Hello,Have anybody using out of the box View Part structure app? The tree widget in Thingworx removes the duplicate part numbers. That really becomes data integrity issue. We only see one occurrence of the M4X4_SHSS.PRT in Thingworx Navigate . How have you handle this? Thanks,Preeti

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Using PersistableAdapter to get IBA values of a cascading attribute, the obj.get("attribute_internal_name") for the cascading attributes specifically returns the internal names of the underlying global enumeration item instead of the display name. Description: I have a WTPart subtype that has several cascading attributes.      Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to get the display value of the enumerated value that is used to set up the cascading attribute? PersistableAdapter, when used to get the original value ("Reason for Classification" in my case) returns the enumerated value list internal value instead of the display value.    Setup:  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We have a customized Workflow that has a Date as variable (actually, I would prefer a date like LocalDate for the user, but Windchill is still proposing the java.date.Date). I would like that a user can set the date during a User Task.Description: The variable is shown a a text, without any format hint for the user, and the conversion to Timestamp depends on the timezone of the user (if the String is not completely filled) ...How could we provide a date picker as input instead of a input text ? 

My company using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.14We are planning to implement SSO enabled login by replacing prompt of asking login credentials. If anyone has suggestion or helpful documentation, kindly share here.Thanks in advance!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: The OOTB Windchill functionality appears to only allow one part instance allocation to each part included in the structure of a parent part Instance. For example, it appears that if I wished to associate 100 different instances of a child part within the structure of a parent part instance, I would first have to specify that the quantity of the child part is 100 before then allocating a unique part instance to each of the 100 rows. This could end up being quite time consuming.Description: I am unable to find a way of achieving the same objective in a more efficient manner. For example, it would be nice if it was possible to only include one row under the parent part instance which communicates the details of the child part. Using my example above, I could use this single row to specify a quantity of 100 before then using the "Allocate Existing Part Instance" wizard to multi-select the 100 child part instances I would like to associate with the row

I'm looking for some insight into how companies are handling temporary engineering deviations on released parts/drawings in PDMLink. Does PDMLink have any native capability for handling these situations, or is it up to each company to figure out how to handle this by using a lifecycle state or some other means?Here's an example of an engineering deviation -- a screw is out of stock, so a substitute screw is allowed for production but it has a different part number than what is shown on the drawing. In this case, the drawing needs to be temporarily modified but there's no change request involved. Once the screw is back in stock, the drawing needs to be reverted back to the original.Any insight you are willing to share is much appreciated!Brian GearyJava ArchitectInformation Technologyhermanmiller.com616 654 8993 OFFICE616 796 5257 MOBILEHermanMiller

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am trying to include information within the context of a part instance that tells users where the part instances are allocated. But, I only want to show the parent part instances which the child is allocated to which are at a state of "Released". For example, I have part instance A which is a child of part instance B. Part instance B is at a state of "Released" at revision C. When I create a new revision of part instance B, the first iteration of revision D includes part instance A as a child within its structure. I can then remove part instance A from the structure of part instance B, revision D before setting the state of part instance B, revision D to "Released". If I then navigate to part instance A and look under the "Allocations" tab, part instance A is still said to be allocated to revision D of part instance B, despite part instance A not featuring in the structure of the released iteration of revision D of part instance B.Description: I

What is the problem?If a dynamic Document (like Illustration Source or Illustration Output) – see object Icons …  … wanted to be viewed directly from Windchill, the File can not be opened by …ACTIONS -> Open in -> Open in Creo View .. even, the file itself is from Type *.PVZ 3.

If yes, please describe it.The alternatives are annoying and inefficient (regarding Storage and way to open)Alternative 1:Download the file and open it from Disk with Creo View        Inefficient and takes more time to get itAlternative 2Publish the PVZ towards a 2nd Content PVZ        Inefficient use of resources (e.g. Workers and licenses)     &

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.7Is is possible to have a Deliverable with multiple linked Plan Activities, in a Product container, have its % Complete automatically updated as the completion of activities is updated?It seems like you can only have the Deliverable % Complete auto-update if you have only one linked Activity and the Plan has the " Link deliverables with project activities" checked when you create the Plan, but then you can only link one activity. Here's an example of my use-case:I have a WBS structure organized by product function. Each function may have a "Release Drawings" activity, for example. I'd like to create a deliverable that consolidates all "Release Drawings" activities and have it's % Complete reflect the % Complete of all linked activities.

We are upgrading from Windchill 12.0 to Windchill 13.0 on the test server, and I see the license count on the Production server has doubled compared to the previous license count once done with the Test upgrade. We are using local LDAP and not enterprise LDAP is that the issue or any other reason?

We need access control based on "View" e.g. Manufacturing view should be accessible only to a role "Manufacturing engineer" Does Windchill 10.1 supports it ? If not, is it included in Windchill product roadmap in future ?We have different Manufacturing Plants, for these we need to create different Manufacting views for released eBOM.In order to control access for Design and Manufacturing views we are creating different roles for Design engineer and Manufacturing Engineer.Can we have access coontrols based on the view of the BOM?

Hi Folks,I am new to the Thingworx Navigate and need to customize the Part Structure Tab of 'View Part Structure' Mashup. Currently the Part Structure Table represents Number, Name and State fields.
