Hello,I'm trying to make a attribute dependent of the value of another attribute.Both are IBA's.So we have an attribute "number of bends" this is filled in automatic with a string number.The second attribute "overrule qty" should be required if the other one is greater than 0.So I tried to do it like this:But this doesn't seem to work, my guess is that number of bends is defined as a string and not as an integer, but this we can't change that easily.Does somebody know a trick to do this, or another way to get my goal?Thanks in advance

I have an open PTC case but wanted to see if anyone has any experience on this. I have 1 user who can no longer connect to Windchill from a specific PC. Anytime he tries to connect he gets an error that the server is offline. It will attempt to go online and fail. Sometimes even giving the "server is now available" but quick to go back offline. Over the past month it's been a progressive decay from occasionally happening to always happening. Clear participant cache at one point got him a day's worth of work before going offline again, then an hour, then minutes. Same with clearing caches/appdata. It works sometimes, but not forever. Methodserver is showing it as Creo disconnecting, along with socket write errors. I've purged caches, appdata, Creo Parametric program files, everything I can think of that belongs to Creo. Firewalls are fine. Network appears fine. I can log in on his machine, works fine. He can log onto other machines, works fine. Browser works fine. PTC is pointing me tow

Hi all,We are in wc 11.0We are going to use Part Described by document links.2 questions.,1. How to show that a used Revision of a document is the Latest Revision or Not Latest Revision? (Remember this is a Described by link)Strangely the OOTB system attribute "Latest" is for Iteration. Is there OOTB system attribute to know if it is the latest Revision?2. Is there preference or property to delete  from the "Described by" link ---the old Revision of the document and link the Latest Revision of that document?Because user will not know that the connected document is not the latest Revision. There is a high need for this.Is this an enhancement done in WC 11.0 or do we need to do customization?Thanks & Have a nice day!Hari

windchill installation stuck at 50% from three days so what to do?

Customer QuestionWe are into our first week of using the new Windchill system, and so far we are liking it. However, I do have one question for you. Previously, in Intralink 3.4, we were able to locate a specific check in form, and delete it along with the part iterations introduced, effectively undoing the check-in.So far I have not found a way to do this using Windchill. I would like to be able to find a specific check-in, see what parts were modified, and delete the latest iteration of those parts.
