Windchill

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I want to use the Suggested Value List constraint in PartsLink. From the title, I understand it as a list of values (LOV) that can also be filled with free text if needed—a suggested selection that users can refer to, but with the flexibility to enter their own values. My goal is to assign this to attributes to give users more freedom in some cases, while still providing guidance with a predefined list they can use as a reference.Description: Hello everyone,I have a question regarding Suggested Value Lists in the Parts Link module. When I add this constraint to an attribute, I would expect—based on the name—that I get a selection similar to a Legal Value List, but with the option for users to add new values themselves. That’s how I interpret “Suggested Value List,” but it doesn’t seem to work that way for me. When I set it up in the constraint, I provide a LOV, which I can select from, but I can’t add anything myself.Can anyone explain h

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Finding a standard part's ID from a manufacturer part that is in its AXL list.Description: So far I can find the correct manufacturer part's ID. Looking at the Web UI; I can get the Where Used' table's data using : /Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('VR:com.ptc.windchill.suma.part.ManufacturerPart:XXX')/UsedByBut the part I need to find is in the 'AML/AVL Where Used' table and I can't find the request to acquire this data.Anyone has an idea or maybe how to tackle the higher level requirement of;Finding a standard part's ID from a manufacturer part that is in its AXL list.Many thanks.

We have enabled the Creo ModelCheck integration with Windchill using the Windchill Gatekeeper.In Creo, the ModelCHECK has been configured by referring the above link. Also, the described configuration is done in Windchill as well. So, as per the defined No. of errors in the preference ◦Set ModelCHECK Number of Errors Windchill prevents\allows the checkin of CAD Document.Now it works wonderfully that check-in is blocked if there are ModelCHECK errors.However, we have an additional requirement which we have not yet managed to meet:Let’s say there are some cases where user has run the Modelcheck in Creo and the no. of errors they receive is 5 in creo application and We have defined the No. of errors = 2 in windchill preference and based on Modelcheck report in Creo we don’t want to increase the no. of errors beyond 2 in windchill preference but still user should be able to checkin the CAD Document into Windchill by providing some comment in Creo parameters. It’s like force checkin based o

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.0.2 Hi Team, I'm logged in to our Windchill 13.0.2 as a wcadmin, but I am not able to create a new Product. The icon to crate a new Product is missing. Would you please help? Thanks Laszlo

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.0 The document creation date needs to be displayed in the template. However, when I insert the attribute using the Windchill add-in in Word, the date shown is different from the actual creation date. For example, for a document created today, the value displayed for the creation date attribute shows an older date.

Hi,   I would like to create a report in Report Management about WTParts with configurable links. Can anyone tell me where I can find the config links in in the query Builder? Appriciate any help!   regards, Tobias

 We are currently running Windchill 12.0.2.25 and are planning a migration to Windchill+ 13.1.3, so we are looking for an approach that will work well in both environments.We have a requirement to rank Manufacturer Parts (MPNs) associated with OEM parts as follows:Rank 1 = Approved for Primary Build BOM Rank 2 = Approved for Secondary Build BOM Blank = No restriction; can be used in either buildThe challenge is that the ranking is assembly-specific, not a property of the Manufacturer Part itself.For example:Assembly-AMPN-A = Rank 1 MPN-B = Rank 2Assembly-BMPN-A = Rank 2 MPN-B = Rank 1Because of this:The rank cannot reside on the Manufacturer Part, since the same MPN may have different rankings depending on the assembly where it is used. I don't believe it belongs on the OEM-to-Manufacturer Part (AML) relationship either, since that relationship is global and would not vary by assembly context. Alternate/Substitute Parts do not appear to fit this use case because the requirement is tied

We're building a Change Management Agent — an AI that helps engineering and change-management teams see the full impact of a proposed change before they commit. We have a working prototype and we want participants to help us refine it. Who we're looking for: anyone who regularly runs change impact analysis in PLM — change analysts, change managers, engineers who own the CR/CN/CO review, CCB members. What you'd be doing: a 60-minute working session with our team. You'll walk through the current prototype build, think out loud, and tell us where it earns trust, where it doesn't, and what's missing for it to actually replace pieces of your current workflow. What you get: an early look at where this is going, direct line into the roadmap, and chance to discuss opportunities and ways to improve your workflow. Interested or have a colleague that fits the profile? Please share your contact information in the link below and share the link with colleagues that match the profile. Contact Informa

user will create the part as Engineering View and go to detail page then click on “CheckOut and Edit action. Here wizard pop , user will select the plants specific selections , plant code and click checkIn now another Part (Manufacturing) part is created  Bother are showing in Version History  A.1(Engineering) A.B.1(Manufacturing) we are using the older Multi level Version schema and now we are planning to update to Single Level Version how to get my older associated given manufacturing to Engineer view?. I can use simple QuerySpec and any other Links available to get ?  Currently my windchill system is Multi Level Version schema and now planning to move to Single Level Version in WC_13.1Thanks,Vishvanatha

Hello All,Our requirement is to restrict the participant selection on the Select Participants page in promotion request so that:The Reviewer column only allows members of the Reviewer role. The Reviewer_2 column only allows members of the Reviewer_2 role. The Approver column only allows members of the Approver role.Currently, the participant list is showing all available roles in context team instead of restricting the selection to the members of the corresponding role.Windchill version 13.0

Hi Experts,How many of you actually use Windchill DTI for MS Office? Is it worth to use it or is it an underrated feature ?What are the Pros/ Cons? Is PTC actively considering it as their obligation to maintain that / enhance it?Appreciate your responses. Best regardsHari

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030 I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030 Title: SolidWorks Integration Issues: Workspace Directory Access Failure and WGM Version Mismatch Description: We are using Windchill Workgroup Manager (WGM) 11.0 M030 with Windchill 11.0 M030 on a Windows 10 client, integrating with SolidWorks 2016 SP5 x64. We are encountering two problems: When launching SolidWorks, WGM starts automatically in the background and fails with the error: "Failed to set the workspace local directory" . The log indicates that the folder C:\PTC\WFS\Workspace cannot be accessed。 “maybe it is locked by the PTC WFS Controller service. Despite the folder being locked by the service, WGM is unable to use it properly, causing the initialization to fail." Although we installed WGM 11.0 M030, the SolidWorks add-in shows its version as "PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010". Here are the errors that I faced 2026-07-30T08:2

Was wondering if someone has used a newer version of OpenDJ instead of the older PTC supplied 11.2 version. I downloaded the newer OpenDJ, but am unsure of how to set it up to mirror the 11.2 version. Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I plan to update Creo 7.0.0.0 to Creo 13.4.0.0 Will it work with my current Windchill 12.0.2.7?

is there a way to control the display of version in “Revise” or “collect” window?   

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.18 Referencing to case: CS98538 I need a similar function in NX like for Catia or Creo to use Design Context functionallity. I know, that this is not supported for NX, but i need a way to load filterd CAD Data to NX. Filter used mostly from a Spatial Query. I would be fine when there is a workaround. And maybe you can provide the info when Design Context is available for NX as well Here are the errors that I faced Does not work for NX

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

Per the post, do you know if its possible to retrieve the thumbnail image via the Odata REST API? Thank you in advance!
