here: http://support.ptc.com/help//windchill/wc111_hc/whc_en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center%2FWCCG_BusLogicCust_WorkflowAdmin_MultPartSelectWizard_Sect3.html%23   I'm guessing I need to create a Java file, compile it, and then register a servic

Does anyone has PDMLink connected to an ERP system to exchange informations?We would like to export the BOM structure directly into the ERP.Anyone using SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft AX?Thanks,

Hello,   we experience an unwanted behaviour in Windchill. When a new CAD document is created and saved, the workgroupmanager shows the CAD part with the same number in the filename and the number attribute. See first screenshot.   When we upload the document, the number is incremented by one. See second screenshot. How can we avoid this? It is very confusing for our users, that the filename and the Windchill number are not identical.   When we the check in the document, the WTpart is created with the same number as the CAD part, ergo the CAD filename number incremented by one.   The goal is to have the same number in the CAD part filename, in the EPM document number and in the WTpart number.   Thank you in advance for your comments.   Best Chris    

Hello, how to duplicate a managed baseline. I can not copy / paste the objects of a Managed Baseline to a new one because there are too many of them. message: The number of objects selected exceeds the maximum number of objects allowed on the clipboard. Please select less objects to add, or clear objects from the clipboard, and try again.

I have written a custom task to fetch WTGroup objects belonging to a particular PDMLinkProduct. Following is the code that I have used:     QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(WTGroup.class); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTGroup.class, "containerReference.key.classname", SearchCondition.EQUAL, product.getPersistInfo().getObjectIdentifier().getClassname().toString())); qs.appendAnd(); qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTGroup.class,"containerReference.key.id", SearchCondition.EQUAL, product.getPersistInfo().getObjectIdentifier().getId()), new int[] { 0 }); QueryResult qr = PersistenceHelper.manager.find(qs);     But I'm unable to return these fetched WTGroups in QueryResult using Return-Groups.   Does anyone know how to return these objects from the custom task?

Is there a concept of Precise BOM in Windchill like the one which we have in Teamcenter. Can the below scenario be maintained in Windchill   P1 - Rev A                                                 P2 - Rev A           C1  - Rev A                                          C1 - Rev B           C2  - Rev A                                          C2 - Rev B    

We are testing an installation of AutoCAD WGM - trying to work out the bugs before release.  We are to the point now where we can automatically create a WTPart structure upon checkin, GREAT!!! - BUT we are noticing that all BOM items are creating owner or image links back to the AutoCAD CAD Part.  I would assume this should work similar to Creo where there is only one owner link and all BOM items are not linked to the CAD data? Is there a setting someplace to fix this?   See attached.

Hello, I am new to thingworx navigate.  I have written a service where it pulls data based on part number. While executing the service.

Dear all,   For anybody out there who has experience integrating Windchill PDMLink with SAP Ariba (or any other Procurement/Sourcing Management Solutions) would you be so kind to reach out to me and provide me some details about:- Customer project- How the integration has been realized (which exact integration tools, etc.) - If it concerns unidirectional or bidirectional integration - What exact information the integration interfaces   Many thanks for your help in advance.   Guido Banning.  

Is Oracle 12c release 1 (12.1.0.2 ) supported to windchill 11.1 F000 .In documents its mentioned supported but in help center its mentioning 12 c release 2 .Please guide.

Hey all,   New Windchill user here. I have been tasked on a project which requires a lot of documents stored in Windchill to be uploaded to a separate database. Many of these are simply drawing files but in the future it would be ideal if we could somehow get screenshots of Creo View data as well.   I do not have access to the base Windchill installation that I am working on, so I am limited in the scope of what I can accomplish. I am looking into GUI automation to brute-force automate the task of getting drawings out of Windchill, but I am so new that I wanted to ask here if there are any native Windchill tools that may be able to assist this process.   Many thanks!

It posible to create WTDocument from Template from same Project?

Hi,I created some 3-4 users in windchill by using following procedure:Windchill Administrator Login> Site> Utilities.Principal Administrator> New User> Created User Profile> Click OK.But when I tried to add the users in Product teams, those users were not available in search list. Although these entities are present in Windchill Directory Server Control Pannel.So I deleted those users & once again tried to create them, but now I am getti an error "Username is not Unique".I am unable to find the cause of both 1) Why users were not available in search list? 2) Why user is not getiing created again?

I'm trying to get BOM import to work, but no luck. I'm using WGM 11.0 M030 and Altium 17.1.9.    To summarize, I get an error message "Can not keep revisions of this part and its associated CAD Document, 0000094075, to be the same. The part and CAD Document are from different revision schemes"   Below are the steps I've used, trying to get the BOM to import. Thanks for any suggestions! Chris   First off, the WGM menu pick for NEW ECAD DESIGN is not working for me. According to the PTC help doc, I should see a "NEW ECAD DESIGN" dialog box, with fields of Authoring Application, Number, Name, Description, Location, Revision. Instead, I just get a screen that looks like it might be something our IT department made with Product, Type, CAGE Code. Not sure why that is.   So instead, I have tried using the button NEW CAD DOCUMENT (on the button bar of my Workspace in WGM). So on that I see "Context, CAGE Code, Authoring Application, Category, Type, Template Name". I ca

Hi,   I'm using Windchill in our environment. Currently testing PSM 6.0 to monitor environment. Things are working as expected so far though I still need to learn more on administration of PSM. Question is how can I monitor database host of Windchill?   Since I installed PSM agents in Windchill application server, the agents are also monitoring properties of host like CPU, Memory, etc. I am able to add database connection in PSM and thus monitor transactions, but how can I monitor host properties of database server as well?   Thank you,

good morning, i have a little trouble... i open a representation from Windchill with Creo View, then i see that one file is not published, so i try to create a default representation by clicking on the preview window of windchill but, at this point, another window pops up (closing the opened file in Creo View) with only a message SENT TO PUBLISHER. and its annoying... anyone of you has the same problem? thanks
