Windchill

I have done this before, but I can't remember what I did.One of our draftsman has a drawing checked out. He wants to get it Released, but they can't because he hasn't checked it back in. Trouble is he can't find which Workspace it's in. I watched him search for it, and he only has about 5 workspaces available to him. None of them have the drawing in it. When I search for it, I can see that it's definitely checked out to him.How can I find what Workspace it's in? I have Orgadmin privileges. Like I say, I have done this before, but only once, about a year ago. We have 10.2.

We started using Windchill, Since 2012 from there Data's in Windchill are scattered and no proper life cycle states where followed.So we decided to cleanup the unused objects from Windchill. We purged to cleanup the data created from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 with below criteria's in manage queries.CriteriaObject Type : EPM DocumentVersion at Maturity : Design ReleasedVersion at Maturity : Preliminary ReleasedIteration (All but last) : 2Created : 01-01-2012 to 31-12-2012Modified : 01-01-2012 to 31-12-2012Created Purge Job for the above query criteria and previewed the same before submitting the purge job.For Example: The preview shows with result 2300 objects eligible for purge which includes family table (Instance and Generic) as well. But we were able to purge 20% from the eligible object rest all are family table objects.Indent:> Data growth per year 2TB> Reduce the data growth by purging the unused data's > Reduce the drive sizeIs there any way to purge the family

Customers create lots of document during CAPA process. They like to add those documents along with the task they receive during CAPA workflow.Also folder view for those documents added for a specific CAPA.

I have recently run into a situation where an later version on an CAD document (Pro/e assembly) was inadvertently overwritten by an older version of that same document. After much investigation I was able to determine that the default workspace update functionality doesn't actually replace the local file contents during an update, it only updates the metadata to make it look like you have the latest version. For those who would like a detailed explanation of the tests I performed, and the behavior experienced, I have listed it all in detail below. For those want to get right to the question, here it is. Is there a way to configure either Windchill or Pro/e so that a "File", "Update" command from Pro/e functions the same way the workspace "File", "Update" command does from the workspace when the site preference "Update Overwrite Local Content" is set to "Yes"?Tom UminnEngineering Systems Analysttrans-matic Mfg.616-820-2499-<">mailto:->Test Results - All from the local workspace

Is there a workaround that gives permission to a user to change the filename of a CAD Document, without also allowing change of number?The permission group MODIFY IDENTITY seems to tie these two things together.

Anyone know why this is.I have set Org and Site preference for Affected End Items Display to No.If a users creates a CR in a Folder or from an item in a folder then the CR does not contain section 2 "Affected End Items Display". If a users creates a CR from a Search result (Actions) then the CR does have Affected End Items Display.As a side note, the folder actions does not include items they can not compete (we do not allow users to create a CN or Problem Reports) but on the Search actions the action is listed to create a Change Notice or a Problem Report.Thanks.

We have Revision Series loaded in system with some legacy=true value, so that those revisions can be imported for legacy data, i.e. I,O,Q,S,X,Z. At the same time we have added Revision attribute and enabled RevisionPicker in New Part Creation Form, so that user can enter required revision manually . Also in preference settings we have set this preference Allow Override On Revise = yes so that user can give required revision while revise, e.g. bumping up revision skipping next available be default. Due to these settings, system is allowing to create new parts with Revision which are defined as legacy=true. But we dont want system to allow to create parts with these values. Any suggestions how can we restrict legacy revisions for new parts.

Does anyone have examples of Related Object report templates to be used fro related object search in WC 11?

Hello all,I'm having a workflow issue and hope someone can help. We have a process whose workflow requires approvals. Each approvers is given 2 options (votes), Complete or Rework. If all approvers vote "Complete", the workflow moves along to the next activity (coordinator approve and release), as expected. However, if any one approvers votes "Rework", the process assigns a Rework task (expected) but also moves forward to the next activity. This causes an issue for the person assigned the Rework task as they can't update or edit the object because it is undergoing a review process. (See attachment for error message) This also means you can't change the state even from an admin account either for the same reason. Any ideas as to what is happening?Thanks in advance for any suggestions and / or ideas.David
