I have configured one of my attributes within a custom sub-type to make use of a picker. The picker works fine and some of the code used within the java file for this picker can be seen below: HashMap<String, Object> defaultProps = new HashMap<String, Object>();defaultProps.put("objectType", "wt.part.WTPart");defaultProps.put("pickedAttributes", "number");defaultProps.put("multiSelect", "false");defaultProps.put("showPartType", "ActiveOnly");defaultProps.put("readOnlyPickerTextBox", "false");defaultProps.put("showSuggestion", "true");defaultProps.put("suggestServiceKey", "DocPartPickerId");defaultProps.put("label", "Search for Part");defaultProps.put("pickerTitle", "Search for Part"); The attribute I am making use of is a global attribute and has no constraint enabled on it to make it "Single-Valued". I would like to make my attribute to display adjacent to a "+" icon so that I can associate multiple values with it. However, inclusion of the picker seems to r

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: For exporting packages/deliveries we want the filenaming to be consistent: number_iteration_name_lifecyclestatus This is currently achieved by using the afterEDRloader script, and works on all published files, that are renamed and set as an attachment. We would like to do the same with the files where there is not generated a representation (currently CSV and ZIP). Suggestions to do this would be appreciated.Description: For exporting packages/deliveries we want the filenaming to be consistent: number_iteration_name_lifecyclestatusThis is currently achieved by using the afterEDRloader script, and works on all published files, that are renamed and set as an attachment.We would like to do the same with the files where there is not generated a representation (currently CSV and ZIP).Suggestions to do this would be appreciated. One suggestion that I would like to validate the idea of before starting on an implementation:Could we utilize the C

In Help Center there's a topic "Filtering Gathering Parts" which in the end says: "To assign a gathering part attribute to a Windchill part:1.Set the value of the server-side preference, Operation > Auto Associate > Phantom Assembly Override Attribute Name to a BOOLEAN customer-defined soft attribute2.In the CAD application, set the attribute to yesAuto Associate creates a Gathering Part attribute on the Windchill part when it is created."Filtering Gathering Parts Does this mean:- create a soft attribute to EPMDocument- enter this as value to the mentioned preference- in CAD application use this to define whether the associated WTPart should be a Gathering Part or not- when the EPMDoc is checked in the related WTPart's Gathering Part attribute is updated accordingly This being a "customer-defined soft attribute" on the EPMDoc changing the value iterates the EPMDoc?While Gathering Part -attribute on WTPart is a

Going crazy here so an extra set of eyes can't hurt. I have a 13.0.2 Dev system (empty) and I am setting up PartsLink to match my Prod server for testing. I am admin and here are my licenses since I am linking in this thread: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Issues-with-Classification-Attribute/m-p/926928#M77761  I see the classification attribute on my Part Create/edit screen but Nodes do not show up. 1. Created my string resuable attribute: partClassification 2. Created Global attribute on Part object and added Classification constraint: I used default namespace string of "com.ptc.csm.default_clf_ namespace" since I am old school. 3. Created a namespace using that same name and a root node. There are some that are instantiable so I know that is not it.  Did I miss a step? Is it possible to clear and start over? I tried deleting the constraint on the partClassification attribute but no luck.  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: A CAD Engineer is working on an assembly in Windchill 13.0. The assembly contains both: Standard Library Parts (e.g., screws, bearings, fasteners, etc.) stored in a controlled Library context. Design-Specific Parts that need to be copied for a new product variant. When performing Save As: The business requirement is that Library Parts must always be reused (to avoid duplication of standards). Only the design-specific parts should be copied automatically. Current challenge: Windchill sets either all dependents to Reuse (with preference “Enable Save Selected Objects Only”) or requires the user to manually adjust each dependent, which is error-prone.Description: In Windchill 13.0, when performing a Save As on a CAD assembly, the system does not provide an option to automatically distinguish between Library parts and non-Library parts.With the preference “Enable Save Selected Objects Only” enabled, only the top-level assembly is copied, and all child

Does anyone have any suggestions, recommendations or experiences with integrating PCB design software with Windchill? We would be designing the circuit boards, assembly and screen printing and so on then using the models in our mechanical assemblies. We have AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, and Mentor integrated with Windchill but these don't seem to have the PCB circuit board design features were looking for. I found a CATIA module called CBD but not sure it does what we want or if it can be integrated with Windchill.. I see PTC has published plans to drop support for various ECAD software in future.

We are now a week into Windchill 13 so lots of new things and experiences to understand but one that I do not remember seeing for a long time was deadlocks. I've seen two events were I had a deadlocked or dead Methodserver, both fixable by restart. Aside from grepping logs for "Deadlock", are there any JMX alerts that can be configured to notify when this conditions arise? I thought this was a function of the ServerManager to detect and whack misbehaving methodservers and restart them. Also monitoring SELinux from being the cause of all my grief.  I can see it blocking things randomly causing unexpected behaviour and threads to halt. Aside from that, any other places I should look to resolve root causes of deadlocks?  2025-08-20 07:27:50,478 ERROR [wt.jmx.core.mbeans.Dumper.deadlockChecker] wt.jmx.notify.deadlock - Time=2025-08-20 07:27:50.274 -0400, Name=DeadlockNotifier, SourceObjectName=com.ptc:wt.subsystem=Dumper, class=class javax.management.Notification, type=wt.jmx.cor

I have a Gathering WT part "xx_asm" associated by owner link to a CAD doc "xx.asm"  I read through a lot of support and community articles, tried a lot of available options but didn't find a solution. I am facing the following problems:1. The Creo View Representation created on CAD Doc is not shown on the (Gathering) WT part.2. When attempting to create a new representation for WT Part, the page 2 "Choose Input source" of "New Representation" dialog box  shows different options than expected. As shown in the images below...      I tried to repair the Owner Link, but no change. Secondly, when I add the CAD Doc "xx.asm" to a Workspace, the Related WT Part "xx_asm" is also added. It  means the owner link must be fine... but still, where is the root cause and how to solve?

Hello,Is there a way to use SQL queries to delete all the WTPARTs and clean up all the related links tables?Some articles state that this is possible through purge and link removal, but can this be done through the DB?

Solidworks 2022 Professional installed on the Windchill Server running on Azure VM. OS is MS Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition and I am aware that it is not supported by the book.Installed Creo View Adapters 10.0, both SOLIDWORKS and OFFICE worker agents and workers have been setup. OFFICE worker starts and becomes available (though not tested in practice), while SOLIDWORKS is always "Off" or "Fails to start".Both swbatch.bat and swrunInteractive start without problems: I had luck converting a test.sldprt file in the local adapter folder with swbatch and swrunInteractive brings up the Solidworks GUI.swworker.bat fails when started directly from the setup folder. In the monitor log file I get the following line "Got version 8 INIT FAILURE (with no description) from WVS.". It is funny that I don't get the same error when I start the Worker agent from the Administration window, but rather "Got INIT SUCCESS reply", However the worker log file states "sw2pv Error:58000: Failed to

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Check-in is causing Creo to crash. Description: We have just upgraded to Windchill 13.0.2.0 and Creo 10.4.0. When doing a Custom Check-In, Creo is crashing with a fatal error and all work is lost. We have asked the user to do a Save before doing the Check-In and that seems to help, but it is adding an extra step. Has anyone else seen this issue with this combination of Creo and Windchill? At my last job we had Windchill 13.0.2.3 with both Creo 9.0.9.0 and Creo 11.0.3.0 and did not encounter any issues.
