Windchill

Hello,I’m trying to create an attribute that could verify if a document posses a secondary content (a boolean would be enough) Once created, I will use that attribute in the advanced search’s view,  to be able to sort and show if the document has a secondary content or not I’m on Windchill 10.2, with my new standart attribute “HasSecondaryContent” in the type “Document”, but I don’t know how get the information about the secondary content into my attribute, or to add it in the list of attributes in the view modification’s window (I see it on the document detail page)Do you have some hints to help me create that attribute ?

We have a requirement to configure WTDocument numbering with manual numbering and an automatically appended postfix, without using any additional attributes.Example:Number Format: XXXX_YYWhere: XXXX = User-entered manual number YY = System-generated postfix based on the document subtype Example: D1 → DOC001_CR D2 → DOC002_CR D3 → DOC003_CI D4 → DOC004_CI Could you please confirm whether this requirement can be achieved through OIR configuration alone, or if a customization (such as a Form Processor, Number Generator, or Event Listener) is required?Additionally, is there any standard Windchill approach to append a fixed postfix to a manually entered number without introducing additional attributes?

PTC Community;Is it possible to generate a report of the maximum daily usage of our ADU licenses for a specific time period (e.g. what is the max daily ADU usage for the last 6 months).  We are trying to find a way to get a report that will help us in budget planning for licensing and identifying license usage trends). --Kirk Wemple

We have a requirement to send certain WTPart data from Windchill to ERP using ESI, specifically for parts that are created on a given day.The idea is to pick up all parts created on that day (they will still be in an unreleased state) and send them to ESI so that the XML gets generated. Later, once the parts go through the normal change/release process, the updated data will be published again.My plan is to write a custom piece of code that runs on a schedule (maybe a nightly job). It would:Query all WTParts created on that day Loop through them Send them to ESI programmaticallyBefore going ahead, I wanted to check if anyone has already done something similar — mainly:Triggering ESI publish via code (instead of using the UI “Send to Distribution Target”) Generating ESI XML for parts using this approachAny pointers on the recommended API or approach would be helpful.

Scenario 1 A user creates a CAD part (EPMDocument) and performs a check-in. This triggers a visualization job. The job is submitted to a low-priority queue. Description is blank. Later, the user creates a Change Notice (CN) and submits it. This triggers another visualization job. The job is submitted to a medium-priority queue. Description is "Submitted". Issue in Scenario 1: When the object is sent for review, initially the correct ("Submitted") representation is visible. However, once the earlier low-priority job (triggered during check-in) executes later: It republishes the representation Overrides the "Submitted" representation with the blank one As a result, the reviewer ends up seeing an outdated representation instead of the latest one. Scenario 2 Reviewer sends the object for rework: A new visualization job is triggered (with description like "Rework") After rework, the object is again submitted for review: Another visualization job i

Hi., Is there any WRS that will fetch the Routing/Process History from Promotion Request? Thanks.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: HTML table format issue for data utility after upgrading to Windchill 13Description: Hi all I have a custom data utility for an attribute that returns a HTML snippet to create a table to be displayed in the Details page of Windchill 12. Recently we upgraded to Windchill 13 and since then the table has formatting issues. To be specific each cell has their own width whereas in Windchill 12 it was same as the cell in header row and in addition rows aren't separated but lined up one cell after the another. Anybody aware of this issue or faced anything similar?

Hello Experts,We are facing an issue with 2D publishing in Windchill.The user is working in a Creo environment and attempting to publish a 2D representation for a Creo assembly. The assembly contains a few child components that originate from SolidWorks.When the user initiates the 2D publishing process, the publish job fails. We would like to understand whether the presence of SolidWorks child parts within a Creo assembly could be causing the issue and if there are any prerequisites or configurations required to support this publishing scenario.Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Could you please advise on the supported approach and any troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Hi, Is it possible to restore the welcome screen shown in the screen shot, After a user checked the red marked box? I could not find any helpful article to reset it. There is no such a thing the preference management of the user. Is it possible to delete a cache or something for a particular user? I have admin credentials too.. This request is not urgent for sure, but one of the users asked me to help him with it.. Thanks for your helpDescription:

The orientation of CAD representation in the Visualization tab in part structure browser and in Creo view is showing upside - down. while it is showing correct orientation when opening in Creo and also in the thumbnails in windchill. Any solution is available for this ?

Hello,I am receiving an "Execution Timeout Expired" error in Windchill Risk and Reliability while performing a large-scale analysis/calculation on a complex system architecture.Steps to Reproduce: Open the relevant system tree / project. Run the calculation/report (e.g., Reliability Prediction / FMEA / RBD analysis). After a certain period, the application throws the "Execution Timeout Expired" dialog box (Please see the attached "Error.PNG"). Error Message: "Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."   Thank you for your support.

Hello everyone,Our team is currently evaluating the integration of ZW3D with PTC Windchill as our PLM system. Before moving forward, we would like to ask the community about the compatibility, integration feasibility, and overall user experience regarding this setup.Specifically, we are curious about the following: Integration Without WGM: Is there a way to connect and use ZW3D directly with Windchill without utilizing the Workgroup Manager (WGM)? If so, what are the available methods (e.g., using specific APIs or third-party connectors) and what are their limitations? Workgroup Manager (WGM) Integration: Is there a dedicated Workgroup Manager or a reliable multi-CAD gateway officially available for ZW3D to connect seamlessly with Windchill? How stable is the data management (Check-in, Check-out, and revision control) for ZW3D files through WGM? Data and Attribute Mapping: Does the system accurately map CAD attributes and metadata between ZW3D and Windchill? Are there any known iss

Hi All,   Being a beginner in windchill, I would like to know about Workflows and Change Process in detail.   Thanks, Riyaz.

Is it possible to add a `Check out and Edit` option either a right-mouse button click or in the Actions pull down within the Affected objects table of a problem report? I didn’t see any options in the task form template…  

Is it possible to complete a workflow task programmatically using Java code?For example, I would like to complete a Change Notice task programmatically rather than through the user interface. Is this supported? If so, could you please provide some guidance on how this can be achieved? Best Regards,Shrikant Bhosle

Hi All,We are experiencing an issue where users are creating releasable documents (RD) by drag and drop a document/file into Windchill PDM. It looks like it is a base functionality of Windchill PDM that when we drag and drop a file into Windchill. it open up a New multiple Documents Window. By default, the document type is RD (releasable document). We want to restrict users to do that. We are looking for an option to either stop/block this functionality at all or the default type should be Reference Material (RM) while drag n drop. Since Releasable document requires a process to complete and includes a lot of mandatory metadata to fill in. We want Windchill system to not allow users to create Releasable document with drag and drop functionality. Happy to provide more details.We have Windchill PDM 13.0.2 version. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS N/A In Windchill, after I successfully import a translation package, the process runs normally, but the content within the translation baseline corresponding to the translation package still shows as 'translating' instead of 'translated'. This issue does not occur for all translation packages. How can I troubleshoot this problem?

I’ve used WWGM with Solidworks 202X for years with no issues.Recently I’ve been tasked to import a few hundred NX prts into our Windchill “commonspace”.We are on Windchill 12.X.After installing NX, I went to WWGM Application Management and added NX 2312.I see the WWGM tool bar when I launch NX but don’t seem to have a connection toa new workspace I created for this task.Some more information. When I start NX (unlike SW with WWGM) it launches WWGM itself.NX come up and has this message (I click okay with no other choices) “Unable to connect to WWGM. If more than one instance of the authoring application is running, the new one will run disconnected”.Also in WWGM the bottom message bar states “Failed to set workspace local directory” (strange as it works fine for SW).Any ideas?Thank you.
