Can anyone explain what the Update Geometry button does and why it's there (other than to remove all visualization work when accidentally clicked by user).  Lost about 20 annotations this morning - MFG dept is less than pleased.  I opened a case with PTC and was told there is limited info on this subject and to file an enhancement request for improved documentation. WOW.

HiI have a utility program on Windchill - deployed and working.I want this program to start running as soon as the method server starts and stops as soon as the method server stops.Adding to the contents of this example, I added the following commands to run the java program right after windchill starts:     cd C:\ptc\Windchill_11.0\Windchill     java ext.mypackage.utilityClassThe error: "unable to find or load main class" appears.However, running the command java ext.mypackage.utilityClass on Windchill shell directly works as it should.So, why does the batch file fail to do the same?

Hi,I have a File uploading utility that loads WTDocuments to Windchill.I want to load this package onto Windchill and compile it using ant script.So far, I have managed to copy the package (which is a bunch of .java files) onto the src folder using the following ant script:   <target name="taskUnzip">           <unzip src="${packagestructure}/myuploadutility.zip" dest="${wc_src}"/> </target> I use the following task to compile it: <target name="compile">   <javac srcdir="${wc_src}" destdir="${wc_codebase}"/>   </target> But this throws several errors similar to :\myuploadutility.java:5: error: cannot find symbol    [javac] import com.ptc.netmarkets.model.NmOid;    [javac]                                ^

The default value of Project Activity is "Unavailable" ("無法使用" in Chinese). How could we change the wording to avoid misunderstood?

We have configured data utility for attribute on one sofftype of Part.It gives Suggetsions via Suggestion Text Box. This functionality works perfectly fine when I create part without selecting any value for "Create as End Item" attribute.But when I select "Create as End Item" attribute as yes, the page gets refreshed and the functionality wont work.Even If I select "Create as End Item" attribute as No after this, the Data Utility wont work.We are using Windchill 10.1 M020.Has anyone faced same issue?

We have a question if it is possible to allow an action for a numeric revision at a given state (In Work) but not allow the same action at alpha revision at the same state (In Work)?The action is Delete.

Hi folks,We have Windchill instance hosted in the United States and 5 global replicas scattered throughout the world.  We are trying to get ODMs in Asia to adopt more typical usage using Creo / Windchill within the workspace but performance in some areas is very lack luster.  Even with regional / local replicas in place, the 250+ latency back to master combined with the ODMs own network challenges make Creo usage in a integrated workspace challenging and time consuming.  It seems PTC will not support a multi-master setup which leaves me wondering about further options.  So, plan B.   How many of you use Windchill packaging?  Creo packing?  Are there any good presentations about how to set this up, what the pitfalls are, etc?  I think at this point I would like to do a proof of concept with select ODMs to see if packaging would be a better offline / working solution.thoughts / anything to share?Jon

I have 60 top level assemblies and I created wt part for the same. Now I need all 60 wt part to be converted as End Items. Can I do this in Windchill or should I remove association of all wt, delete wt's, create End item wt and then associate it again with respective assemblies?

When I run the API in test server, all is ok, but after applying to stage server(same production server), there is a error "wt.method.AuthenticationException", in method log file, the error info is "[RMI TCP Connection(14)-171.71.189.172] wt.httpgw.HTTPAuthentication  - HTTP login failed: client host = 171.71.189.172", who can help me? "171.71.189.172" is the server IP.Thanks.White
