Windchill

Hi,   does windchill check if a client uses a valid Creo license?   br

Hi Experts     I have installed WC in my laptop (act as WC server/client/SQL DB server) for demo & test purposes.   I have used it for few months now and so it is currently with many CAD/nonCAD files, preference settings, products, my own query builder reports (no programming)..etc.,   Now I want to switch to a new clean SQL DB. Is this possible. Then I can same way switch back to current DB if anything to be referred.   I am using WC 11 M20 CPS12   Kindly let me know the outline of steps (if possible).    Thank you, Ravi  

We have always had a question about why the Windchill browser tables have a slow fill after scrolling up or down. It is the same lag in commonspace or local workspace, online or offline.  If you scroll a couple of pages at a time you see a blank table and ...  wait for it ... the table fills and you can see where you are.  If you haven't scrolled enough you have to blindly scroll again. Is this normal? (view in My Videos)

Hi,   Does anyone have a quick trick for hiding the PDM/PJL Interoperability menus in a single Project?   I'd like to remove all these items to simplify a project that is only used for document management. Removing Send to PDM, Convert to Share, Convert to PDM Checkout, Undo PDM Checkout, Resolve Identity Conflict, Update Project and Remove Share will make this menu much less intimidating for casual users.    

I get windows.dll load error everytime I run PSI with CPS03. I have installed JRE for both 32 and 64 bit. Any inputs would help !

Since upgrading from 9.1M030 to 9.1M062 we now see CAD drawings assoicated to WTParts via a link type called "calculated" when previously it was the passive link type "content"I found a little bit of information on the PTC site about this but it does not explain the reason for the changehttps://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS11410https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS21363Can anybody shed any light on this. I presume this is simply to distinguish between content links created manually/deliberately and those created automatically by the system resulting from the owner link between the 3D model used on the drawing and a WTPart.I need to decide whether or not to convert them to "content" or leave them as "calculated". Are there any implications to doing one or the other that I should know about?RegardsDarren

In the case of visualization, changes are not made to subcomponents.For example, all CAD data published on the first server has version A.1, and the assembly visualizes the subcomponents of A.1.After modifying and verifying some of the following subcomponents, each component has A.2, but the assembly still displays A.1 and does not display the latest appearance of the modified components.You must also check in the assembly again to see the latest appearance.   Do I have to check in every time a subcomponent changes to keep all assemblies in which the component is used up to date?   Is there another good suggestion?   thanks

When the product and library are created, the default policy is applied.I would like to predefine the Dafault policy for the life cycle I define.What should I do? Help thank

In the case of the promotion process, it could be changed in preference management.Where can I change to reconfigure the processes associated with a change request?Do I have to manually modify the default change request process?Or can you specify other workflows like the promotion process?   Please help me. Thank you.

Creo 4 M030 and Windchill 11 M030 - All our 4k laptops and workstations with 4k monitors have severe graphics glitch's using Chrome as the embedded browser and the search window in the upper right does not show until we drop resolution way down.   So I switched back to IE and the glitches stop but the search window still does not appear until I drop resolution. which is not an acceptable solution.   Each have various Nvidia cards, all 1-3 years old, all behave the same. I tried the most recent drivers.   high_dpi_enabled is already defaulted to yes...so setting this does not change anything.   Zooming in and out (within the embedded browser) makes the search window flash and disappear.   Windows scaling has no effect.   Any other ideas?  

X-20 has a great new Workflow Process Administration Utility that simplifies the job of monitoring workflows in Windchill.In the past administrators were not able to easily find or fix workflows that had stalled or experienced a fault. In some cases it even required knowledge of queues to figure things out. In Release X-20 (Release 10.0) it's now possible for most business owners to find all the workflow process in their area and inspect their health in one simple step. There is no need to have special knowledge or visit each project in succession. And, for site and organization administrators there is a way to find all workflow processes across the entire Windchill System in a single step.I've attached a single screen shot from our demonstration server to show the health status of workflow processes. We intentionally created a number of workflows and messed-them up a bit to show how we can event diagnose warning and error conditions. The health status column shows which processes need

Hi,I'm trying to learn UI customization and trying to create a custom Action as well as a Wizard. I found a TPI 150612 which talks about creation of a New Tab, however it's not much of a use. Have any one tried that? Please share on how to do that.I'm presently working on Windchill 10 and have a basic understanding of JCA architecture and actions.xml, actionmodels.xml and RBInfo rendering.Please provide an example on how to add an action which subsequently triggers a wizard and how to create a custom wizard for an OOTB functionality.Windchill Customizer guide is not much of a help here.Thanks,Chris

Hello all,        I am beginner in Windchill, I want to know about Windchill Workflow? Why we use workflow? When we use that? Could anyone help me in this?    Thank You Sumit Patil  

Hello friends,   I am setting my Distribution as it is working fine for me currently with Windchill 11 but it is not sending inflammations of Alternate parts along with the main part to my PLM connector. While setting Distribution target information manually from 'Manage Distribution' from Site->Utilities, i am getting this error on clicking the 'Yes'.   Screen shot of an error has been attached with this discussion. Kindly help me to set up the parameters here so that i can work in it.   Regards, Sunil Chauhan

Hi every body, I am new to the PLM/ Windchill field and I am having a problem when I follow some of the courses. I want to generate occurrences without having to fill in the Reference Designator.  When I do that, my occurrences don't update. Is that normal? Regards,  

I would like to know how to expose a report so that users have the option of reloading (back to input screen). I would like the users to have the option that looks like this:  

I have a requirement to consume/Read/Retrieve the Engineering Images stored in the WindChill Data Store.I have some to do some basic CRUD operations through a Asp.net Core WebApi or MVC application.   Is there any API's for  for reading the engineering drawing images from the Windchill data store.   It would be great if I can get some samples in Asp.net MVC or Web-API for my requirement

All, Are you using this functionality in Windchill, if so what are your results?   Using “Open filtered CAD document structure in Creo View” shown in the image below for unpublished files, opens incorrect assembly structure. It tries to open the Creo Views files for the parts that it did publish and assembles them using the default coordinate system (or something like that) which is definitely not how they are assembled in Creo.   This create an incorrect viewable that people could accidently start using to create media, redlines, assembly instructions, etc.…… I am suggesting we investigate the how to turn off these links.   We are not using Positioning Assemblies yet.  

Hi, I am a beginner.   If there are objects checked out during the promotion process, the process will generate an error.So I want to add an expression that checks to see if the object that initiates the promotion process is checked out.Tell us which api, class i should use   Also, I would like to add code to be automatically revised when I make a change request.The element that will be automatically revised is the object associated with the change request.   I really need to your help.Help me please Thank you.   from ChaSeonHo

We are looking to implement automatic post publishing of additional files (PDF of a DRW and STP of the PRT) at release to a wtDocument (or a subtype).   Are anyone of you doing so and setting the state of the document automatically?  we have "unknown-source" set so that when a promotion request is approved, or a change notice is approved, or the CAII does a "Set State" that it kicks off republishing and then post-publishing.   The issue we are running into now is that if a regular user submits the promotion request, post publishing fails because it uses the submitter of the promotion request to authorize the post publishing.  Since regular users shouldn't have create, modify, modify content on released documents, that user doesn't have the permission.   Has anyone ran into this / got around it?

Hello Everyone,We have purchased a handful of the Altium Workgroup Managers.  We are currently running Windchill 10.2 M020 with latest CPS.  I have been unsuccessful at bringing anything from Altium into a workspace or connecting it to a new Ecad design.  PTC documentation is very poor if you ask me on how all this is suppose to work.  I assumed this WGM would function just like the AutoCAD or Solidworks WGM.  If anyone has any home made training material they would be willing to share so I can start to see how this thing works that would be great.  The version of Altium I am working with is 14 but I have been told version 16 works but is not officially supported. 

Hi Everyone,   Good Morning.   I know there is one utility which will help us to get all soft attributes attached with it for a given soft type.   Can you please help me in getting the URL for the same?   Thanks in advance.   Best Regards, John

Automatically revise (or allow with collection)published content documents when source CAD Document is revised

The 'importable' spreadsheet contains all attributes that have ever been assigned to the parts in the results list, regardless of whether the attribute is now active.  This can be confusing for users who like to utilize the importable spreadsheet functionality for data cleanup.  I would like to find a way to get a list of only the classification attributes currently assigned to the current node which is associated to the part(s) in question.   Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?    i.e. for part X, which is classified as Y, I want to see all values for attributes that are currently assigned to node Y and not see any values that may have previously been populated but are no longer a part of the attribute set for node Y.

Hello, does anybody know where to find information about type of events (like "WorkInProgressServiceEvent") and the related events (like "WorkInProgressServiceEvent/PRE_CHECKIN").   Is there a list of them or where can I found some information about it.   Regards Felix
