Windchill

So if someone is going to modify a model that's in Windchill you have two general options:You can check it out to your Workspace, modify it, then check it back in.You can save the model to disk, modify it on disk outside of Windchill, import it back into your Workspace, and finally check it in.The first option is what I would hope is done the vast majority of the time.  But I'd like to be able to check for this.  Is there a way you can tell?Thanks.

I will be upgrading servers in the near future.  All we’re doing is a physical to virtual conversion, so the hardware is being upgraded, nothing on the software side changes. The server’s hostname and IP address remains the same as well.  My IT tech says the client machines will not know the difference but my CAD support(reseller) says I will need a re-host of Windchill at a cost of $4000.Any thoughts?

Hello,I knew that we can add many new attributes to send to ERP system using ESI Integration (Distribution Target). Is it possible to send stream data (for eg: PDF file) using ESI integration?

After a successful patch of CPS22 from CPS2. I received emails saying that I had several participants that were disconnected from LDAP. I have read the article on how to search for disconnected participants and either delete them if they are no longer used or add them back into LDAP, but my question is do I need them?I don't recognize these License users, can anyone provide some insight please?Here is the list.PTC Author LicensePTC Bom Transformation LicensePTC Contributor LicensePTC EBOM Management LicensePTC Ip protection licensePTC Manufacturing LicensePTC Mechanical Design I LicensePTC Mechanical Design II LicensePTC Project Management LicensePTC QUality License

Currently, where used tab only show the latest revisions of the parents.If a part was deleted from a parent, when I go to the where used tab, this parent doesn't appear, therefore I cannot find where belonged this component.I ask for the ability to show the iterations of parents where was used the part.

We have configured JMX alerts for queue status, file server status. But we need alerts with email subject having effected queue name, file server name. Similarly for alerts related to replica with site name .Please find the attachment”

Customer is frequently upload large size file along with documents created in Windchill, some of them may lager than 1G, and they are asking if windchill consider to support resume a file upload if one encounter failure, network shortage for example, in the future?

Can someone please help me find the Windchill version ID, I was trying to apply this solution https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS244368The solution mentions : Note: To get the Current ID, refer to the article CS20491 for more details but this article is offline.

We are in the process of rolling out wtpart centric PLM. To do that we are mapping CAD Documents to wtParts and also the Dynamic Document (Arbortext) Assembly Instructions.The problem is that the Assembly Instructions can revise without revising the wtpart and or CAD Document. When that happens the Content relationship from the wtpart to the Dynamic Document is broken.The workaround is to iterate the wtPart and restructure the Part to the Dynamic Document. This is world be inefficient.Wondering if anyone has experience publishing the content from Arbortet dynamic document as the primary file of a wtDocument?The reason is to use the Reference Document link to the wtPart that would enable the link between the wtPart and wtDocument regardless of Version of each.

I got a weird one for you guys, I've searched and searched and come up empty so far.We have a CAD worker set up for visualization on a Windchill 10.2 / ProIntralink 8.x server.The CAD worker properly grabs the PROE_FoundationVIS license when it starts up, but every time it tries to publish a file, it also requests one of our Intralink_8_0 licenses as well. This then prevents one of our 4 users from connecting to Windchill. If the case is that all of our Intralink licenses are used up, the CAD worker publishing fails. Publishing works fine when there are spare Intralink licenses, but as soon as all of them are in use, either one person can't connect to Windchill or the publisher fails.Here's the CAD worker grabbing FoundationVIS, and then Intralink right afterwards when it publishes a file:If there are no Intralink licenses available, the worker throws an error (Failed to register Windchill server with --15 error code):I'm stumped on this one, I've reached out to our reseller that insta

Hello Folks,I worked on a listener which attaches a document to the part in "references" table.The scenario is once a document is attached ito a part as described by document then the same document should go to references table (of that part )also.I used the POST_CHECKIN listener and it tells part cannot be checedout as this is not the latest iteration.I even obtained the working copy of teh part then tried to modify.But this works only when the part is checkedout again not in the same checkout.Any one has any idea on which listener i can use so that if a part is checked out to attach a document in described by then taht document should get attached in references also.

I really need help with this. It bugs me. When I go to open certain things (drawings, assemblies, whatever) I am given the pop up window that says "This object is read only as it is not checked out" and gives me a list of things to check out. I can find no rhyme or reason to what it wants me to check out. For instance, right now, I am trying to open a drawing of an assembly. The drawing is in a released state, the assemblies in the drawing are in released states. All I want to do is open the drawing. Why on earth would I be asked to check out two (not all, just two) of the sub assemblies?Any clues, hints, nudges in the right direction would be hugely appreciated. I'm sure there's some logic, I'm just completely missing it.

I have gone through <WT_Home>\codebase\wt\clients\saveas<WT_Home>l\src\com\ptc\windchill\uwgm\cadx\saveas these directories and tried to modify but I am not able to see any modifications even after restarting windchill server each time after modification. I am completely new to windchill customization, all your suggestions and recomendation will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,     I beginner in windchill, I want to use the windchill objects using the JAVA API, but i am getting confused where to use which object like WTChangeRequest, WTDocument, WTPart, etc.Could anyone please help me.Thank you Sumit Patil

Hi viewers,Can anyone describeWhat are Domains and Containers and its significancedifference between Domains and Containers..?RegardsMadhu Nalla

Does anyone have to code to initiate the out of the box action "Build Multi Level CAD Structure". We would like to reuse the standard solution to build  a solution to automize the cad creation.Thanks,

Just ran into a SolidWorks drawing with some GTOL's.  Parts of each missing when viewed in Creo View for some users, but not others.Turns out those who saw correctly have AutoCAD installed.  Seems that we need all to have the correct gdt_____.ttf file under C;/Windows/Fonts.Publishing / Viewing SolidWorks is becoming a bigger and more complex puzzle every day.  Might revisit seeing if we can get .plt output to work.

Don't ask why but I'm in need of code that can be applied in a workflow expression robot that counts the number of affected objects on a promotion request (technically the "promotion targets.").  Need to branch the workflow if above a certain number.Getting stuck trying to make it work - would appreciate any suggestions.thanks in advance

Need some help.We have Dynamic Document users who need to check where a Task is used on Publications.By default, the Where used shows all parent items. The trouble is that they need to go to each item to confirm it's the latest version.To make things complicated, we use the same State for the all previous official versions.C: Released for Production          Does not use TaskB: Released for Production          Uses the TaskI can filter to View to only show a state if we only had one version at "Released for Production" if we set the previous to something like superseded or obsolete.

All,Is it possible to point/modify an existing CAD Document Template to point to a new revision of our start parts? When creating the original CAD Document templates I noticed that I was forced to name them slightly different that the Creo model that I selected for that template. In the example below, I removed the letter "a" from the word part in the template name.Creo model (our start parts in our library) = start_part.prt  rev ACAD Document Template name = start_prt.prt Now we created a rev B of our Creo model and would like to update the CAD Document template to recognize the new revision.Is it possible or do I need to create new templates?

NAVSEA has updated  to TE000-AB-GTP-010 to SD-18. PTC should stay current with the applicable derating guidelines, rather thatn have all their users ceate custom derating files for the same common document(s).
