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.

With Windchill 11.0 one can use Query Builder queries to further refine search results.  For example refine the search to look at results based upon related objects.   This zip file contains two queries from 11.0 M020   Search with Parts - additional query to find parts that are on a Change Notice at a given state Reference Designator - Find parts on a BOM with a given reference designator.  For example - find a part (eg Name Capacitor*) that has a reference designator C16

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

Deviation/Number is editable in rename action even after denying modify identify permission.Even if we apply Immutable constraint from OIR or Type & Attribute Manager it is applicable only on creation. We can restrict editing this on Edit action by making it read only for edit or by removing it from edit layout however we cannot control this behavior for Rename Action. Profiles neither allow hiding rename action.Also,  Rename interface is based on the framework CADX HTML template for which Customization is not supported.Please make number non-editable in rename action.

When troubleshooting of Windchill Workgroup Manager, PTC Technical Support would ask for logs generated by Windchill Workgroup Manager to investigate the integration issue between CAD applications and Windchill. The Windchill Workgroup Manager (WWGM) logging tool provides easy way to configure log collection setting and managing log sessions per issue scenario. The WWGM logging tool is available from Windchill 11.0 F000.In order to run the WWGM logger in UI mode, perform these steps:Important Note: The WWGM logging tool should be launched and log session should be started before Workgroup Manager is launched. And after operation is finished in the Workgroup Manager, the Workgroup Manager should be closed then the WWGM logging session Navigate to <Windchill Workgroup Manager Home Directory>/x86e_win64/obj and double-click on WGMLogger.exe to launch the application (Note: from 11.0 M030, the short cut for WWGM logging tool is available at "Windows" > Start > All Programs >

I am working on making a FRACAS input form in windchill 10.1 & wanted to know if there was a way I could get some of the fields to auto fill with a previous incident's data when that previous incident's identifier is entered into a "parent failure #:" field so that they wont need to re-enter all the data for a repeat failure. Thank you for your time.

Using Windchill, every window I open in sequence of a previous one has reduced font size, getting so small it becomes unworkable.Where can I find the setting to keep the font size the same? See screengrabs below.

Please help me in this. \\\\\\Thanks Roop

Looking at an ALM / PLM integration with Windchill. ALM we expect to integrate is supporting OSLC (Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration). From this point of view what is the best way to integrate with windchill in terms of architecture? (knowing that webservices are required for OSLC). I was thinking of the REST web services but unsure what windchill really supports for this? Thank you in Advance. Regards, Devidas

  Implement the PDMLink options, which enables to choose if unverified family table can be checked in or not. Currently we have to invest additional effort to create specific triggers / listeners, which can prevent check in unverified family tables. Options available in Creo:    Modelcheck Die config.pro option: verify_on_save_by_default=yes     are not sufficient. We need the option in PDMlink. Now in PDMlink 10.2 or 11.0 it's possible to check in the unverified family table.
