Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Client would like to avoid changes on the modified assembly that is not closed in CAD system session (comes from not latest version), but it indicates in workspace as latest after update(Do not Close action). Thus he would like to know if there is a possibility to set allways default option for "The document is open in the authoring application.Would you like to close it?" = Close and UpdateDescription: Scenario:1. Open in workspace non-latest iteration of CAD object.2, Some changes are made on the level of the main assembly fe. colour of the components are changed.3. Save in CAD application is made4. Item is not checkout message.5. Item is not checkout - continue action for all components/subassemblies except main assembly, for which check-out action is selected.6. Message: Assembly can not be check-out as it is not latest iteration.7. Wokspace refreshed, main assembly with status modified and still in non-latest revision.8.  Updat

Version: Windchill 12.1 Someone made a check-in but filled in the wrong attribute field.Now I need to fix it by leaving it blank, but when I try to check in, it says that I can't do that because the field cannot be removed. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it? Just to add, the field is a string and have no restrictions, and it's an asm file.

Hi all,  I have a custom wizard with 3 wizard steps. In the 3rd step, I have custom button which will open a popup, perform an activity and returns some value to the callback js function in 3rd step. After I receive that value, when I try to reload from javascript function, entire wizard is reloading again and it is going back to 1st step. I need to refresh only 3rd step instead of entire wizard.  Can anyone help me on this?

How can i search for multiple items? I have two part numbers that yield results when searched for separately but when I use a semicolon or "or" nothing comes up. I've multiple variations with spaces and without? What am I missing or is this not possible?  What I am really after is adding a bunch of items to my workspace at the same time from a list I have. If there is a better way to do that I am open to suggestions. 

I am testing imports of Orgs and Manufacturer objects and glad I did. Orgs went in just fine but the MANUFACTURER object was lacking a critcial field and the import ended up creating it in the site level I believe: Now this is not the WTOrganization it is tied to but the container. Obviously, it did not appear correct and it was invisible. In fact, it allowed me to create it via UI methods just fine creating a duplicate. Not sure why if there is only one place they could go, it would default to site which makes it useless.   #CreateSupplier~create~com.ptc.windchill.suma.supplier.LoadSupplier.createSupplier~SupplierType~organization~domain~lifecycletemplate~lifecyclestate~teamTemplate~type #EndSupplier~create~com.ptc.windchill.suma.supplier.LoadSupplier.endCreateSupplier CreateSupplier MANUFACTURER QP001 Basic RELEASED EndSupplier CreateSupplier MANUFACTURER QP003 Basic RELEASED EndSupplier  I think I can do I DB edit to fix this for the one I impo

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).

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
