Windchill

If I want to give an external company and its users temporary access to our Windchill data (5-6 months) how would i go about doing that.  Can I create a schedule to deactivate them?  I'd like to avoid having to put an item in my calendar and make it more automatic.

We have numerous AutoCAD schematics of both piping and electrical. Our symbols our the government standards. We are trying to change to Creo Schematics, but have many drawings in AutoCAD that can change on a daily basis. Can you insert existing AutoCAD schematics with symbols into Creo Schematics with any trouble?

I am trying to export files that were non native , that is a visio drawing .vsd, and a Microsoft Word document .docx. These were imported ok into my Windchill PDM Link.10.2 workspace as dynamic documents, but I cannot export them. I get the error shown in the topic title.Has anyone encountered this and have a workaround?Thanks

Hi,Wondering about the preference available at site level, in the workspace section, called "Out of Date Check":I set it to "yes" so that users would be notified about out-of-date objects, as the following screenshot teases:https://thingworx.ptc.com/apps/solution_preview/solution/lang/presolution?lang=en&n=CS47173(Which shows a clock icon at the top of the table near the "Pick an action" drop down)But the preference doesn't seem to have any effect for me and I haven't been able to see this aforementioned out-of-date icon.This is what I tried:Using Creo 2, connected to Windchill 10.2 using the internal Mozilla browser.Added a revision 0.1 model to my workspace.Another user checked out this model, modified it and checked back in; Commonspace now is at 0.2.My workspace shows no notification, even after I wait 5 minutes, nothing happens; I try to refresh the page -nothing...does anyone know if this functionality could be working for us ? We use Windchill 10.2 and Creo 2.0.Maybe I'm not

Hello,I am working with our IT team to plan a windchill implementation. I have been trying to research information regarding architecture strategies for implementing development and test environments along-side a production environment of Windcill. Coming up short, I have some questions regarding best practices.  Any advice, or links to documentation, would be appreciated. 1) With SQL as the database server, should 1 SQL instance with a DB for each environment be used? Or should there be a separate instance of SQL for each environment?2) Use VM for the dev/test environments on the production application server? OR use a separate application server for each instance of Windchill?Thanks in advance for any support!

Just curious if anyone has had success running the “LCReassignUtility” from the command line.When I run it, it returns 0 affected objects for wt.epm.EPMDocument and only 11 for com.tm.DefaultEPMDocument (CAD Docs). I should be getting around half a million.I've double checked my OID's and my life cycle name. Any ideas?This is on 10.2 M020.Thanks.Tom U.

  We imported non-PTC files into a workspace and checked them into WindChill. We can check-out the file. How do we load the files into the native application and save back to the workspace so that a check-in action to WindChill would index the file version?

We have created a new Product and now management has decides they want to rename it.Is there anyway to do this? I know it cannot be done from within Windchill.Where in the Oracle DB is the product name stored and is it possible to do an update to the table entry?Windchill 10.0 m040

I need a report where i can compare Ebom and Mbom revisions.

Has anybody any suggestions as to what object to use within a Change Request to gain impact inputs by multiple functions who may be affected by the change before final approval of the CR is granted?E.g. When when Function A raises a CR, it is decided that Function B and C will be impacted, and will need to provide an input to the CR before it is granted approval at the CRB stage.I want to give the Change Admin the ability to send out an object or action to these Functions to enter their inputs, and receive notification once complete, so they can schedule CRB. And I would like these inputs to be non-visible to the other functions, but visible to the Change Admin and other admin users.I have looked at using an action item, but this is non-subtypeable,and not sure if each one can be access controlled to the specific group of users. Would the Change Analysis or Change Proposal object be able to fulfill this need, or are these objects only applicable in earlier versions of Windchill?Another

Need help here.We are currently using Windchill PDMLink v10.2 M030-CPS21 and have encountered an issue that appears to be happening more and more often.During creation of a Change Request and performing Steps 1-3 in the Creation wizard, the Finish button does not activate. The only recourse by the user is to Cancel the CR wizard and start over. This happens about 20% of the time, but seems to be coming more prevalent. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon?We are currently running Java 8 update 45Thanks,-William

I have to Create a role and set accesses policy as they can only have access to view and take print of WTObject (WTDocument, EPMDocument)

Is there a way to switch to different roles while logged in windchill?I am a Super User and for testing purpose as normal user, can I change roles instead of changing username itself?

Hi all,     An Error "Require Information Modeler to Compile" when trying to compile classes with Annotation using Windchill shell and/or IDE.what I need to do.

As a user, the actions in the Windchill UI should have a tool tip message coming from the action validator class. The tool tip message can be used to communicate to the user why a particular action is disabled. Lot of time a user is not clear why a particular action is not enabled which may be because of multiple conditions being checked in the validator class.
