Windchill

I have two similar subassembly in the windchill with two different name. This two subassembly used in two different projects. how I can merge it has one  subassembly and to be used in two places.

I have a whole assembly that is not obsolete.But some of the parts inside it are in obsolete state. I have the permission to change change it to "in work" state.But there are some parts in another context in the same name which is "in work" state. So is it ok to change the state to "in work" that is in my context?

I want to excel the windchill table so that i can find the list of parts and drawings and their state.

I get stuck in Processing for quite some time without anything happening

I'm trying to create a report with query builder that shows WTParts with IBAs & two different WTDocument types with their IBAs associated with that WTPart. I've been able to show the WTPart with it's IBAs & the documents. But when I add IBAs from one of my WTDocuments, I receive many duplicate results. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent these duplicate results?

Is there an opt-in/opt-out functionality (to opt-out of newer functionalities and to get only bug fixes) when installing Windchill 10.2 or 11 ?            

Hi,When i am going through Change management videos on YouTube , found below video "PTC Windchill PDMLink Change Process Webinar - YouTube".In this they shows a Problem Report with Dual sign functionality, as per the presenter this is not customization, its configuration.Is any one know how to enable dual sign in functionality as shown in below image ?Here is the screen print from above video.Thanks,Vivek

You could tell from the topic that I’m fairly new to ProjectLink…  I’ve read the old doc (we’re on 10.2 M030) “Integral Operations Between Windchill PDMLink and Windchill ProjectLink”, ploughed through topics on this forum, tested ACL, but it all don’t quite come together.  The scenario is not new. There’s a requirement that external designers (contractors) access CAD-data and Parts via ProjectLink. To make it more simple for own users we’re going to have only one product context in PDMLink. Some of the externals should be limited with what they see in PDMLink, others probably could see all. If possible, externals could be allowed to work on Released / Approved content ie. revise, but since Modify rights are required in PDMLink to be able to work on items shared to ProjectLink this does not seem like an option.  How do you set it all up? How to limit what they see in PDMLink?

Hi,I have a soft attribute (URL) for WTPartUsageLink called LabelControl. Under the Uses tab of Structure tab of a WTPart, I want to be able to set a URL based on the label entered in the URL Label  field.The label will be the name of a WTDocument in Windchill and the URL is the details page of the WTDocument.I have tried to give the label and the URL using the following code, but the value of the attribute is not reflecting:     WTPartUsageLink usageLink = WTPartUsageLink.newWTPartUsageLink(part, part.getMaster());     part = (WTPart) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(part, WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(), "").getWorkingCopy();     PersistableAdapter obj = new PersistableAdapter(usageLink, null, Locale.US, new UpdateOperationIdentifier());     obj.load("LabelControl");     String url = getDetailsURL(doc); //gets the url of the WTDocument    

One of our Windchill wtparts has the below icon, when you hover over, it reads configurable module.What is it?  How did it become that icon?  How do I change it back to the normal wtpart icon?

Hello.I am working on a customization.I have my external enumerated value list customization on which I  pass a string as parameter (from the type and attribute management) to find a specific context.This works fine, however I'd like to pass to the parameter, the context gathered from the "create window" via NmCommandBean.Is this even possible?I know I can get the context from a datautility, maybe is it possible to pass it to the external enumerated class?Thank you for your help.Antonio

I saw a demonstration at the last PTC conference  related to the PTC Navigator.  I am having a horrible time finding any information on details regarding how it works or someone to discuss the details.   Anyone out there have any idea?

Is it possible for a given part number (eg ANNNANNN) to create "Design" View in a Design Product Container (eg:DEMO)  and "Manufacturing" View in a Plant Product/Library container (PLANT1)  for better access controls across Engineering and Manufacturing organization. Based on the community discussions and the earlier windchill versions this use case was not possible.   But what we have observed in WC11 M010 is , we are able to create Part's (ANNNANNN) Manufacturing View in different context (PLANT1)  other than Design view context (DEMO)through mAPSB .After successful creation of the view, in the mAPSB  under context column its showing the Design view context (DEMO)  but in the View information page of part's "Manufacturing"View its showing the actual context (PLANT1). Please let me know if anyone has observed this behavior and is it issue with WC11.   Appreciate your response and if any one has implemented such use cases.   - Raj

Hi,we would like to populate Attributes in WINDCHILL Parts  by using creo Parameters. Some attribute mappings I retrieved by Trail-and-Error, but for others I did not succeed.So my question is if it is possible to get a list from the system about those mappings? Or how can I find it? Thank you.Best regardsNorbert

On Thursday, February 9th at the PTC/User Technical Community Open Forum meetings in Boston, Cummins Inc. will be facilitating a PLM Track discussion about the (sometimes epic!) journey that companies face to achieve an Enterprise PLM solution. The goal is for all participants to engage with their peers and gain insight/connections relevant to their respective companies from the experience present within the PTC/User Technical Community. To assist with providing context for the discussion, please take 3-5 minutes to share the current state of PLM at your company by completing this brief, five question survey:Does Your Business Have an Enterprise PLM SolutionYour responses are anonymous. Only the composite response statistics will be shared during the Technical Community Open Forum session to introduce the topic and frame the discussion of opportunities and challenges on the journey toward an Enterprise PLM solution. Please respond by the end of the day Thursday, February 2nd. Thank you

Hi,On Windchill PDMLink 10.1 when I have a faulty purge my disk space increases. How do you make to retrieve this space on my HDD ? nd why do I have this?Thanks for your replies.RegardsD. Guichard

Is it possible to create an attribute on a object (CAD Doc) that when the objects iterates (check-in or revise), the previous value of the attribute will not copy forward?

Please see attached document.  Puzzled what is going on.We seem to have a zillion drawings that behave this way.

We don't currently use WTParts here (back 10+ years from how things were at Alcon...) and have no current plans.I'm simplifying Windchill where possible.  Would like to remove the Parts link from CAD Doc, Related Objects tab.  It's a matter of finding the right block in \Windchill\codebase\config\actions\???actionmodels.xml, copying it to custom-actionmodels.xml and then removing.  I can't find the file that has the related objects page definition.  Tech support w/PTC pending for a few days now - the TSE hasn't yet found it either.  Must be something very simple.  Appreciate answers.thx

Hi everyone,I created a new state in windchill trough Windchill Shell : enumCustomize.I can find this new state in the advanced search.But I can't find this in the list within the life cycle template administration.Does somebody know what I did wrong?Thanks in advance

anyone knows the steps to migrate to INTRALINK 3.4 M070 PTC Windchill PDM Essentials (Windchill PDMLink 10.2 M030-CPS20)it comes to pass from one Oracle database to SQLa consultant told me that you have to extract individual files from INTRALINK and then reinsertbut it would be too long to work and I can not believeI understand that this is a forum and not the assistance, but maybe someone has already done this enterpriseand can give me a hintTY

We have few users who had subscribed for many objects events like check-out, check-in, State change,....etc. to get email notifications for the changes.Now they no more works with organization and their account get deactivated in Active Directory. Windchill server is not able to send an email to those users for this events, so site admin getting email failure notifications.I am looking for some way to remove this subscriptions from the system for that specific user, as its very unpractical to go each and every objects and unsubscribe there.Any help will be appreciated.Thanks,Devidas

Hi all,This is a fairly discussed topic, but I don't see good documentation and examples in PTC help on what is recommended for what type of documents.Iam looking for examples on in what cases we should use the link "References Document" and in what cases we should use "Described by" document.Recommended option for scenarios A,B,C and recommended option for Scenarios D, E ,F.I see that usage of "References Document" is OOTB restricted to documents under the type "Reference Documents", but this could be overridden by a preference.FYI. We are in WC 11.0 are getting close to working part centric.Thanks!Hari
