Windchill

I want to add rows in affected objects table (of Change Task) upon clicking a custom action. Custom action I've already created, AddParent.When I select an object present in the table and click "AddParent", the system should fetch all its parent objects & display it in the table. What are the approaches you can suggest? Thanks.

We currently have SolidWorks 2016 and I was wondering if it is compatible with Windchill Workgroup Manager? We are using Windchill 10 and Creo 3 is our primary CAD software. But we are starting get files from vendors created using our part numbers that I am being asked to put into Windchill.

We haven't yet used (new for 10.x) enumerated lists of attribute values, but are preparing to do so. Some of our attributes have very long lists of possible values.There is no method that we can see to transfer values developed in a test system to production. Has anyone found a way to do this - possible via a Windchill shell command? Note: one can easily capture the values via a query builder report and so typing is not required when adding to production, but lots of copy/paste is still needed.Tech support saysexport / import thruany meansis not supported as far as they know.

@Operation failed because the user did not have the necessary permission on the following objects to perform the operation: Format  - jjk_cadform_b_stdrd_wm.frm, -.1I recently installed Windchill 11.0.  I am setup as Manager as well as User. I sure can use some help on how to set the permission for drawing format in Windchill?Best Regards,GWC

What is the difference (if any) to the end-user interface in Windchill when the system architecture is designed to use one container versus multiple containers? (I'm not asking about impact for system administrators, just the end-user experience). Thank you.

Family Tables are a headache with Windchill. One many of many issues is it's very easy for Creo users to remove Instances from Family Table by simply hitting Delete Row inside of Creo but this can create undesirable scenarios if the objects are already in Windchill. Since the Deleted Instance is now longer attached to the latest Generic model, if a previous Assembly in Windchill used the Deleted Instance, you are unable to update to the latest Generic rev in a workspace. You're stuck with out of date objects in your workspace. However Creo lets you delete instances without telling you that could be bad for Windchill. Our 'standard' has been to tell users not to delete instances from Family Tables once they're in Windchill and simply filter the undesirable instances off the drawing. New users have a habit of finding out the hard way that they shouldn't delete instances. I was curious what other people do... Not worry about it? Found a way to prevent users from deleting instances from Cr

Hi all,     How to move the files stored in database as BLOB to the file vault? Could anyone help me in this?Thank you Sumit Patil

I'm trying set the state of all the objects attached to a promotion or CN back to the state when they started the workflow. The problem is the objects could have multiple starting states, either In Work or Development In work, so I can't use code to state state of every object attached to the promotion or CN. I was thinking to query the objects, which could be a combination of WTPart, WTDocument, and EPMDocuments, and maybe finding the maturity history of the latest revision, and setting the state to that initial revision. Problem is, I don't know how to do any of this. Has anyone experienced or written code to do something similar?

Hi All,I have a Problem Report having 10 Custom Attributes on it.My requirement is like that, if User belongs to Group A tries to create a Problem Report, for him/her only 5 Attributes should be visible.If User belongs to Group B tries to create a Problem Report, he/she should see 7 Attributes on his creation page.If User belongs to Admin Groups, for him all 10 custom attributes visible on Problem Report creation page .Is this feasible by using any UI Validators ? datautilites etc ? Regards,Vivek

Hi,   I have a requirement as follows 1. There are 2 document objects used in windchill (say Doc1 and Doc2). Doc2 can be created only when there is Doc1 (i.e. Doc2 can be created from details page of Doc1, The Doc1 number will be added as an attribute value in Doc2)   2. I wanted to create a report such that the output should show the value of Doc1 number and Doc2 number but with the condition that the Doc1 number should be in output even though Doc2 is not created.   Any suggestions would be helpful.   Regards, Logeshwar.J

Dear all,I don't know about PTC windchill. Can you give brief about windchill and its purpose

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?
