How to add Ant to eclipse in windchill.where can i find pet and load point in windchill.In customization guide i found a command > "ant -f bin/tools.xml eclipse_project.help". how to use this command.Can anyone please share the solution.

We are starting to load larger Creo models and assemblies into PDMLink, and were wondering what most do or best practices when it comes to publishing. We are looking to move the publishing to after hours, but a problem we are seeing are the representations being created. A few of the models are rapidly changing(iterations over 100), and each time they are checked out/in, the entire model is published and not just the few changes. We get stacked publishing jobs that take a couple of hours each and the representations are filling up the file vaults. Just wondering if there are properties we can set cut down on the representations being produced and maybe speeding up the publish jobs. Many thanks for any info!

I am installing Windchill11.0. and all of the packages are latest version from PTC software download web site. when  attempting to copy service pack to the staging folder, it says "Invalid CD selected. Please select another CD". And all of the others copy correctly. the service pack I download is “PTC Windchill 11.0 Service Pack - Critical Patch Sets Bundles M020 =>> MED-61006-CD-110_M020_M020-CPS04-Bundle.”  any ideas? 

We would like to configure Windchill to block creo files that have model check errors.Web suggests that the settings need to be changed in the Type and Attribute Management utility at Site level.Can this be done at Product level?

Please help me understand why my Creo drawings are not appearing the same as my drawing representation in Creo View. I have multiple drawings of parts and assemblies that are experiencing this issue. Here are the descriptions of the Creo View versions that are messed up: The first has removed all of the dimensions. The second and third, which are assemblies, have added rogue BOM balloons. In one drawing, the BOM balloon is linked to an item, but does not appear on the Creo side. In the other, the balloon appears to be unrelated to anything and has a "..." inside. The fourth drawing has removed dimensions and even hole features from the creo part. I don't think that this is a layer issue or an issue even within Creo, but the rogue balloon linked to an item makes me suspicious. I actually think that it is a representations/annotations issue in Windchill. From the drawing information window, I found Representations/Annotations under the content tab. In this window there is a default repre

Hi all, I have a bit of a quandary.For a brief moment, I was able to host an installation of Creo Parametric on a virtual server, open Creo on my workstation, and connect it to another separate server that was hosting Windchill. Now when I launch Creo Parametric and click on the server manager, Creo throws an error: "The server is not supported." Does anyone have any experience with an issue like this?

We can surely do Save As of Part and CAD document. When I try doing a Save As on pdf document, I get ' Error: Invalid object type for Save As'. Could anyone please tell me if there is a preference to allow Save As on Non-CAD documents.

All of our servers are moving to the cloud (Amazon web services - AWS).  We currently publish SolidWorks using a server configured as Win 7 - works perfectly.There seem to be some restrictions on configuring an AWS WV host with a workstation OS.  The WGM installer simply won't start on a server OS.  We've asked for an AWS host with Win 7 (or 8.1 is listed as being supported) with no luck from IT so far.Question: For everyone who currently publishes SolidWorks data, how are you managing the CAD Worker for SolidWorks?

Community,Does anyone know if there is a way to block search returns by state or other criteria but still allow a user to navigate and look/download the objects if needed?  We are in the middle of the tier 4 redesign and at some point would like to not have any tier 3 info return when a user (certain users only - maybe by role) search for something.

Hello everyone. I have an OOTB requirement of providing one of our client a custom action, where in while I perform a particular action in quick links the navigator should be disabled i.e it should not expand even if I try to expand. Is it possible to achieve this?

Just saw this on the daily email update and found it strange:https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?source=subscription&n=CS137027Has anyone else tested this behavior?  Any idea why deny not working would be considered "working to spec."?
