I'm in Workflow Administrator (Windchill 9.1) trying to update one of our workflows.  We need to have some of the Activity tasks renamed.  I have edited the name in the General Tab, saved the workflow, checked it back in, imported it, etc.  But when I run the workflow its still using the older Activity task name, even though when I open the workflow it has the new name there.  What am I missing?  Sorry I'm new to editing the workflows?  Is a server restart required?  It seems like a simple thing, yet it's not working?

I have tried "Using custom reports from Windchill" Module from the Windchill Extension Guide to show the windchill reports in Thingworx environment. But i am facing the issue while testing the service as in the below screenshot. Please help me if anyone tried.

Hello.I was wondering if anyone had any interest in reducing the number of "collector" controls in Windchill actions?   I recently had to use a tool that showed me this toolbar:As a CAD user, I primarily need to use this set of controls:My customization reduced the total number of icons from 32 to 8.I realize that other users would find some of the icons that I have excluded useful (and find some that I have included not useful); but it seems unlikely that any one user needs all 32 icons.There are no Product Idea asking for an enhancement to allow user or role based customization of the collector toolbar.   Any interest?  If not, how do you have other workarounds?ThanksJennifer

The auto-associate command in Windchill's CAD integrations is an easy way to relate CAD documents to existing parts or create new parts to facilitate the creation of CAD driven product structure. However, there exist cases where not all CAD models represent an actual part and part number from a BoM perspective (for certain object types such as skeleton parts these get filtered automatically). But for general models it is not so easy until Windchill 10.0. Check out the new site preference "Part Structure Override Attribute Name" located under Operation > Auto-Associate. this new preference allows you to specify a boolean attribute name that auto-associate will look for on each CAD document and depending on its value auto-associate will either try to create/relate to a part, or will simply skip it. give it a try.

I want to know in which workspace(s), I have several, that a particular CAD object resides. I cannot locate any search criteria that would return my query?

Hi All,I am having PDMLink setup with multiple organization. It is very difficult to know under which organization we are currently. Is there any way to find under which organization the container(Product, Liberary,etc.) is created from the detail page of the container?I know it is possible to get the details from the policy administration, But it is tedious.Please let me know if there is any doubts;Best Regards,John Selvaraj

Interesting meetings here lately.In general, we supply files (native CAD and/or STEP/IGES, etc.) to outside parties as email attachments if small, or via Box or Drop Box or equiv if larger.  There is interest in allowing outside parties to access these and download directly from Windchill - now discussing options, etc.Interested in what others have done / are doing related to this.A few possibly approaches:- use Windchill Projects, possibly one per outside party; add neutral files / possibly share CAD data to the project, maybe subscribe the outside parties to a folder in the project- use Windchill packages (possibly too much complexity though)- other?thanks in advance

I know I can export from Windchill under Actions/Export List to File/Export List to XLSX.  This only exports any subfolder names and any files in that current directory.  Is there a way to do a mass export to include the files in the subfolders without having to go into each individual folder and export the data from those folders?? 

Chrome did it already, the new browser Edge never will support it and now also Firefox will cancel the plugin interface NPAPI by the end of next year.I'm really looking forward to Windchill 11 and I hope PTC will present a HTML5 Creo View and the end of the Java Applets...https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

I would like to take a representation of a drawing file which contains a image file with it. When i tried the representation is not showing the image files with it.Can anyone will help me in finding out the solution for this

So Monday has gotten off to a grand start.  I came in and our Windchill was down and has been down since Saturday morning after Friday night's backup kicked off.  The server manager was giving an error that it could not connect to our database.  So I started to look at the database and there were no tables.  Went over to our IT database person for help.  He was finally able to see tables in the database.  However when we did a properties on the database, the location and names of the database files was incorrect.  It had switched everything from our 😧 and F: drive setup to C: drive, along with changing the names of the files.  We started to dig a little further because we wanted to change them back and found that our test server was being pointed to and that the file names and paths corresponded with the database files on our test environment.  We have been running in this environment for over 1-1/2 years without any issues.  I have no

Hello All,What is  the internal name of "DISPLAY-->workspace"  in preference admin?. I need to load this  preference  using LoadFromFile.Thanks in  AdvanceRegardsSenthil

I am missing a feature in the Workspace, mark objacts an add the tha a favourite list. This could be helpful to find the objects faster in a large workspace.Feature should be like this:Simple right klick on a object and select add to favorites. In the new favoite colom you should be able to sort for favorites.I dont know why windchill doesnt provide such a basic feature. Git, Lightromm etc. everybody has some sort of favorite adding feature.PS: I know that there is a my Notebook with Link (I use it to find Modules or large assemblies) but I'm looking for a fearture for fast selection/ navigation within the workspace.Keep up the Windchill imporvemntsBRPascal
