Team, The drawing is correctly shown in SolidWorks as per the drawing. But after publishing, two lines are shown in the Creo view. 

We're about to implement reverse proxy and open up our Windchill system to about 500 vendors, each with access to just one Project.Current intensely studying / experimenting with both subscriptions and notification policies - attempting to set up such that Project templates will be helpful on this also.  Finding many very large gaps and issues / limitations. These relate to, among others:- cannot set up a subscription to a Role in the Project Team; only option is individual users or an Org-level Group- cannot (so far) find a way to trigger policy notification when a CAD Doc or Doc is shared to a project, or updated in the project (works for subscription)- cannot (so far) find a way to set up subscription for all folders in the project (works for any one folder)- have been customizing the emails; after two workshops with SME's, all said to eliminate most items, leaving only a message and a hyperlink - they now would like to add a fewMost powerful and robust for notification is to s

I need to move a large number of CAD Documents from one product to another. (Windchill Intralink 9.1)What I have to start with is a list of 1,200 part numbers.For each part number, there will be multiple drawings and models that begin with the same part number prefix.For example, for part 12345, I need to move 12345*.* from product A to product B, and in the same respective folder.Both products were created from the same template.They have identical QIR's, roles, policies, life cycles, & folder structure.Is there some way to script this massive move?Extra challenges:Some of the CAD documents might be checked out, or in a pending promotion.Some part numbers might not exist at all (no models or drawings).This would most likely happen if someone mistyped a part number in the list that was given to me.Gerry ChampouxWilliams InternationalWalled Lake, MI

Hello,because Windchill is able to use Azure Blob Storage as File Vaults, I'd like to know if only HOT tier is supported or we could configure Blob Storage to move files to Cool/Cold/Archive tier, for cost reduction.I didn't find any info in the documentation regarding this point.Thanks,Alfredo

Hi so I'm working on this Thing that takes information from windchill, and puts it though a calculator to return times for the part. but is there anyway to use an O data connector or any feature to get a representation from windchill, there is the WRS partGetRepresentation but I do not know how to implement that into a service that can be called with a part Id or number, I currently am using getJSON to get the urls but that needs credentials in the code but is there a way to avoid having to log in each time by doing it another method that doesnt need to login.var url = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Windchill/servlet/odata/v7/ProdMgmt/Parts('" + input + "')/Representations"; var result; try { var response = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].GetJSON({ url: url, username: user, password: pass, timeout: 10 }); if (response.value && response.value.length > 0) { var rep = response.value[0]; // Check for valid 2D/3D thumbnail URLs if (rep.TwoDThumbnailURL && rep.Tw

Hi All,How to manage SolidEdge users in Windchill?Do any of you have experience managing SolidEdge files in Windchill? Thank you.Regards==deddy==

I am currently making a mashup in ThingWorx 9.6.1-b253, that needs to call upon a few private services from the thing PTC.Nav,ViewPartStructure. I have tried making a template of that thing and making my own thing inside the same project I am currently doing my work in, as the error states: " Access Modifier Check Failed; Thing: [SMDCostingCalculator] SMDViewPartStructure, accessing ThingTemplate: [ptc.nav.PTC.Nav.Default] PTC.Nav.ViewPartStructureAppThingTemplate Scope: NONE, with Service: GetRepresentableInfo Scope: PRIVATE. Reason: Private Characteristics are accessible only from project in which they're defined." which i can guess is because my thing, SMDViewPartStructure, is not in the service of PTC.Nav.Default.  Is there any workaround to be able to call these services as i need them. I know its possible as my company has another template that calls upon the service in a mashup in another project and seems to work, yet doesnt work when called as a service. &n

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case:Description: My company have integrated windchill and inventor some years ago, before my arrivalNow I'm reviewing the configuration and I think we have some issues, mainly on the Inventor's client settings side. For example, regarding the inventor "content center", we've correctly created a library in Windchill and imported all the content center parts, etc, but on Inventor's side, under settings, I'm not convinced that the paths are configured properly. I'm attaching some screenshots with comments of the current settings, for the tab "Files" and "Content Center"   and also another screenshot of the Default Project.  I'd like to get some feedback by someone who is successfully using Inventor with Windchill,If you could share what are your settings/default project I would really appreciate it, Also if  you have other advices, i'd be happy to listen thanks

Version: Windchill 11.0 Use Case: Is there a way to pull drawings for every part within an assembly?

Is there a way to automate this or do it really quickly?Description: Not a problem just a question.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Say, we have a large classification tree that has some nodes that need to be moved, others need to be added or deleted automatically.Description: We do not want to do this task with hand (as it will take a lot of time and need to be done on our QA environments first). We also want a script to do this so that in the future, when the tree changes according to our business needs it can be easily done. Though when I was looking for any documentation on how to do this I could not find anything to help me. Currently i am trying to insert a new child node of a child node: root > classification > new node trying to import the following file: <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX26.dtd"> <NmLoader>    <csvLoader>        <objectType>com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.iba.classification.ClassificationNode</objectType>    &nb

I've been following the posts of the year's on Windchill development and how folks are managing their customizations and their steps for deployment. Being historically untrained and old school, I had opted for simplicity but these "bad habits" might be preventing me for moving forward. I have completed as restructuring of my Git repo and removed Eclipse compiled class files from its management. Just for context, I develop offline on my laptop pushing changes up to Bitbucket then down to the local repos on Dev, Test or Prod as needed. Feel free to throw stones at any point. I can duck, bob and weave.  Now, I have been exploring  methods to automate or script build and deploy to the Windchill directory. Ant seems to be what I've chosen to work with for the moment. Historically, I've made use of the wtSafeArea and wtCustom area to stage updates and the "installSiteChanges" to push into codebase.  I also started looking at tools.xml scripts and it seems that these were desig

How to batch create a large number of users in Windchill

Curious what others are doing. When you deploy apps, do you link directly to them or do you make use of the landing page? I can see my page getting very cluttered soon with an ever growing cluster of "custom apps" appearing at the bottom. I am sure I can create my own front end with direct links to each app but is there a more standard way of modifying the landing page or even making a new one? I can see just a simple reorganization and sorting might be helpful.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: WINDU Issue "CheckoutConsistencyReportDT"Description: Hi there,I ran WINDU and ran into a "potential problem" named "CheckoutConsistencyReportDT".In cs350652 there is a "solution" to alter the corresponding values in the data base.https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs350652It says "Manually update ida3a2ownership and classnamekeya2ownership column values to 0 & null for the problematic entries". But in which table? And how do I find the entry to change?If I run this in the database, I get 114 results. This means, that there are 114 tables with those columns. select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNSwhere COLUMN_NAME like 'classnamekeya2ownership' So, how to fix the CheckoutConsistencyReportDT problem?PS: I tried to send a feedback for the article, but the "feedback feature" does not work.
